Is Maritime Right For Your Group

Discover why this cottage is the one for your party or family reunion...

For Families
The Sail Loft is designed for couples rather than families with children. The first-floor apartment with balcony overlooking the harbour may not suit young families. However, Brixham offers family attractions nearby including Paignton Zoo, beaches and rock pooling spots. The working harbour provides interest for older children fascinated by boats and fishing.
Groups Will Love...
The private balcony at The Sail Loft creates a perfect setting for romantic celebrations. Watch the sunset over Brixham harbour with a glass of wine whilst fishing boats return with their daily catch. The intimate space suits anniversary breaks or special occasions for two. The harbourside location means champagne breakfast deliveries and waterfront dining are steps away.
Pet Friendly
The Sail Loft does not accept pets. This policy ensures the apartment remains suitable for all guests, including those with allergies. Brixham offers excellent coastal walks and beaches where well-behaved dogs are welcome in designated areas. Several nearby holiday properties in the Maritime development and surrounding area do welcome pets if you're travelling with your dog.
