    “We are just back from a wonderful week at the Sail Loft and have already recommended it to our friends!”

    A wonderful, modern, clean and comfortable accommodation, well appointed with everything you will need for a fantastic week by the Devon coast. The spacious property has a wonderful open planned living arrangement downstairs, the kitchen had everything we needed and more, there's even an air fryer if that's your thing! High end appliances and an induction hob made cooking for our family enjoyable, the laundry room with extra fridge was a massive bonus, meaning we could keep all of those ...

    A wonderful, modern, clean and comfortable accommodation, well appointed with everything you will need for a fantastic week by the Devon coast. The spacious property has a wonderful open planned living arrangement downstairs, the kitchen had everything we needed and more, there's even an air fryer if that's your thing! High end appliances and an induction hob made cooking for our family enjoyable, the laundry room with extra fridge was a massive bonus, meaning we could keep all of those extra drinks cool and get some washing done mid-week to reduce the load when we got home! Many comfortable evenings were spent in the lounge after enjoying dinner at the table inside or dining al-fresco at the table in the courtyard garden, the kids (7 & 13) had their choice of films and programs, not that we spent much time watching TV as they all loved spending time at the private beach! The beach is a 10 minute walk down the private coastal path and through a small wooded area, landing us on the lovely red sand and shingle beach (The stairs are steep but well maintained with a hand rail and lots of spots to stop to take in the view or to take a breather when going back up!!) We all loved spending time at the beach which we had to ourselves most days, picnic lunches, BBQ’s and a glass of wine, while the kids explored the cove and swam in the sea. Venturing further afield, Dawlish was a 15-20 minute walk, we went via the coastal path and through the park areas, again the kids loved exploring the beach and piers, we even saw a steam train coming through on Brunel's railway! After a morning of fun, we headed up through the central park area, where we spotted the famous black swans and saw the duck hatchery, my youngest fell in love with the baby ducks and wanted to bring one home! Instead we settled for treats from Gay's Creamery, and enjoyed a wonderful Devon Cream tea on the banks of the stream. There were lots of places to eat and traditional fish and chips shops too. We also headed into Teignmouth and Dawlish Warren, both were a little further so we opted to drive, Teignmouth is a lovely seaside town, with old pubs and great bakeries serving traditional Devon Pasties, something we had to do, purchased and eaten while looking out over the estuary. Dawlish Warren was popular with our eldest, funfair rides and amusements! We were pleasantly surprised around the cost of the rides - 1 token per ride and 12 tokens for £20, both children had a great time. After busy days exploring and comfortable evenings, we were welcomed by the lovely bedrooms upstairs, our bed was very comfortable and after lots of fresh air, we slept superbly well, the house was lovely and warm but there were also fans in each bedroom if it got too warm, and nice big windows to let in fresh air, there is a little road noise, but hardly anything at night and it certainly did not disturb us. We cannot recommend the Sail Loft enough, not only is it a beautiful, clean and modern place to stay, there is also plenty to do in close proximity. The icing on the cake is the wonderful communication and friendliness (via text message) of the owners, they assured our stay went well and when we needed to ask a question, they were quick to reply. Our children are already asking to go back and it will certainly be on our list for another visit in the future!

The property

This contemporary, semi-detached holiday home of Sail Loft rests in a quiet, gated estate on the fringes of Dawlish, Devon.

A superb base for a family getaway to the coast, Sail Loft enjoys access to a shaded walk that takes guests down to the estate's secluded beach, you can stop along the way at the shared dining area to take in the sea views.

The property also offers access to a handy private parking space with additional on-street parking; Dawlish's railway station also rests moments away, for added convenience.

Make your way inside to be dazzled by the open-plan living space's gorgeous interiors with bi-fold doors bringing the outside in; sink back into the sitting area's seating and switching on the TV for a spot of evening entertainment with your loved ones.

When you're feeling peckish, make your way over to the kitchen with its integrated appliances adding to its already sleek feel; the chef of the family will have a ball whipping up tasty treats here, courtesy of the wealth of appliances available.

The utility is just off the kitchen, which not only hosts laundry facilities, but an additional fridge, where you can grab your favourite tipple to enjoy with your meals.

These delicious meals can be enjoyed at the dining area with breakfast bar or out on the enclosed front patio amidst the coastal breeze.

Climb up the glass-balustraded staircase to come across three fabulous bedrooms, the first being the master with a super-king-size bed, enviable sea views and access to a superb, marble-detailed en-suite shower room; the latter pair of bedrooms comprise a tasteful king-size and a twin room, which can be pushed together to form a super-king-size, giving you flexibility when it comes to your sleeping arrangements.

Completing the property's accommodation is an impressive bathroom, where soothing soaks can be enjoyed in the bath with rainfall shower.

After unwinding on the beach, why not pop into The Castle Inn for a bite to eat or visit the nearby Oaklands Park for a sunny picnic?

Make your way into the centre of Dawlish, where more delights await, including the idyllic Dawlish Town Beach, the lush plains of Dawlish Lawn, along with a range of eateries and shops with plenty to offer.

If you've come to explore the renowned South West Coastal Path, Sail Loft has direct access, so be sure to pack a picnic and enjoy spectacular scenes along the way.

Teignmouth is a short drive way, a town featuring a range of beaches, along with the vibrant Teignmouth Arts Quarter and access via boat to the adjacent, unspoilt village of Shaldon.

For a day out in the city, pay Exeter a visit, where a wealth of attractions, stunning architecture and landmarks await; alternatively, venture into the outdoor haven of Dartmoor National Park to uncover a range of outdoor activities.

Choose Sail Loft for a marvellous break with those who mean most.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.
