Reviews
Centrally located terraced house which is well decorated and looked after well. Parking is on the street or in a long staycarpark about a 10 minute walk away. We were very lucky to find a space bang in front of the house, generally spaces are not easy to find. We left our car there for the entire week and used trains and walking to get around. Dawlish is well served by trains. The house is well equiped but does not have a washing machine. As my partner had an accident which meant he needed to wash some clothes this was not good for us. There was a problem with the latch on the twin room getting stuck due to poor alignment which meant my partner got locked in until I punched the door in from the other side, as he was trying to go to the loo at 3am he was not best pleased. He did not close the door after that. The location is ideal just behind the main street, on top of restaurants, the beach. the train station and shops. The street itself is rundown though and the pavement rather broken. We were here in very warm weather so had bedroom windows open at night. During the weekend there was drunken behaviour outside in the early hours of the morning which woke us up. Not a problem in general Beds comfortable, good shower and nice back terrace to sit out in. Comfortable sofas and large kitchen A good supply of beach style books. Would recommend but personally would not stay again due to absence of washing machine. We had a busy week and went all over the place. No need for a car, was glad to leave it outside the house.
