Fabulous !

The location is truly outstanding!! Our little boy adores trains and it was a dream come true to be able to watch them go by the window and the terrace too. What an amazing place. The view of the sea,cliffs and trains going by was breathtaking ! There were lots of decorations for train enthusiasts which was a lovely touch. Everything was great!

We didn’t want to leave - definitely plan to return.

The location was superb. The apartment comfortable, lots of games, puzzles, playing cards, books, etc., for guests.

Booking.com gave us an out of date access code, we found it difficult to contact owner due to poor telephone signal but all well when we used correct code. We left our empty bottles and refuse bags in property as there was no information re recycling and refuse disposal. More information would be helpful.

Amazing little house with a great view.

The view outside the windows was outstanding. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked with cutlery and other bits and pieces. The gas chimney was very nice and made the living room very cosy. The location was very nice. The patio is very lovely. There was a great selection of DVDs to watch in the evenings.

There was an issue with the ceiling paint peeling off in the kitchen and the flakes falling everywhere. We had a window opened at first and before long the whole kitchen table was covered. It was more manageable with the window shut but still had to make sure we didn't leave any food out. Some furniture does look a bit tired and a smell of damp can be felt in the bedrooms.

10.0 / 10.0

An enjoyable stay in an amazing location.

The location was outstanding, views were amazing and Dawlish town centre and train station were both a short walk away. There was plenty to do - walk along the sea wall in to Dawlish Warren was lovely and the train made other nearby resorts accessible. Beaches were clean and dog friendly. A visit to Powderham Castle is recommended. The apartment was fully equipped with everything we needed - a home from home.

Nothing. Car parking is not available on site but we found plenty of nearby parking just a few minutes away.

We loved everything about the Watch House, the views, the comfort and the proximity to Dawlish

We loved that it felt like a home not just a holiday rental property and the location is fantastic. Kitchen is very well equipped and beds/sofas are very comfortable. Just a few minutes walk into town with a variety of shops and restaurants.

Nothing - we took notice of previous reviews regarding access so were prepared with smaller bags and a torch.

Access for unloading and loading was not ideal and accessing the rear of the property was down a dark passageway with no lighting. However this was assisted with a torch left for our use in the property.

The location was beautiful and the attention to detail in the proper exceed my exceptions. The property was ideal for the two of us and severed as a great base, too good in fact we didn't want to go out some days as the view from the appartment was so exceptional

Nothing to be done about it but as you can't park close to property the step slope and steps were a bit of an issue loading and unloading - as I said nothing can be done about this due to the location

This property has the best views in town.

Fantastic location, plenty of room, awesome views especially if you love to watch trains on the Dawlish seawall. The town is a short walk away where you can find cafes, shops and the railway station. There is also the park with it's riverside walks and famous black swans.

The walk down to the property is steep and we had to park our car in a nearby road, if you are likely to return after dark, it is worth taking a torch.

Little gem

The view! Having a balcony was a real treat.. especially to watch the sun go down and the trains pass. Our 6 year old daughter loved it. The kitchen, diner, lounge was spacious and airy. The beds were comfy and the linen clearly good quality. The distant to the town was great too. Fresh milk in the fridge a thoughtful touch.

Nothing! It was all great x

Night work

I can imagine the location is great when the footbridge is open . Also the view is beautiful.

We were told that the footbridge was closed due to work on the sea wall ,however we were not told the work would be all night ! So about 2-3am each morning we were up watching the workers . The price we have paid does not reflect this . The property needs general maintenance, the decking outside is loose , the apartment smells of damp

Perfect location amazing views , we were not aware of the work being carried out directly in front of the cottage , there was a diversion in place and no access to the beach directly in front of the cottage, which was disappointing but didn’t cause any major issues. We are looking forward to seeing the wall finished. The cottage is very well equipped for a self catering holiday.

A little dated could do with some updates here and there.

Holiday to remember

The property is in an ideal location, just a short walk into dawlish and a nice walk into dawlish Warren. The sea view is amazing. Unfortunately the sea wall is in the process of being built. But to be honest there wasn’t much inconvenience. I’m sure once the work is completed and the bridge reopened , it will be the perfect place to be. We found the workmen friendly and quite liked watching the works progress. The cottage itself was spacious and had everything we needed. I would love to come back to see the work completed and this cottage would be my first choice. If trains are your interest this would be the number 1 location.

A little noisy during the early hours but not the fault of the property owners . The work is essential. Need more towels but not a big deal really.
