“Perfect place!”

Nous avons été enchantés par ce cottage au style bien marqué et ambiance anglaise assurée. Très bien équipé, literie impeccable, propreté rien à dire, situation idéale pour le centre ville, proche de tout. Séjour réussi et adresse à retenir

“The location of this house is great for town and transport links and we liked leaving the car to walk around or catch a train.”

It is quite a roomy property and has been decorated to a good standard. On arrival the property smelt unpleasant, which was strange as it had been cleaned very well and we saw the cleaners leaving. There was a strong vinegar smell (maybe a cleaning fluid) and the kids said the cushions on the sofa smelt strange (maybe needs a deeper clean? ). We left the door open for a couple of hours to help loose the smell which mainly went after 2 days stay and was the ok. The kitchen looks almost new and had every utensil necessary with plenty of pots etc. We found the little freezer o.k for our needs but is too small for larger items like pizza. Plenty of crockery and cutlery which is good and much better then many homes we have stayed in. Soaps and dishwasher cleaners provided which is also good. A good night's sleep was a bit difficult due to the very noisy road being used as a rat run at all hours and not having a deep nights sleep on the uncomfortable lumpy beds sadly. I think this property could be 5 star if a downstairs toilet could be added in the cupboard area by the front door as would be very useful, and new mattresses on beds for better sleep. We would stay again if beds more comfy. Thank you for accommodating our last minute booking. Also the company who respond to queries were extremely efficient, polite and helpful

“I had a wonderful holiday along with my family at dawling in Devon, which was from 30 August to 01september,2023.”

Specifically, the accommodation with nice and comfortable with all facilities as they mentioned on their website. Therefore, I'm so happy for there nice flat with the parking facilities. Of course, I recommend to others for the flat to get as a holiday cottage, which is cool for the family.

“The property is directly on a busy/noisy (weekend especially) road.”

Great access into Dawlish with plenty of lovely shops & cafes, the beach and the train station (barely used the car). Easy to get to lots of great local places/beaches. Home was immaculately clean and Louise who manages it was fantastic! Furnishings were lovely and house well equipped. Top floor was very warm, requested a fan which was delivered very next morning - fantastic service! Quite dark downstairs and people look in to front window when walking past as you are directly on road/pavement. Courtyard garden is accessed via the communal driveway so not particularly private (no drinking coffee in your pjs!) Lovely little spot in the sunshine, camping chairs provided were really useful. Some nice outdoor furniture would make it great! Probably great for families with younger children, those used to noise and those looking for access to local beaches & public transport.

“An amazing, comfortable town house in a good location.”

We were grateful of the off road parking space. The property does need a freezer. Alexa was useful. I would recommend this property highly. We enjoyed the cream tea. The welcome pack was great.

“We had a lovely stay, The Old Town House was very clean and comfortable, easy walking into Dawlish and access to the main roads in & out of Dawlish.”

The private parking was very much appreciated as the road outside was quite narrow. A small freezer in the kitchen would have been useful.

“Great little property in a great location.”

Bags of character, clean and comfortable, we all slept well and enjoyed our stay. Dawlish is a lovely little town with great railway and bus services if you want to leave the car back at this property's off road parking. Very competitively priced too, mustn't forget that! Overall a solid 9/10 and would happily recommend.

“Found the stairs somewhat difficult, and had to have the lights on all the time as it was rather dark.”

Otherwise it was fine. Appreciated the reserved car parking space.

“Lovely house.”

It’s a good spot to have as a base to travel around from. Strangely, there wasn’t a freezer included with the fridge. We had a lovely welcome gift of scones, cream and jam, thank you.

“A really comfortable cottage .”

Excellent recent refurbishment and very well equipped . Very comfortable main bed [ we didn't use the others ] .The rear courtyard whist adjoining the residents small car park [ very handy ] , Is great as it gets the afternoon and early evening sun . My only wish would have been a nightlight on the landing, as the stairs are a bit tricky although we managed and are in our 60's

“The cottage was absolutely amazing.”

Beautiful interior, spotlessly clean and so very, very comfortable. Situated in a prime spot, within easy reach of the train station where there is endless places to go seeing the stunning surroundings on the way. We are a range of ages, 21, 45, 47 and 74 and we all had a fantastic time! I would 100% revisit if next time I could take my dog, unfortunately and for good reason this isn't available at this particular cottage. Only very tiny gripe. There are 2 glass lamps in the double bedroom, they are elegant and luxurious but in a cottage so old you can't walk into the room or even roll over in bed without the constantly tinkling, easy fix, I took the glass shades off. I would 100% recommend this Beautiful place to anyone 5*.

“The property was lovely, the owners were very helpful and we would be happy to stay again.”

The bedrooms were decorated nicely and the bathroom had a great shower. It was nice to sit outside on a warm evening and easy to walk in to Dawlish for a drink later on. The kitchen could have done with a few more plates and cutlery (especially knives and teaspoons). A second large pan and a large frying pan would also have been helpful for feeding 5. Because it is a seaside property, we would also suggest a basic clothes horse that towels and wetsuits could be dried on.
