A really friendly hotel with excellent breakfasts, legendary. The most I have ever had for breakfast with a choice of fresh fruits, cereals, full English and toast with local marmalade. Nikki and Ian are excellent hosts and are knowledgeable about the local area.

Thank you so much for your very kind comments. You are right about the breakfasts a Full English is for the very hungry. We do offer a smaller Full English if requested and there is always the option to "mix and match" any of the items on the menu. We get very mixed reports about the road noise especially related...

The character of the area has improved recently now that Dawlish Town Centre and The Strand and Lawn have been redeveloped. There are new cafes, coffee shops and restaurants popping-up for Summer 2013. We are so pleased that you enjoyed you stay and that the Wedding went well. Hope to see you again soon. Nikki & Ian More
