  An excellent choice for an escape to the south Devon coast.

  St Julien does exactly what it says on the listing and the views of the sea from the open plan living space really is quite wow. As a low-level train enthusiast, hearing them rumble away quietly in the distance making their way towards Exeter or further west was a treat! The apartment was clean and welcoming, as was Maggie the owner downstairs who was on hand with a text if necessary but who allowed us to enjoy our time in her space. Situated within a 5 minute walk from a Premier, a short drive from a Sainsburys or a 12-15 minute walk from black swan haven of Dawlish town centre and its train station, St Julien was also located right alongside a bus stop, where the No.2 Stagecoach could take you towards Newton Abbot or up to Exeter for just £2 each one-way. So my wife and I ended us using the buses and trains all week to explore the south coast and left the car in the neat and comfy parking bay outside the entrance. Everything in the apartment worked easily - a good shower, an easy to use Smart TV and a basic but fully operable kitchenette that did the job. Excellent and most certainly recommended for couples or solo travellers looking for a comfy, welcoming, well connected base from which to explore Devon and beyond. A big Welsh 'Diolch' to Maggie for her hospitality and warm welcome.

  This apartment is incredible and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

  Despite it being on a busy road and with the train track in front it really was not noisy. Great location as you are just outside of the main town but it’s a few minutes walk and you are in the heart of it. I don’t drive so it was an ideal location you can hop straight on the train. The bus stops are literally just outside also. The contact I had with Maggie was great, just the right amount to let me know if I had a problem I could reach out and she’d help but not at all intrusive. Finally I have to mention the most important thing…..the view! I happily sat for hours staring out to sea it was incredibly relaxing. When I first went into the apartment I wasn’t sure about the scope being there but it turns out it’s great fun and also quite relaxing, who knew! I would happily stay here again it was amazing the only thing to bear in mind is most places in Dawlish seemed to close at 4pm but you get the hang of the slower pace of life quite quickly.

  The apartment, was spacious, well furnished, well stocked ,with kitchen equipment, towels, hand wash in each bathroom, and kitchen.

  A nice Sony TV, an assorted collection of DVDs, for all ages, comfortable sofas, and armchairs, made the evenings enjoyable ! The front windows, facing the balcony, are in need of a little planning, to enable them to be fully closed, it was difficult to engage the catches, which eventually will become detached, and are very draughty ! The electrical socket, in the middle bedroom, supplying power to the 'Wi-Fi', is loose on the wall, and the other, in the 'Dining Room', although secure to the wall, is missing a screw, to the 'Front Plate', making it loose, also, when operating the 'Glen' heater, the plug becomes hot ! These issues aside, we had a very happy time at 'Clarendon House', a mixture of, old rustic charm, with modern facilities ! Had the weather been warmer, evenings could have been spent, on the balcony, fully enjoying the setting sun ! But hey, one can't book the weather ! We would consider, booking again !

  From entering the site, it was immaculate, the ground staff did a great job and the site was very professional but family friendly.

  The chalet was also immaculate, great work by the cleaning staff. It was a home away from home and had everything you could need, down to the smallest of items, the pint of milk and mince pies was a lovely touch. It came across as a multi million pound business but run by a family. It matched everything places like travellodge and premier Inn have to offer but with much more. The personal touches made the holiday so much nicer, even down to emails from a real person with a mobile phone number. I would highly recommend this place to anyone staying in the area and myself and my wife want to say a personal thankyou for making our holiday awesome. We look forward to many more years of visits.

  We had a lovely time at The Old Post Office, everything was as listed .

  Owners very helpful. Parking is on the road as advised , and only on arrival did we judge it wrong after that there was no issues . We didn’t want to impede on residents spaces so parked further up the hill to allow passing traffic. Neighbours very friendly and everyone passed the time if day . There is a book that advises if different places to go to which was helpful. It’s in a beautiful location , Teignmouth is lovely , we ventured out everywhere but always at the end if the day ended back in Teignmouth for a walk along the sea front and of course the obligatory ice cream. We would return as there is still more to see and do
