Another trip down to Brixham, just before Storm Darragh arrived! Thankfully the weather was pretty decent for our own out-of-season short break, and we managed to get out and about around Torbay as well this time.
Here’s a few photos from our trip to show how great Brixham and the bay looks even for a Winter break – there are even some shots of the Christmas Lights in town!
Any trip to Brixham wouldn’t be complete without a full English or two, and these are a couple of our favourites:
This is from The Guardhouse Cafe on Berry Head – you need to be mindful that they stop serving breakfast around 1130, and then have a 30 minute hiatus with no food service to swap over to the lunchtime ment… which does also include their legendary doorstep sandwiches, so even if you are a bit late for breakfast, thre is still an opportunity to get your daily fix of bacon that way too!
The Dilly Dally Tea room is now under new ownership as of Xmas 2024, but we’re hoping the new owners manage to carry on with breakfasts as good as this one, which we managed to get in just before the previous owners closed up shop at the start of December.
A very bold robin who we encountered on the South Coast Path walking round from Brixham to Fishcombe Cve and on to Broadsands.
This was the view of the harbour just before Storm Darragh hit the South West – we’ve never seen so many boats in harbour all at the same time!
As well as hhaving our own break, the other reason (or “excuse!”) for going to Brixham in December is of course to unpack and set up the Christmas Tree and decorations for our guests over the festive period.
Happy Christmas and New Year!
