“The perfect BNB”

Went here for a trip away with my Mum to celebrate our birthdays which are in the coming weeks. The hotel is situated in the perfect location, a stone’s throw away from both the beach, train station, bus links and an arcade across the way. The staff are fantastic, so accommodating who can’t do enough for you. I sometimes avoid paying for ‘breakfast included’ deals as I don’t always feel it’s worth the money but this wasn’t the case at all, the portions were huge, cooked to perfection and clearly done fresh. My mum who is a pescatarian had plenty of options and even enjoyed the veggie sausages. The rooms are spacious, clean and have been decorated beautifully, the sea view was just another bonus! If you are looking for somewhere to stay in the area that will add something special to your holiday you’ve found it! We will be coming back! Thank you!xx

“You'll want to go back even before you leave.”

Booked a 2 night break as a surprise for my wonderful husband. The Blenheim is perfectly positioned in Dawlish. I'm disabled but really wanted a sea view and they were almost full, so we had room 9, Seascape on the 2nd floor. Beautiful room but when we go again it'll have to be on the ground floor… Mais

Booked a 2 night break as a surprise for my wonderful husband. The Blenheim is perfectly positioned in Dawlish. I'm disabled but really wanted a sea view and they were almost full, so we had room 9, Seascape on the 2nd floor. Beautiful room but when we go again it'll have to be on the ground floor as the stairs were too much for me. That didn't upset our stay. Seascape is a huge room, with unspoilt views of the sea and the tow. Kitchenette with microwave, toaster, fridge, kettle, coffee and tea etc. There's a dining table and a sofa and the bed is huge and so very comfortable. Decor is beautifully subtle. The ensuite shower room is compact and even my husband struggled getting into the shower as it's of the style where doors don't open very wide. It has everything you need though and The Blenheim is a very old building so it's great how they have used the space. Breakfast choices are a wow. First day we had the large English. It is huge - don't attempt it unless you have a great appetite. 2nd day we had the light bite breakfast and we couldn't manage any toast after that. Great views from the breakfast room too. Fruit juices to help yourself to, cereals, cereal bars, fruit, youghurt, granola too. The Blenheim is immaculate staff are lovely and once we parked we didn't use the car again until we went home. Just a word of warning: if you're a light sleeper be aware, the train line is right next to the room and trains run from 5am until 1am and they run roughly every 5 minutes. It didn't disturb us as the bed is so comfy we were quickly asleep. All in all a fantastic 2 night stay and we're definitely going back to The Blenheim.

“Ruined by building work ”

We booked a relaxing long weekend, both having stressful jobs....but that's not what we got. We paid for a room with a balcony but were unable to use it on the Friday due to dreadful building noise next door. Constant drilling, angle grinding, radio blaring out and foul language from the workmen. I… Mais

We booked a relaxing long weekend, both having stressful jobs....but that's not what we got. We paid for a room with a balcony but were unable to use it on the Friday due to dreadful building noise next door. Constant drilling, angle grinding, radio blaring out and foul language from the workmen. It completely ruined our first afternoon. It went on until 6.30pm, which is actually against the law! When I texted the owner all I got was 'i don't think they work weekends, and the sun is shining' We should be entitled to a nights refund!! We left a day early as we couldn't face waking up on the Monday to more of the same disturbance. We never even saw the owner to discuss, which I thought was frankly quite rude
