Just short walk up the hill from the train station, nice white colour guest house. No noise inside the rooms, the property being next to the busy road, even see view from the window! 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. Small shower room, but accommodates all sorts of towels, even extra one for hands by the sink and air freshener (many hotels forget about this), shampoo, shower gel, conditioner - everything is though about, couldn't wish better. Hosts very welcoming. You could see they put them heart and soul into it. Place has reception lounge and licensed bar. Definitely stay there again.

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.

Boasting pool with a view and views of mountain, Halekulani Devon Homestay is a recently renovated homestay situated in Torquay, 1.5 km from Maidencombe Beach. Featuring full-day security, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi, free private parking and an electric vehicle charging station.

What’s not to love about Halekulani Devon Home Stay? A beautiful, immaculately clean house in a beautiful location with far sweeping ocean views, super comfortable beds, plenty of hot water for a bath or shower and a great breakfast. All the hallmarks of a truly great bed and breakfast are there, but what makes a stay here even more special are the little touches, the attention to detail that Anne, your delightful hostess and new to the hospitality game this past year (although you wouldn’t know it), has included, such as the little slate heart hanging in my room that said “welcome, Keith” on it. These are the things that stand out and turn a nice stay into a truly memorable one. In keeping with the Hawaiian theme, the whole house exudes an atmosphere of peace and tranquility. There’s even beautiful Hawaiian songs playing at breakfast. Overall, an exceptional stay and one that I hope to repeat often. Halekulani, as the very helpful info sheet that Anne provides in every room, actually means “a house befitting heaven” and based on my stay, I think this house is perfectly named. Mahalo, Anne!

    Beautiful location, fantastic scenery, beautiful old farmhouse with the most amazing hosts you could wish for. It's more than a b and b but not quite self catering, just brilliant. Geoff and Andrea are great hosts. Thanks for a great stay.

    Lovely hosts, nothing was too much trouble. Took us out on the farm to see their animals, took the time to chat and get to know us. We had a living room to ourselves as well as our bedroom, it was a nice extra treat. Just an all round wonderful weekend

    Excellent across the board, we chose the hotel for the good reviews of staff, comprehensive facilities and the lovely grounds and location; staff very pleasant and helpful, high levels of conduct and service, very professionally-run environment which ticked all the boxes, exceptional breakfast, a very recuperative environment and by chance also the original purpose of the private home constructed on the site in the 18th century, a return trip already in planning
