"Very cosy, quaint accommodation in lovely location"

10.0

Very cosy & comfortable. Despite the size, the kitchen & bathroom are fine. Wi fi signal excellent. Television has loads of channels including Netflix & Amazon Prime. Plenty of space at the front of the property to park a car.

Roads nearby are quite narrow, but are ok if driven carefully.

"Good"

6.0

Very steep hill. Quite tight trying to get car onto drive. Then big slope when trying to get off drive.. nothing close in property garden in a shed. Couldn't go out on night as frightened to get car off drive in dark so steep. Only one taxi company and they only had 2 cars so couldn't go out. A pain really. Spoilt stay. So we were originally staying 2 nights but only stayed one . Went home in afternoon as nothing to do..sofa bed was uncomfortable. The mattress on it went in at the middle. So hardly got any sleep. It would be ok for a kids stay over but not for adults.

"Not quite what we expected too small space for two"

5.0

I liked the courtyard it was a nice place to sit, especially in the morning at breakfast when the sun was there.

The bed was awful not comfortable at all I was in a dip as it was in two pieces and I was up against a wall, I had bad sleep most nights. The light coming in did not bother me. The shower was unpredictable followed instructions set out in the manual. The cooker did not have an oven and could only use one ring at a time. Rang the owner she sent a friend to help us work it. Lack of storage space felt cramped for two people. A smaller table would have helped provide more space just a small round folded one, there was a large heavy table not needed really. Also coffee machine was nice but not necessary it took worktop space and we never used the dishwasher, again the cupboard could be used for storage. I feel a few tweaks could improve the small area as I would call it a studio rather than an apartment.

"Little fountain house"

2.0

Location was very peaceful

This shouldn't be called an apartment as its far from one is more like a glorified garden summer house. No where to store anything. Says it has an oven but doesn't defo not worth the money

"Charming!"

9.0

Charming property and friendly host. 15 mins to the town along the river. Ideal for walking to Teignmouth and dining at the Jolly Fish Shop. Also for walking the coast to Starcross and the River Exe. The Sticky Rice Thai restaurant in Dawlish is excellent, as are the pasties at 100 year old Gay's Bakery. Will try and visit some of the interesting looking pubs next time!

"Excellent"

8.0

Location ,parking, clean , requested early check in an the host was happy to oblige, milk tea and coffee left for us upon arrival. Good value for money

Only one and that would be thicker curtains as once it becomes light, the room is light and we were awake earlier than we would have liked. We have black out blinds at home so may not be an issue for others.
