Summerwind Guest House is situated in Exmouth and is just 3 minutes walk from the beach and marina.

Each room comes with a flat-screen TV. Certain rooms include a seating area to relax in after a busy day. You will find a kettle, tea and coffee in the room. Extras include free toiletries and a hairdryer. Summerwind Guest House features free WiFi.

We booked to stay at Summer Winds at very short notice, late in the afternoon, having been badly let down by a different guest house in the town. Our host, Sue, could not have been more friendly, helpful, attentive and considerate. She responded immediately and brilliantly to our situation and, at the drop of a hat, provided us with a lovely, clean, comfortable room. The room was cosy, with plenty of tea/coffee supplies and a small fridge, a nice touch which we found very useful. The ensuite shower room was spacious, well set up and extremely clean. The guest house is very well located in a quiet road just a three minute walk from the marina, and Sue's genuinely friendly, personal touches made our stay really enjoyable. We can't recommend Summer Winds highly enough. We'll always use this terrific guest house whenever we are in the area.

We love Dawlish, but never stayed the night here before, so it was very pleased surprise for us to find this lovely place which gives warmth and homely feel. Spacious room, large comfortable bed, lots of pillows, big TV screen, tea and coffee making facilities, even bottled water and fridge. Bedside tables with plenty of drawers, open wardrobe with hangers, hairdryer, suitcase rack, chair, seat by the table, bible on the bedside table, box of tissues.

Tina is a force of nature: absolutely amazing! She opened her home to us and made our holiday *perfect*. I have seen my fair share of CLEAN places, but this one was an entirely new level of cleanliness--and the breakfasts were the cherry on top. (Some days, literally.) I'm afraid she has ruined all our future holidays though: the bar is set so high now that most likely it cannot ever be reached again.

Seaside guest house a stone's throw from the beach, a property with a garden, is set in Dawlish, 2.4 km from Teignmouth Town Beach, 2.7 km from Red Rock Beach, as well as 12 km from Newton Abbot Racecourse. This beachfront property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is located 1.9 km from Dawlish Beach.

A lovely little studio with nicely stocked facilities. The sheets were lovely and soft, the bed very comfortable. There was a TV which we used to snuggle and watch a film on in the evening as it had Netflix access (may have also had others, we didn't check past Netflix). Everything was very clean and I always got a quick response if I needed help. Also, the scones, jam and cream in the fridge was a lovely surprise. I couldn't recommend this little place enough.

    Delicious breakfast with a wide choice. The location is great, peaceful and quiet yet very close to Exmouth centre which itself is nicer than I expected. Debbie is a charming and most welcoming hostess and we enjoyed chatting about a range of topics especially dancing!

    The Old Dairy is one of the best places I have stayed. It was in a great location and was an exceptional room in an exceptional house. Everthing was immaculate and spotless with beautiful attention to detail. Den was a great host who provided us with a lovely breakfast before we headed off.

    A big thank you to lan & Tracey for a wonderful stay at their B&B. Great hosts made us feel most welcome. Ian gave some great suggestions on places to visit which  we loved. The addition of our personal little lounge was a lovely surprise. Tracey's breakfasts were very tasty with fresh fruit, yogurts and cereals as well as a full English made to order. Would highly recommend this wonderful B&B

    The accommodation was great. Very spacious apartment and was comfortable for 4 adults, one 18 month old and a medium size dog. Very quiet and peaceful and all the mod cons we needed. Close to the beach, bars, restaurants, shops. A great location for a holiday. We had no issues with parking and always found a spot on one of the side streets. The host was great and on hand to answer questions. We would definitely choose Time Out again when we come back to Exmouth.
