Resting in the charming seaside town of Dawlish, Devon is Old Town House, a pretty three-storey cottage offering a sought-after designated parking space and a delightful courtyard perfect for spending the summer months in. With local amenities and a beautiful sandy beach within walking distance from the doorstop of the cottage, Old Town House is ideal for friends and families alike to explore the stunning southern coast. Stepping into the cottage, the open-plan living space invites you in. Sure to be the social hub throughout your trip, the space offers a well-equipped kitchen, a dining area and a sitting area. Rustle up delicious meals for your group in the kitchen, fit with an electric oven and hob, along with a handy dishwasher to help with the cleanup and a washing machine so you can freshen up your clothes. From here, gather as a family to eat your meals at the dining table; the stylish table offers a bench, perfect for getting cosy while you catch up on the day's events. Snuggle up on the plush corner sofa with your loved ones and flick on the TV to relax and unwind for the evening after an adventurous day out. When sleep calls, head upstairs to the bedrooms for some well-deserved rest; the first floor is home to two bedrooms, a double and a single with a truckle bed, perfect for the younger members of your group, each decorated with a light and airy décor. Also on the first floor is a family shower room with a walk-in shower, a basin and WC where the group can prepare for the day ahead. Climb the stairs to the second floor, where the final bedroom rests; the bedroom is home to a handmade, wooden king-size bed and plenty of storage to unpack your belongings in this home away from home, along with character beams adding to the charm of the cottage. Back on the ground floor, take advantage of the outdoor space in the summer evenings. Treat your group to a meal out in one of the local restaurants for dinner; Pizza Palos is within walking distance, as well as a good selection of cuisines such as Gurkha Restaurant for Nepalese food, or perhaps pick up a traditional fish and chip supper from Rock'n'Sole. Spend your days wandering the lovely sandy beach, building sandcastles and paddling in the shores. There is an abundance of peaceful walking routes you can take from the doorstep of the dwelling including the picture-perfect dunes and grassland at the Dawlish Warren Nature Reserve. If you are travelling with younger guests, why not spend an afternoon at Pavilion Amusements, a traditional amusement park with arcade games and an over 18s casino-style area for the adults. Further afield, venture into the city of Exeter and discover the magnificent Exeter Cathedral. The city also plays host to a fantastic array of shops, pubs, restaurants and cafés to fuel your excursions. Animal lovers of the group will love a day at Paignton Zoo, which is a scenic drive away where you can explore a world of exotic species. Paignton is also home to another exquisite beach and a quality golf course so there is something for the whole family. Choose Old Town House for fantastic family holiday to Devon.
