    Very nice place but overpriced. It’s basically someone’s spare room and bathroom.

    Difficult to find, so very quiet and peaceful.

    A small quirky cottage in the older part of Dawlish. A 10 minute riverside walk takes you to shops. beach, rail station and pubs. Off street parking is available nearby which is rare in the centre of Dawlish. The host has excellent local knowledge. The room is small but comfortable, and there is a lounge available to visitors, with a small outside seating area.. Everything was beautifully clean including a large bath/shower room.

    Very narrow, steep staircase up to your room. No breakfast,, but this was mentioned on booking

    Set in a very quiet part of Dawlish, the owner is very friendly. Very close to cafes, restaurants and shops.

    Nothing, I liked everything ! The bedroom was a tad small but that was to be expected in a historic cottage !

    A beautiful old cottage, tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean with a big bathroom. Our host made us feel welcome and at home straight away. He even went to the trouble of moving his own car so we could park nearby. A lovely stay at Laurel Cottage.

    It would be nice if someone could move Devon a little closer to Surrey.

    I wanted a quiet, comfortable, non-generic place to stay. I had part of an old house to myself. The bedroom was comfortable, there was a big bathroom/loo, and if I had wanted to use it there was a nice sitting room downstairs. I had sinner at a nice restaurant near the sea.

    There was nothing we didn't actually like. The accommodation has been well-worked, though of course, given the cute house is tiny, the shower is very small and separate from the loo. But for an inexpensive stay we were very lucky to have such a welcoming host and a sweet room to ourselves. My husband likes to do yoga stretching exercises each morning in bed but the bed was a bit too noisy to do them too vigorously without causing concern to the other guest! But sleeping was fine. :-)

    Lovely spot near the water and a very short walk into town. Very pretty garden and inside all was fine for our simple needs. Gingko was lovely and very helpful. We would have liked to have chatted more.

    I found it tricky to extract the key from the coded container, but managed eventually.

    The house is charming, the room was airy and clean and completely quiet at night. The bed is very comfortable and I experienced a perfect night’s sleep, the best for many years. The host, Gingko Sequoia, is relaxed, considerate and very helpful.
