The cottage was much bigger than I expected. Very clean with everything you need and more!
Sheila is a great host, very welcoming, even baking scones with clotted cream and jam for our arrival.
Unfortunately, there is noise from the pub opposite. Not a lot that Sheila can do about that. The road is narrow so the pub is fairly close to the cottage. It didn't bother us too much to be fair, but if you have younger children it maybe an issue.

Self catering facilities excellent. Central location easily accessible for trains and buses, beach and shops and hostelries. Loved the black swans and waterfowl park. Hostess, Sheila, was very friendly, interesting and helpful.
Thank you Sheila..
Can't think of anything which we would improve.

We had a fabulous fortnight at the little mermaid cottage. Was really sad to go home! Absolutely everything you need for a happy holiday in Dawlish. A great location too. We travelled by train and found it to be within walking distance. The cottage is so clean and cosy, with cute mermaids around the house and lots of great artwork on the walls. You can tell a lot of love and effort went into the decor of the cottage. Sheila is an amazing host, we received such a warm welcome, and she even made us some delicious homemade scones! We love you Sheila! Thank you for your wonderful hospitality.
The pub over the road is super loud at the weekend! This goes on until after 1am. Absolutely nothing Sheila can do about that and it isn’t a complaint about the cottage! I’m just mentioning it as it affected our sleep. Even with earplugs I could hear them shouting to one another!

An excellent location. Our hostess was very kind and charming. It was a lovely space to come home to after a long day out.
Could be a bit noisy as the pub closed for the night, but it was silent by midnight and we had no issues with merry-makers.

Home from home. Sheila was a lovely host. Cottage had lots of character. Ideal location for shops, pubs/restaurants and train station.
Occasionally noise from pub over the road but we had no issues with that

close to shops and eateries, comfortable and warm able to travel to other areas by train instead of using the car.
pub over the road could sometimes be noisy, it wouldn’t stop me from going back there but feel people need to know about it.

The cottage was comfortable,clean, quirky and had everything we needed, and my granddaughter thought it was a magical place to stay for a holiday with all the lovely shops and the beaches so close by, it's different to where we have stayed before with punch and Judy, circus and boat rides to enjoy.
My son did not like the pub opposite the cottage, but it did not bother myself or my granddaughter.

The location was perfect. Shops within walking distance, station, seafront, coastal path, park and gardens, and theatre. All close at hand. Short drive to Teignmouth and ferry to Shaldon. Owner always available and very hospitable Cream tea left for us on arrival. Delicious. Cottage was very cosy and comfortable and very well equipped. Off street parking was a definite advantage as parking in Dawlish is very difficult. We couldn’t get the CD player to work but that wasn’t a massive problem.
Nothing at all.

Absolutely beautiful little cottage with everything that we needed. It was spotlessly clean, and Sheila the host was lovely. We had the most amazing cream tea and the weather was perfect that just finished off our stay perfectly

The lovely owner, Sheila, was there to let us in. She made us feel very welcome and even left a cream tea and milk in the fridge for us.
The pub across the road was quite noisy on Friday & Saturday nights but the double glazing helped to dampen the noise.
