Jubilee Cottage

Jubilee Cottage sits in the centre of Dawlish, a town known for its sandy beach and coastal paths. The house features two bedrooms on the first floor, one with a kingsize bed and the other with a zip-and-link super kingsize that can convert to twins. Both rooms include dressing tables, wardrobes, and smart TVs for evening relaxation.

The ground floor holds a living room with another smart TV, plus a kitchen equipped with an electric oven, hob, microwave, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, and coffee machine. A dining table seats four, and the space opens to a small enclosed courtyard with seating, ideal for outdoor moments.

The property welcomes dogs and children, offering extras like throws for sofas, beach towels, games, books, and puzzles. On arrival, guests often find tea, coffee, milk, and treats, including options for pets. A travel cot, highchair, and stairgate are available, along with essentials such as bed linen and towels.

Wi-Fi covers the house, and gas central heating keeps things cosy year-round. Two steps lead to the entrance, and the courtyard has a couple more, but the layout suits most visitors.

Dawlish itself offers plenty to explore on foot. The beach lies a short walk away, with rock pools and space for swims or sandcastles. The Southwest Coast Path runs in both directions from town, leading to Dawlish Warren’s nature reserve and estuary on one side, or Teignmouth’s promenade and pier on the other.

Along Dawlish Water, paths follow the river through gardens. Shops, cafes, pubs, and takeaways cluster nearby, alongside a theatre and crazy golf course. For trips further afield, the railway station is close, connecting to Exeter, Paignton, or Plymouth with scenic views along the coast.

Boat hires or trips operate from the area, and Haldon Hills Forest Park provides trails for walks or cycles just a drive away. Beaches like those in the South Hams, including Blackpool Sands, reward a day’s outing.

Parking involves on-street spots or a nearby public car park, but the central position means many guests leave the car unused. The house avoids smoking indoors, and the courtyard provides a secure spot for pets.

The place rates highly with many reviews, where guests highlight the cleanliness, thoughtful touches like welcome packs, and convenient location for beach access and town amenities. Comments praise the comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen, and homely feel, with several noting quick responses from the host. Dog owners appreciate the treats and safe courtyard, while families value the child-friendly setup. A few mention successful stays despite variable weather, using the indoor games and TVs.
