We had a great weeks stay in Dawlish in Coastal Haven. the cottage was very clean and had all the amenities you require and a fully enclosed small garden for our dog. it was in a great location just a 30 second walk to the river and then a 5 minute walk down the river to the town centre where there are some great little restaurants and pubs and of Read morecourse all the ducks and swans. The car park is only a one minute walk to the cottage but there is a few free parking spaces on the street just a 3 minute walk away through the park in Barton Terrace and Barton Crescent. The local Costcutter sells the instant burn fire logs required for the log burner. I would definitely recommend staying here if you're visiting Dawlish. Hide

Lovely comfortable cottage in a great location near Dawlish. We really enjoyed our riverside walks into town. The cottage was spotlessly clean and well equipped with plenty of space. The garden was perfect to sit out in with a glass of wine! Thank you very much.
