Perfect for families, friends or just a romantic get away! The town is packed with amusements, restaurants and little shops. Soak up the true ambience of a seaside holiday in Dawlish. There is a sandy beach, perfect for sandcastles, crabbing and paddling with the little ones or long walks and watching the sun go down over the water for the romantics. The town centre holds everything you need, from local supermarkets, restaurants, cafes, amusements and tasty cake shops to boutiques and luscious ice cream vendors. Our holiday home is a grade 2 listed townhouse, with parking for 3 cars.

Our subtle outside lighting along the walls and on the parasol with help you relax over a meal or drinks al fresco. Coming back to the hallway at the front of the house is the staircase leading up to five double bedrooms. Being an old house the staircase only has maybe 7 or 8 steps before each landing and a small turn up to the next section of the house, which is helpful for older guests. The first landing holds one spacious double bedroom, which overlooks the garden. Next to this is the main bathroom with a New copper bath, perfect for relaxing and washing the sand off at the end of the day and large separate shower enclosure. Back into the hallway and a short flight again leads you to a large super king bedroom with sea views. This room also has a large TV for cosy films in bed.
