Nikki and Ian were brilliant hosts, nothing you asked was to much bother. Breakfast was as little or as much as you wanted. All fresh ingredients even the bread was baked next door, would highly recommend.

Lovely warm welcome from Nikki on our arrival. The room was lovely and clean and comfortable with the biggest bed I've ever seen. We had a lovely view of the bay. Lovely en-suite shower room with plenty of storage. Only a 5 minute walk to Dawlish Town Centre and the train station. Excellent location and value. We will definitely go back. Highly recommended! Thanks Nikki 😊

Excellent quiet hotel. Excellent full english breakfast. Very friendly hosts. Nice new shower. Convenient for Dawlish and station with direct trains to dalwish warren. Starcross for ferry to exmouth. Torquay and paignton. Parking free but advisable to plan to leave car in car park as small number of places. Breakfast hours limited but we planned to eat 9 am each day and was great. Bar time limited but easy reach of pubs.

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.
