A lovely little find

8.0

Dawlish is a lovely little town and well worth a visit. We fell in love with it ..its a great base with great public transport to visit all the lovely places around nearby. Very friendly locals . This little gem of a find is an amazing place to stay . Ideally situated in an extremely quiet location and just a short walk into Dawlish. Sofa folds into a bed and is really comfy Everything you need is in the house...Linda is a great host and has provided all . As long as you know what to expect you will be fine...the house is very small and very little space when the bed is down. The weather contributed greatly to our experience Read previous reviews Overall a great stay and as long as you are prepared for what the house gives you , your stay will be amazing

We stayed during the extreme hot weather and the house was extremely hot, even more so as so small with 2 people in it...we brought a fan which helped but be prepared if you stay in hot weather...bathroom only allows one person in at a time. I am a very light sleeper and the curtains are very thin so the house is very bright at sunrise...I had fortunately bought a sleep mask which helped...as I said its great if you are prepared . There really is no space / drawers for anything which we did know but had to live out the cases which for an overstay or two is fine ..but challenging for us as longer...we were there for 4 days and again the extreme weather contributed to having to get the cases out daily. All things that are ok as long as you are prepared

Kleines Häuschen mit toller Aussicht

9.0

Sehr gemütliches liebevoll eingerichtetes hübsches Häusschen, oben auf dem Hügel. Ruhig gelegen, perfekt zum Abschalten. Super Aussicht, gemütliches Bett, alles da was man braucht. Besonders schön fand ich die eigene kleine Terasse, wo man Abends den Tag ausklingen lassen konnte. Sehr hilfsbereite nette Inhaberin.

Lovely cute place !

10.0

A very cute little house . Loved it. Everything you need and very comfortable for a couple of nights stay .location was very handy for all places 👍

Very steep drive !. Only saying this as constructive criticism. But we think it could do with a very good deep clean . Under table and doorframes and walls . But we did love the stay shame we didn't get to meet you!
