Cosy & homely cottage 1m from Brixham-Tucked away from the hustle and bustle .


Autumn Rose is a grade 11 listed cottage built in 1802 and is approached via an original cobbled pathway. Many of the period features remain, including wooden beams, the flagstone floor and a large stone fireplace with a wood burner - perfect for cozying up in the wintertime with a good book from the great selection available.

To the front there is plenty of on street parking and to the rear a totally enclosed sunny courtyard garden, which is enhanced by an array of seasonal flowering plants, along with ample garden furniture. A barbeque is provided, ideal for a sunny evening and the catch of the day from the harbour fish market.

Autumn Rose is well equipped (the owner being a keen cook), and has a home away from home quality, traditionally furnished with relaxation at its heart. The newly refurbished period bathroom complete with a slipper bath is an irresistible invitation to wind down and take a long soak. (Bubbles provided). This makes this property ideal for couples, seeking a peaceful break, lovers of walking and hiking or families wishing to enjoy the beaches and local attractions. There is a great selection of toys, puzzles and games plus the quirky pirate themed Crows Nest loft room which is s always a big hit with children of all ages.
Beach towels, buckets and spades, fishing and crabbing lines and picnic basket and blanket are all available.

Pets deserve a holiday too, and the garden is perfectly suited, as are all the wonderful walks, so up to two well behaved dogs and owners are welcome, subject to additional fee.

Fast WiFi, suitable for WFH

The cottage is on the edge of Churston village and was built by Lord Churston for his tenants... spot which of the windows are false, and make sure not to use the front door. Allegedly the Lord didn't want his tenants racing onto the street to demand his attention when he passed in his carriage, so he built the (shared access) entrances at the rear of the cottages - but added a fake door for appearances sake.

Within walking distance is the The Railway Inn which serves excellent food plus a local farm shop with locally sourced supplies , cafe and play area, and a particularly good butchers. Agatha Christie's Greenway house is easily accessible via the steam railway, or for those that enjoy walking, there is the scenic route on foot. An easy ramble down quiet lanes and you will find the ancient woodland and an area of outstanding natural beauty . The main path through the woods pass through bluebell meadows, past old limestone kilns and lead to Churston Cove and the south west coast path which can be followed into the historic fishing port of Brixham with its vibrant mix of shops, cafes and restaurants. If you wish you can proceed on the coastal path taking you further afield to yet more stunning views and beaches.

There is a regular bus service to Brixham, Paignton and Torquay which is a five minute walk. Dartmouth can be reached by bus or steam train - services run from February half term to the end of December. Listen out for the train whistle which can often be heard from the cottage !

Christmas breaks are available with decorations and tree , from Dec 1st, light the fire and make the festive season a great time to getaway... local events take place from late November onwards, including the spectacular Christmas train of lights. (Highly acclaimed) Full matching dinner service with serving dishes and glasses provided to ensure your Christmas table is special.

Autumn Rose Cottage is suited to short breaks, summer holidays or longer stays all year round, and whatever the weather it's a wonderful place to be ..................

Lovely family vacation
We loved our time at Autumn Rose. The cottage was a short walk away from Churston Cove and Fishcombe Cove, two lovely and secluded beaches, reached via a delightful woody path. Seals also made their hellos — a magical moment for the family. It was a perfect getaway for our little family—and for wonderful value. Will definitely consider staying again. Recommendation: if you do not have a car but need a taxi, book with Brixham Taxis and do so in advance. Bus system very straightforward and easily located, practically around the corner from the cottage.

Lovely, cosy, comfortable cottage in a superb location.
We loved our stay from start to finish. The owners Wendy and Abigail had decorated the cottage beautifully with Christmas decorations (which I’d requested when booking). The cottage is gorgeous with a lovely, cosy, comfortable living room and a very well equipped kitchen. There was loads of room for the two of us (and our cat) so very suitable for a family of four or even five. The bathroom is stunning. It is a superb base for exploring all that the surrounding area has to offer. Thank you so much to our wonderful hosts. I should add that we loved it so much we have booked again for next year already. If we hadn’t done so, we wouldn’t have been able to tear ourselves away!

Cosy cottage
The property was clean and cosy. Just one thing to note - the heater in the sitting room is all fuel and not gas as listed. As I was only staying 2 nights I would probably have brought supplies if I had known. The central heating was very efficient and the house was soon warm however. I also learned that you can buy all you need to light a fire from a garage...except matches!

Week long family summer holiday
A great stay in this two bedroom cottage. A characterful property house to stay in, located 15-20 minutes walk from local beaches, and a 5-10 minute drive from the centre of Brixham. House has good facilities for children - although probably best for children over 3 due to cleaning products etc not being stored away, and the loft room is brilliant but best for children who can manage a ladder without supervision. Bungalow is well presented, and well equipped - childrens toys in the house, loads of books, and a kitchen well enough equipped to easily cook for a week. Our only niggles might be that the house could have been better cleaned (food on the floor under the table, lots of cobwebs, dirty toys), and a few items need a little TLC (e.g. kitchen knives are completely blunt).

The property is beautiful with lots of character. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and happily would recommend the property to others. Parking no problem outside, Brixham is only a short distance down the road and what a beautiful place Brixham is. Paignton and Torquay are nearby so plenty to see and do.

Exceeded expectations
The cottage had eveything we needed and it was beautifully presented and very comfortable. The outdoor area with patio and garden was an added bonus. There were endless walking trails close by which passed through beautiful forrests, farmland and stunning coves. Will definitely return on our next visit to the UK from Western Australia. Thanks to Abigail and Wendy for being such wonderful hosts.

Lovely character cottage
We had a very comfortable and relaxing stay at this lovely cottage which had everything we needed including a lovely courtyard for a evening drink. Good location and had we stayed longer we would have done some of the various walks that are right on the doorstep. Good meal at the Railway pub and a nice farm shop just down the road.

Fabulous spring short break
We had a fantastic few days away - would have happily stayed much longer. Beautiful walks through woodland to get to the surrounding coves and beaches, and a lovely excuse to sit around and read on a day that was wet. The cottage has everything that you’d ever need (the loft room was a huge hit for our 8 year old) An excellent selection of games and movies, the bath is fabulous for a long soak and an excellent chip shop a few minutes away? What more could you wish for!? We will definitely be back!
