Comfortable and convenient with every conceivable feature for a great holiday.

The location was perfect for a summer holidayto visit friends. It was easily accessible and close to everything including stunning coastal walks and local pubs. The premises were fully equipped for a great stay. The kitchen and laundry facilities were extremely useful, and it was nice to have access to Sky tv.

A really beautiful house to relax in.

The accommodation is very beautiful and quietly located. We really liked the layout of the house and the fact that you could see the sea from the sofa.

We had a brilliant time

We had a brilliant time. It was very homely and we loved the beach walk. We visited Salcombe, Dartmoor, and had a great meal at the London Inn at Shaldon... The house is in such an amazing location, We were able to explore a lot in a small amount of time.

The Willows-quiet, quality and scenic location

This was our second stay at The Willows in 3 months. We love its location-so convenient for walking to Holcombe beach and into Teignmouth and Dawlish. The house is beautifully laid out and superbly equipped - so homely - and the outside terraces are amazing for all meals and relaxing. We love The Willows! We do find the TV a bit awkward to get sorted at first, but once we’d cracked the method it was fine.

Great fun for the kids!

We have had a great eleven days at “The Willows”. Grandparents from Australia and family from England. The house has been great for three generations. And of course the beaches were great fun for the kids…lots of sandcastles. Many thanks.

The location was beautiful!

The location was beautiful! Perfect distance to walk to teignmouth-a little trickier to Dawlish. The house was fabulous, comfortable and had everything you could possibly need from a home. Lots of clear instructions and information about local amenities, attractions etc. A lovely, generous welcome gift on arrival and friendly neighbours. A wonderful spot for a family holiday (all adults) and would definitely stay again.

Amazing house and location

Amazing house and location. Couldn’t have asked for more. So lucky with the weather too. Got the bus to Teignmouth. Easier than taking the car. Lovely having the beach so near. A nice walk away. And lovely food at the Castle, celebrating my birthday.

Relaxing!

A really relaxing holiday, just what we needed. We love your beautiful home, lovely to be amongst such lovely furniture, paintings and great books! We’ve enjoyed mornings on the deck reading and drinking coffee, walks along the costal paths and down to the beach, pottering around Teignmouth, Shaldon, and daily swims from the stunning Dawlish Warren. Real comfort and relaxation, thank you so much.
