Stepaside Apartments – Tom’s Nest

Tom’s Nest is a cosy one-bedroom apartment, perfect for two guests, with a comfortable double bedroom and en-suite shower room. Perched above Brixham Marina, the property enjoys uninterrupted views across the water. Tom’s Nest is an ideal hideaway for couples seeking peace and quiet with a touch of charm.

Inside, Tom’s Nest offers a warm and welcoming retreat: homely yet equipped with all the modern conveniences needed for a comfortable stay. Large windows flood the apartment with natural light, while the soft, neutral décor creates a calm and restful atmosphere. Guests can unwind with a book or a glass of wine while soaking up the stunning sea views - the perfect backdrop for relaxation.

A parking permit is included for the duration of your stay, offering significant savings in an area where spaces are often scarce, particularly in the summer months. Full unloading and parking details will be provided ahead of arrival.

Please note: access to the apartment involves 15 steps up from pavement level to the communal entrance, followed by an internal staircase of 32 steps to the top floor. Pets are not permitted, and as the property has just one bedroom, it is not suitable for children.

The property is located on Berry Head Road, nearby the South Western Coastal Path that offers great local walks to stretch your legs. Less than a mile away along this path is the Guardhouse Café, providing a great spot for a cup of tea and a bite to eat while enjoying the stunning cliffside views and the Napoleonic fortifications.

The Breakwater Beach, Brixham’s stunning shingle beach, is close by and has a Blue Flag Award — a global standard that commends cleanliness, safety, and environmental considerations.

Popular local eateries such as The Prince William and Rockfish are situated on the Marina, and a short stroll from here brings you to the town centre with its eclectic local business & access to the wider beyond by bus or seasonal ferry, including Dartmouth, Paignton and Torquay.
