10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
We had a wonderful stay at this property! We arrived a little earlier than the official check-in time, and Tony was incredibly accommodating—he kindly let us park and explore the area while the property was being cleaned after the previous guests.The location is absolutely perfect—right next to the beach and just steps away from shops, restaurants, and most importantly, the train station, which made it super easy to get around. It was the ideal base for our holiday, and we really appreciated how convenient everything was.Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable stay in a prime location. Thanks again, Tony!

Lovely property and excellent location. Lovely hosts and made to feel very Christmassy before we arrived. Definitely a property we would use again.
10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2024
We had a multi-generational group stay at Choo Choo for Christmas and had a wonderful time. The house is spacious and comfortable with everything you could need for an easy stay. The location was convenient and close to the sea front as well as shops and amenities in Dawlish.

Lovely house, good for a large family group. Nicely decorated. Good communication with Tony. The boiler died on us in the last day or so of our break which was a worry because it leaked so much.
