Fantastic traditional B&B close the centre of Dawlish and a short walk from all transport options. We booked last minute but the hosts Ian and Nikki were pleased to accommodate us and provided comfortable clean rooms and a delicious award winning breakfast. Only caveat is the car park is relatively tight and might present a problem for drivers of larger SUVs but Ian was on hand upon arrival to greet arriving guests and ensure the parking worked out. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and will definitely stop again for a next trip to Dawlish.

Warm and welcoming greeting

On arrival the owners were very welcoming greeting us by our names giving it that personal touch. The rooms are light fresh and clean but most importantly we’re ready for us when we checked in. The location of the property is perfect as it is close to the beach. The breakfast was delicious and there was plenty of it to set us up for the day. We will definitely recommend staying there to friends and family

The b&b was a very clean and tidy. Breakfast was good but i don't think the staff had very good people skills. Ian didn't like the fact that when we booked in we had made a reservation with Hotels.com and because we booked with yourselves we had to change the night before to a different room as there was somebody else staying in our room. If they don't want hotels.com to make a booking why advertise with them. Nicki who served us our breakfast was very offish with us.
