Regular trains also follow this route, said to be one of the most beautiful rail journeys, and for boat lovers, there is a ferry from nearby Starcross to Exmouth.

Leading on through the property, you will find yourself in the kitchen/diner. The kitchen area consists of an electric oven and hob, fridge, dishwasher, microwave, coffee filter machine, Tassimo coffee maker and a small breakfast table, with the dining area offering seating for six guests and a Smart TV.  The washing machine, tumble dryer and a small freezer and fried are located under the stairs.

Excellent, clean comfy cottage. Beautiful gardens. Great for dogs. A little far for me to walk into Dawlish (as I'm recovering from a foot operation), but I hired a mobility scooter from helping hands. (Great). Normally the walk would be no problem. A great base for access around parts of Devon
