About this property

Mead Flat in the Heart of Dawlish with Great Sea Views 150m from the Beach

Mead Flat is a large top floor 2 bedroom flat in a Victorian property in the heart of Dawlish. In 2018 it was completely refurbished to a very high standard. The accommodation comprises of a double bedroom with en-suite; a large second bedroom which has a double, a single and a single sofa bed; the main bathroom; a large living room with kitchen and dining area. We use this flat as our holiday home with our 4 boys so it has everything you need for a great holiday. Everything is within a very short walking distance whether it be playing on the beach, running about on the lawn, browsing the local shops and restaurants, or jumping on the train up to Exeter or down to Penzance . Whilst there isn't parking at the property, you can park in the train car park (for a daily fee) or up the hill 5 minutes away for free. Once we are there we don't use the car for days.
It is also a great base to explore the Devon coastline as it is next to the south coast path, and as it is not far from the M5, it only takes us just over an hour to get there from the M4/M5 junction.

Please Note VRBO operate a non-refund policy if cancelled within 30 days of the stay. If you cannot stay at the property due to a national lockdown, or a local lockdown in the Dawlish area then we will manually offer a full refund.

Gorgeous stay in Dawlish

Our group was myself and my sister with our husbands. Perfect to have 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms, with a large table and comfortable couch. The kitchen is amply supplied, everything was clean, well explained, and enjoyable. You can't beat the location and the view. We even had gorgeous weather and some lovely strolls around town. Only downsides are taking luggage up the narrow staircase and having to park off property, but those are not bad tradeoffs and can't be helped. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again! Hosts were communicative and helpful!

MEAD FLAT

We stayed for a week the property is in a good location easily accessible by train or bus also you can travel around to visit other locations from this property very easily there’s a bus stop right outside and train station across the road good views out of the living room window the property itself was clean except a dishwasher full of dishes on arrival ,paintwork needs a little attention the shower cubicle door does not shut well the shower seal needs replaced also quite dirty also a tiny shower mat for standing on does not mop up the water escaping from the worn shower seal both the ensuite bathroom and the main bathroom had a very strong smell of what I would think would be a drain problem not nice at all the property was on the top floor the bonus was the view the downfall was getting 2 medium suitcases up all the flights of stairs really struggled to get them up and down stairs ,mostly has everything you need for a holiday no hairdryer which would have been useful especially when travelling long distance without a car otherwise well equipped ,very spacious overall a nice place to stay nothing massively wrong with this property just a few minor problems that could be easily be resolved except I’d say for the very noisy neighbours continuous loud music music playing in one of the properties day and night until past 12 midnight daytime didn’t matter to us but after midnight yes it did so not a quiet place to stay no consideration for there neighbours which is a shame .

Fantastisk opphold

Har bare gode ord å si om leiligheten. Midt i smørøyet, rent og fint, alt vi trengte og bra kommunikasjon med verten. Dawlish er en fantastisk plass å reise på ferie. Stranden var helt topp. Vi kunne ikke hatt det bedre i forhold til leiligheten vi valgte. Alt var i nærheten, og den var ikke bråkete, selv om vi bodde midt i sentrum. Alle i familien synes det var helt topp. Også deilig å ha kort avstand til gåturen mellom Dawlish og Dawlish Warren.

Perfect

The location of the property is ideal, just across the road from the railway station and the beach, overlooking the lawns. Check in was very simple with straightforward instructions provided and the property was as described. We had no issues at all. I will admit that I was slightly worried about the number of stairs, having had a knee injury previously, but it was fine and unless your mobility is very restricted then most people won't have a problem, and the view from the living room made it worth the small climb! We had a very enjoyable stay and would not hesitate to recommend this property.

We have had a lovely short break at the apartment. It had everything we needed, a real home from home. Lovely light and spacious rooms and nice decor and furnishings. We really appreciated the hamper on arrival, a really lovely welcome. The location of the apartment was brilliant, central to everything in Dawlish and a perfect location for exploring South Devon.

Beautifully appointed two bed/two bath flat

Flat is just perfect. Location was ideal for public transport (bus and trains) which we used to get to other beaches. However, constant noise of traffic (especially motorbikes at the weekend), buses and people gathering right outside, noise of trains, and rebuilding of sea wall (which we thought had been done). Sometimes work on the sea wall started in the early evening just when everything else was quietening down. It was hot during our stay so we wanted windows open, but outside noise meant with open windows we sometimes couldn’t hear one another talking in the lounge/kitchen or hear the TV. Such a shame about the noise, but we went out as much as possible as the area is lovely.

Great Apartment

This was a fab little break for us on the south coast. From booking to arrival it was hassle free, great communication via text from the owner who was very helpful. The apartment was spacious and comfortable and a great base for us to go off walking and exploring the towns along the coast. Dawlish is a quiet little town but with a few nice pubs, restaurants and lots of ducks to feed, it was easy to find things to do when we did stay close, including watching the odd movie or two in that apartment. Lovely little break for us made all the better due to the great accommodation and ease of the whole experience.

This was the perfect stay, beautiful apartment. Has everything you need to make your stay feel like you have not left home, with the added bonus of having the coast so close you can open the windows and hear the waves breaking. Train station less than a 3 min very gentle stroll. Dawlish has some lovely cafe style restaurants, and Tea rooms. If your looking for a relaxing break you won't go far wrong with staying at Jo & Andrews beautiful apartment, already looking for dates for next year. Thank you Mark & Trish.

I would highly recommend staying at this property. It is extremely well furnished with a full kitchen and all the equipment you could need. The living area is very comfortable with sea views. There is also plenty of room for dining. Both bedrooms very nicely decorated with very comfortable beds. The showers and bathrooms are really good.

Ideal location

The flat was spacious and clean with everything we needed for a short break. It’s location is ideal for exploring the local area. The information pack from the owners was very useful with lots of helpful tips. We decided not to park in the lay-by outside to unload our cases as buses stop there so we used the railway station car park and paid using the app (again a useful tip from the owners).

About the host

Hosted by Andrew & Jo Winson

Host profile image
We live in Wiltshire and use this property as our holiday home for us and our 4 boys. We have spent a long time refurbishing this property to get it to the standard we expect in a holiday home including decent beds! Being only a short distance from Exeter it is really quick to get to if we fancy a weekend away.

Why they chose this property

What we love about this property is it has everything you need within a very short walk. You can play on the beach or simply look out the window at the sea. There is full facilities to cook as you would at home, but with such a range of take-aways and restaurants around, you don't need to. There is also a micro-climate in Dawlish which means it is generally warmer than the rest of the UK, I suspect it is due to it being protected by the hills. The only time you get bad weather is if it comes in off the sea, and then it is spectacular!

What makes this property unique

We were down on a hot bank holiday Monday playing on a half empty beach to get back and find that on other beaches there was standing room only!!
With the train station being a short level walk away we are happy for our teenage boys to come an join us later or leave early via the train, which means they can come away with us but still get back for events they have planned.
