Dunholme House is a well-equipped and spacious property, praised for its proximity to Teignmouth's town centre and beaches. Guests appreciate the ample space, including a second sitting room, and the range of amenities provided, such as games and appliances. While parking is noted as a minor inconvenience, the availability of nearby car parks and permits mitigates this issue. The property is described as a comfortable and welcoming base for exploring the area, ideal for large families and dog-friendly.
Most guests found Dunholme House clean and tidy, though there were a few reports of cleanliness not meeting expectations, with mentions of dust and a musty smell. These seem to be isolated incidents rather than the norm.
The location is highly praised for being close to the town centre, beach, and local amenities. The convenience of the location is a recurring positive theme in the reviews.
Guests consistently report that the house is comfortable, with plenty of space for large groups and families. The presence of multiple bathrooms and a second sitting room adds to the overall comfort.
The property is well-equipped with kitchen appliances, entertainment options, and child-friendly features like stair gates. Some minor maintenance issues were mentioned, such as a problematic extractor fan and TV, but these do not seem to detract significantly from the overall experience.
The provision of games, books, and DVDs, as well as facilities for children and pets, demonstrates a high level of thoughtfulness. No specific gifts are mentioned, so the score reflects the general consideration for guests' needs.
A three-storey detached house in a quiet residential street in the Devon coastal town of Teignmouth. This family-sized Teignmouth cottage has been well-restored from its original Victorian style, to provide comfortable holiday accommodation with three bathrooms and four bedrooms. The main sitting room on the ground floor of this Teignmouth cottage has an archway leading to the dining room, ideal for family suppers, and there is a second spacious sitting room on the first floor, ideal as a children's playroom, complete with wall-mounted TV. It is a ten minute walk from this Teignmouth cottage to the traditional pier and seafront, and there are plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants in this busy seaside town.
There are many family activities available from this Teignmouth cottage as well, including an outdoor swimming pool, skate park, adventure golf and two miles of sandy beaches. Wander along the splendid promenade to the working port on the river side of town, and there will always be plenty of ships coming and going in this fast-flowing estuary current. Looking across the River Teign you see the charming small Regency town of Shaldon, home to the Shaldon Wildlife Trust's breeding centre for rare mammals, and the well-known beach at Ness Cove, reached through a genuine smugglers' tunnel. Along the coast from this Teignmouth cottage is the English Riviera, with its micro-climate, tall palm trees, well laid-out municipal gardens and large promenade, lined with ice cream shops and cafes.
Torquay is the birthplace of Agatha Christie and so there are plenty of historic reminders of the author; Torquay also provided the inspiration for the classic British comedy Fawlty Towers. Paignton, which has a fabulous zoo and a steam train taking you to the River Dart, is another day's outing, along Torbay. Families will find plenty of fun whilst staying at this lovely Teignmouth cottage.
Teignmouth in South Devon offers plenty to see and do including a lovely sandy beach, working harbour, a Victorian pier, water play park, mini golf and a bowling green. The breathtaking Dartmoor National Park is a walkers haven, plus the city of Exeter is close by. There are delightful harbour towns nearby such as Brixham, and the zoo at Paignton is well worth exploring.

Having toilet rolls, washing up liquid and hand soap is great when you arrive as a family. The house is in a good location for walking into town, Lidl just around the corner was very handy.
Emma
Has lots of things you might need , nice little patio and lovely lounge with comfy sofas. Decore was lovely too. We had a great time only negatives were lack of storage space in the bedrooms, bedside tables would fix this also a tv in the bedrooms would be nice. Would recommend staying here
