Seaside guest house a stone's throw from the beach, a property with a garden, is set in Dawlish, 2.4 km from Teignmouth Town Beach, 2.7 km from Red Rock Beach, as well as 12 km from Newton Abbot Racecourse. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is located 1.9 km from Dawlish Beach.

A lovely little studio with nicely stocked facilities. The sheets were lovely and soft, the bed very comfortable. There was a TV which we used to snuggle and watch a film on in the evening as it had Netflix access (may have also had others, we didn't check past Netflix). Everything was very clean and I always got a quick response if I needed help. Also, the scones, jam and cream in the fridge was a lovely surprise. I couldn't recommend this little place enough.

Just short walk up the hill from the train station, nice white colour guest house. No noise inside the rooms, the property being next to the busy road, even see view from the window! We love Dawlish, but never stayed the night here before, so it was very pleased surprise for us to find this lovely place which gives warmth and homely feel. Spacious room, large comfortable bed, lots of pillows, big TV screen, tea and coffee making facilities, even bottled water and fridge. Bedside tables with plenty of drawers, open wardrobe with hangers, hairdryer, suitcase rack, chair, seat by the table, bible on the bedside table, box of tissues. Small shower room, but accommodates all sorts of towels, even extra one for hands by the sink and air freshener (many hotels forget about this), shampoo, shower gel, conditioner - everything is though about, couldn't wish better. Hosts very welcoming. You could see they put them heart and soul into it. Place has reception lounge and licensed bar. Definitely stay there again.

Housed in a 17th-century building, this guesthouse is situated in the quiet Devonshire fishing village of Shaldon. Rooms have views of the courtyard or river and come with free Wi-Fi.

The Potters serve traditional English breakfasts in the dining room. There are several pubs and restaurants in the village, all within easy walking distance.

The house, the room, the staff, the breakfast and the location were all lovely... And we were able to park outside.

    The house is charming, the room was airy and clean and completely quiet at night. The bed is very comfortable and I experienced a perfect night’s sleep, the best for many years. The host, Gingko Sequoia, is relaxed, considerate and very helpful.

    It's a quiet beautiful spot in a great location. Torquay 35 mins away ditto Darts Farm. Not too far from Exeter too and Dawlish itself has all the amenities you could need. Our host Ruth gave us an upbeat start to our short break.
