Breakfast superb
Good location, but as elderly people with limited walking ability we found the hill into Dawlish a problem as we did not have a car. thAe public transport was good but timing haphazard.
8.0 / 10.0
Ideal location - short stroll to town centre.
Beautiful view of the sea from bedroom window
Spacious room. With fridge.
Friendly hosts - eager to please
Perfect poached eggs for breakfast!
Shower head in bathroom very small - barely adequate. No grab rail to use stepping over edge of bath to shower.
Awkward angled parking spaces if large car.

Nikki the host was just the best, she was welcoming and very funny, the Breakfasts were excellent and I left each morning so full that I didn't need lunch, will definitely be returning here when we next visit Dawlish.

Warm welcome by Ian and nikki. Fabulous facilities, little beer garden, bar inside, tasteful decorations. Parking a bonus as Dawlish is limited for parking. 5 minute walk downhill to the town and train station.
Our room was on ground floor. Very comfortable large bed, fridge, kettle with tea coffee and biscuits. Lovely bathroom, large television, water bottle, wardrobe and bed side cabinets.
All tastefully decorated, both room and bathroom. Breakfast was exceptional. Cooked to order. Good selection of cereals, fruit, tea coffee and homemade toast with jam
Nikki was great fun and hospitable at breakfast and couldn't do enough. Ian is an accomplished chef and food was high quality. Would definitely return, fantastic stay. Massive thank you to Ian and nikki.
Nothing had a lovely stay

The landlady was really helpful and friendly. The breakfast was one of the best I have ever had.
I left 3 beers on the side in my room. She had even switched the fridge on in there and put them into to cool.
A seagull had done its business on my car and Nicky washed it for me. I had never asked.
Totally incredible service.

Breakfast was fantastic, always service with a smile and chat. Nikki and Ian are a lovely couple.
We had a magnificent 4 poster bed which was really comfy. The only thing that could have improved the room is 2 small comfy armchairs and a smaller table in the window, the dining table is too big and makes pulling curtains awkward.

Room was clean and freshly painted. Very comfortable large bed. Friendly hosts. Great breakfast. In a good location with a short walk to all amenities, train station and beach.
The room would have benefited from heavier or black-out curtains. We were awake very early from the light pouring in. Also a little noisy from the main road traffic outside.

The host was very helpful, going beyond what I normally find in the ig hotel chains.
The situation was excellent for access to the town and beach, in minutes on foot. There was parking.
Easy to drive to the charming little town of Teignmouth nearby, or the area for general tourism.

The staff was super friendly and polite. The hotel was lovely with a very comfortable bed. I have to say. Great location to the seafront.
For one night stay, it was perfect, more than what I could’ve asked for. So there was nothing I didn’t like.
6.0 / 10.0
Nearly £90 per night with no breakfast. Hotels in Torquay significantly cheaper.
Double room was two single beds pushed together.
Clean, neat and tidy but not amazing. Location next to main road noisy, fridge making a lot of bizarre noises throughout the night. Didn’t sleep all week.
Guest house appeared to have a small bar but never seemed to be open.
Dawlish has nothing. Very tired, rundown town. Barely any cafes open before 10am.

Lovely owners, comfortable bed, good TV with plenty of channels, good location, nice view.
Room was crying out for renovation, and cleanliness wasn't up to standard. The windows were filthy inside and out, and there was an unwashed glass in the bathroom that had clearly had cola in it at some point.

The Breakfast was outstanding and so much choice really set you up for the day. Location is excellent just a short walk from all the amenities.
Room could have been a little bit bigger, as no space for the luggage or wardrobe to hang dresses etc.

Breakfast was fine,
I asked for decaf tea bags for our room and was told off for not letting them know before hand about my special dietary requirements. Most places offer def tea as standard. The parking was tight and we parked slightly 2-3 cms over the white line , which led to us receiving a text to complain about our poor parking.
Finally between our room and the hall, dining room exit there was an electric cable draped over the door and light fittings, on our first morning this had fallen down and was head height, An accident waiting to happen.
However the breakfast was hot and well cooked but We felt Basil Fawlty is very much alive and living in Dawlish.

The breakfast is outstanding. Cooked by the owner and served by the co owner, his wife. Everything is cooked to order so you can order precisely what you want off the menu. The Hostess Nikki is Thai and she is a real character and sees her role to serve but entertain at the same time!
The rooms a great with comfortable beds and excellent bathrooms

Close to the train station, but also had a good size car park. Proprietors were very accommodating & friendly. With their local knowledge it helped us to find our way around the area. Very good selection of cereals, fruit & yoghurt at breakfast including cooked breakfast to order, again very accommodating!
Nothing to dislike
7.0 / 10.0
Our room(no.2) was amazing and breakfast was first class.
There were 9 very tight parking spaces, the proprietor came out every time I parked to tell me off about the straightness of my wheels and if I was within the lines. It was if he lay in wait for his next victim. This wasn’t cool as the reason we were there was because we we’re going to a family funeral. Also we decided to leave straight after breakfast so when I tried to give our keys in I was aggressively shooed away from the kitchen, all I wanted to do was not leave the keys on reception and drive off without a word, very rude.

Close to the beach, excellent breakfast, comfortable bed
It was over priced at £155 for a small room - could do with updating - thought I’d booked a much bigger room with a four poster bed but wasn’t the case on arrival- probably best to book direct with the hotel so you know what you are getting.
