"Little Fountain House, Dawlish 5 July 2025."

1.0

Nothing.

Although we expected the property to be small externally, we did not expect the cramped and limited room inside, caused by the number of pieces of furniture and other obstructions within. The room was described as suitable for two persons for a minimum of two nights, yet it was at best suitable for one person for one night with a rucksack. We were unable to unpack our clothes as there was insufficient room to place a suitcase and no luggage space. There were no coat hangers, despite photos on the website showing a small number on the wall. We had to continually move our equipment around the room in order to find space to merely stand. The property was also described as being '10-15 minutes walk' from the centre of Dawlish. We are both used to walking long distances and I walk briskly, but it took at least 25 minutes to walk from the centre of Dawlish. It was the most uncomfortable experience I have ever had in a holiday let. We left the premises after only a two day stay, because we could not stand any more.

A lovely little house with everything you could possibly need! It was so peaceful there. I loved sitting out on the patio in the evenings. Will definitely be coming back!

"Quaint and quirky."

5.0

Quaint and quirky place well made and designed , some very modern touches , your own parking space. Close enough to walk to walk to town and restaurants. There was tea coffee and milk provided which is a lovely touch. The socket outlets with usb outlets.

Not enough space for big persons, I am 6 feet and large framed , we were constantly moving stuff , to be able to either eat or sleep, the dining table is quite heavy and requires putting up and taking down , not suitable for older people , curtains are see through my wife could not sleep fully as there is too much light coming, the hob is lovely but I could only use one ring at a time, water heater takes some getting used to but well explained. The car parking entrance is interesting, as you need to navigate two hills/cambers to get in. The heating controls are not properly screwed to the wall? And very close to the bathroom light switch , worried it may fall off the wall , there is evidence of tape on the pattress to try and keep it in place, although not high voltage still a worry in the area of the kitchen and moisture.

A small independent garden, quiet, comfortable and excellent value for money.All needs catered for.

Location, would not be suitable for elderly, less mobile clients, but suited our needs.

"Didn't stay because the property was too small for two adults"

1.0

I expected a very small cottage but it was only a converted garden shed with no wardrobes or shelving for clothes, no food cupboard and quite frankly was only suitable for a single person staying one or two nights, definitely not suitable for a couple looking for a three night stay.
