The Good Space: Creative Coworking Hub in Dawlish

A welcoming coworking venue in Dawlish blends professional workspace with community activities, ideal for independent workers seeking an alternative to home offices. The Good Space, on Exeter Road, provides flexible facilities in a thoughtfully renovated former warehouse.

Three local freelance designers – Amy Beech, Kate Huggard, and Amy Walker – established the venue. They transformed a two-floor unit into an airy environment featuring soft peach walls, abundant natural light, houseplants, and artwork by regional creators. Upstairs accommodates eleven spacious desks beneath high ceilings, while the ground floor centres on a large communal table suited to meetings and gatherings.

The layout supports varied work styles. Desks offer reliable high-speed internet and ergonomic seating, fostering focused individual tasks.

Shared areas encourage informal exchanges among users, who include freelancers, remote professionals, and small business operators from creative fields. A self-service beverage station adds convenience.

Beyond daily coworking, the venue functions as a multipurpose site. It hosts workshops in crafts and skills, wellness sessions such as yoga, and networking gatherings. The adaptable rooms allow hiring for private functions, enabling local groups to organise classes or talks.

Integration into broader networks enhances its role. As part of Devon’s expanding work hubs, it connects users to similar spaces countywide, promoting collaboration among independent workers.
