A traditional seaside retreat, Berry Head Hotel is superbly positioned at the water's edge, with access to the rocky bays below. Guests are invited to soak up 180-degree sea vistas with easy access to the South West Coast Path. A striking historical building, set within six-acres of woodland in a beautiful country park, the hotel boasts an enviable location in the fishing port of Brixham, south Devon - home of the world-famous fish market; happily you can expect an array of fish and seafood, straight from the day boats. Comfortable spaces are designed around the coastal surrounds, bringing the outside in. Perfect for outdoors enthusiasts, as well as anyone looking for a relaxing escape on a stunning stretch of the southwest coastline.
The historic fishing port, with its replica of Sir Francis Drake's famous ship is a must-visit, along with a tour of Brixham's renowned fish market.
Agatha Christie's former home, Greenway House, is a 20-minute drive away.

The ideal base for exploring the south Devon coastline, the hotel is perfect for traditional seaside holidays, as well as outdoor adventures. Nothing says quintessentially coastal quite like sinking into a deckchair - iced-beverage in hand - to take in the sea views - holiday bliss!
We loved walking through the woodland to Berry Head Nature Reserve - an impressive headland with its iconic lighthouse and Napoleonic Fort.
