💙 The Seagull Tax

Nobody warns you about the Seagull Tax when you book a holiday in Brixham.

You arrive thinking you’ve packed everything…

☑️ Sun cream
☑️ Walking shoes
☑️ Waterproof coat (it’s Devon after all)
☑️ Harbour-view accommodation

But nobody mentions the Seagull Tax.

One chip? Seagull Tax.

Half a pasty? Seagull Tax.

Ice cream left unattended for 3.7 seconds? Straight to Seagull Tax.

🐦 What’s the most outrageous thing a seagull has ever stolen from you?

💙 So… who’s packed for summer and got autumn instead? ☔😂

After that lovely little heatwave last week, Devon seems to have remembered it’s Devon.

But let’s be honest, seasoned visitors know that a rainy day doesn’t ruin a Brixham holiday — it just changes the plan.

My wet weather survival guide:

☕ A long coffee and a slice of cake overlooking the harbour

🍺 A pub lunch that accidentally turns into an afternoon session

🐟 Watching the fishing boats come and go from somewhere warm and dry

🛍 A wander around the independent shops (purely for shelter, obviously)

🎭 Catching a show at the theatre

🏊 A swim at Shoalstone. If it’s raining, you’re getting wet anyway 😅

🍷 Heading back to your holiday cottage with good food, a bottle of something nice and absolutely no intention of going back out

And if all else fails…

🌧 Stand by the window, stare thoughtfully at the sky and confidently announce:

“It’s definitely brightening up over there.”

(Points awarded if “over there” is several miles away 😂)

💙 Why guests keep coming back to Tradewinds…

One thing I’ve noticed from chatting to holiday home owners is that the best places are often created by people who genuinely love hosting.

Jo and Lee are a perfect example.

When they bought Tradewinds, they didn’t just give it a quick refresh and put it online.

They invested in making it somewhere they would genuinely want to stay themselves.

Guests often comment on the comfort of the property, the attention to detail and the little touches throughout the house. The owners even added extra insulation to make sure guests are comfortable all year round, not just during the summer months.

💙 Their favourite thing?

Hearing that guests have had a memorable stay and fallen in love with Brixham in the same way they did.

And with the harbour, restaurants, shops and waterfront all just moments away, it’s easy to see why so many guests return year after year.

Have you ever stayed somewhere that instantly felt like a home rather than just a holiday let?

💙 Some of my regular guests may have noticed by now that I definitely work on Devon time 😂

Things just seem to take longer down here… but somehow in a good way.

You pop out for a quick walk and end up sitting by the harbour for an hour.

You say you’ll head home after one drink… and suddenly it’s dark 😅

And when it’s finally time to leave Devon, nobody seems in any rush to actually get in the car.

I swear this county has its own time zone 👀

💬 How long does it take you to get into Devon time when you arrive… and back out of it again when you go home?

💙 One of the nicest things about booking direct is knowing where your money actually goes.

Behind so many of the holiday homes on Brixham Direct are just normal people:
🏡 local cleaners
🔧 local trades
☕ local cafés & pubs
🛏 small business owners
⚓ families who genuinely love Brixham

When guests book direct, more of that money stays here instead of disappearing into huge commission fees paid to massive companies.

It helps support:
💙 local jobs
💙 independent businesses
💙 real people who care about the town

And honestly… that’s a big part of why Brixham Direct was created in the first place 👀

Same beautiful homes.
Same stunning views.
Just a more local way to book 💙

POV: you came to Devon for a quiet weekend… and accidentally reset your entire nervous system

💙 Before Brixham Direct was even an idea… there was just this little apartment.

Meet The Snug 👀

This was the very first — and only — holiday home I’ve ever owned, and looking back now it’s strange to think how much started here.

At the time, I simply wanted to create somewhere cosy and welcoming for people visiting Brixham.

What I didn’t realise was that it would completely change the direction of my life.

The Snug was the beginning of:
🏡 my love for holiday homes
⚓ my connection to Brixham
💙 hosting guests
✨ and eventually creating Brixham Direct

Years later, it still feels incredibly special to me.

🛏 Cosy ground floor apartment
📍 Easy walk to the harbour
🐾 Dog friendly
💙 Perfect for a relaxed Brixham stay

Funny really… such a small little place ended up becoming such a big part of my story 👀
