Stepaside Apartments - Tom`s Nest

Tom`s Nest is a 1 bedroom apartment perfect for a romantic break overlooking the stunning Breakwater.

Tom`s Nest is a cosy one-bedroom apartment that can sleep two guests in an en-suite double bedroom. This property offers unencumbered frontal views of Brixham Marina. For larger parties — especially family groups — the neighbouring Poppin sister apartment (sleeps 4 in two rooms) or the Penny Steps house next door (which sleeps up to nine) can be booked for convenience, subject to availability. Tom`s Nest is ideal for a couple, especially if you are bringing older relatives who would appreciate a little extra peace and quiet.

However, it is not suitable for those with mobility impairments. There are 15 steps from the pavement level to the communal ground-floor front door, from which there is an inside flight of 32 stairs to the top floor to access the apartment. Pets are also not permitted at this property, and as it is a one-bedroom apartment it is not suitable for children.

In order to unpack on arrival and re-pack upon departure, there is a 15-minute loading/unloading space outside the property. If you anticipate taking longer than this, someone must stay in the car at all times, or the property`s parking at the Brixham Marina multi-storey is only two minutes` walk away. A permit is provided for the duration of your stay, but must be left at the property upon departure. Failure to do so will incur a replacement charge on your security deposit. The car park is secured by number plate recognition cameras and presents a large saving on local parking, which can infamously be scarce in the summer months.

Tom`s Nest is a homely, comfortable nook that provides an escape from the bustling world, but it also provides necessary appliances for modernity, ease and comfort. The property`s windows provide plenty of natural light throughout the apartment, and its consistent neutral colouring makes for an incredibly relaxing experience for our guests.

Enjoy a book or a glass of wine while enjoying the glorious sea views, allowing you to fully escape into realms of your very own. You could even enjoy Torbay`s very own Queen of Crime and visit the local Greenway House (which features in several Poirot mysteries) or venture to Torquay for the Agatha Christie mile to make your imaginations an immersive reality.

Less than a mile away along this path is the Berry Head Fort Café, providing a great spot for a cup of tea and a bite to eat while enjoying the stunning cliffside views and the eponymous Napoleonic fortifications.

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.
