Guests have enjoyed the lovely views and quiet location of the cottage in Dawlish, appreciating its comfort. However, some concerns were raised about cleanliness, maintenance, and the steep driveway.
Reviews indicate that pre-arrival cleaning was not up to standard, with reports of mouldy food and a smell of wet dog. This suggests a need for improvement in cleanliness.
The property is praised for its quiet location and fantastic views, with easy access to the town centre, despite the steep approach.
The house is described as comfortable with very comfortable beds, but the presence of a wet dog smell and a challenging driveway affected the comfort level for some guests.
Facilities are generally good but there were issues with broken boiler, TV aerial, and some kitchen items missing. Maintenance concerns have been noted.
Unfortunately we’ve been unable assess this category comprehensively enough based on the reviews we’ve received from guests about this property.
Resting in the heart of the charming seaside town of Dawlish in Devon is 3 Meldrum Close. This fabulous, dog-friendly holiday home benefits from a front patio with breath-taking views of the sea, an enclosed rear terrace garden with furniture, three well-appointed bedrooms and welcoming living spaces perfect for six guests. After a day by the sea, cross the threshold into your new home-from-home and head straight into the sitting room with wood burner where you can sink into the plush corner sofa and flick on the Smart TV while the designated chef of the group gets acquainted with the fully-equipped kitchen. Gather in the dining room to tuck into a hearty meal before stepping outside to the raised patio in the rear garden to toast your getaway with a glass of fizz while the sun sets behind the horizon. When the sky darkens, wash off the day in the ground-floor bathroom before getting some much-needed rest in one of three bedrooms; choose from a ground-floor king-size, or a king-size and a twin both fitted with a handy basin. 3 Meldrum Close lies paces away from local amenities in Dawlish, stock up on essentials at the local convenience store or head out for an evening meal or drinks at The Brunswick Arms or The Marine Tavern. Dawlish Town Beach is also close by, pack up your beach essentials and spend sunny days on its shores while the kids paddle in the sea. The white sandy beaches of Dawlish Warren are 5 minutes in the car or a 40 minutes coastal walk away. Follow the coast to find Torquay where you can stroll the golden sands of Oddicombe Beach, admire Babbacombe Model Village or Bygones which houses a life-sized Victorian shopping street. Next, stop at St Michaels Chapel for stunning views across the town or head to Torre Abbey to lose yourself in history; continue the historic excursion in the ancient Kents Cavern Prehistoric Caves. Dartmoor National Park is slightly further afield but is well worth the visit for keen ramblers with plentiful walks, hikes, and trails with excellent views.Be sure to make time to tour Dartmoor Zoo which cares for a variety of exotic animals in its 33 acres. Delight in the wonders of Devon at 3 Meldrum Close.
A beautiful coastal town in the south. Dawlish has everything you need for day-to-day life, from a small cinema to a wide selection of shops and restaurants. Black swans and other waterfowl make Dawlish Marsh their home, and the marsh is known for them. During the summer, the water that flows through the town park and into the sea is illuminated by colourful string lights. Dawlish is the ideal holiday resort for families thanks to its beautiful sandy beach and nearby crazy golf course. Dawlish Warren is located further up the coast and is accessible by car, train, or, for the more active, a brisk walk along the sea wall. Plenty of trains stop at Dawlish's mainline station, allowing you to travel to nearby cities like Exeter, Exmouth, Torquay, Paignton, and Plymouth.
