  • "Lovely chalet in a good location on a pleasant site."

    Totally exceeded expectations. Clean and had all we needed for a great stay. I can imagine it would be a squeeze with six people but as there was only three of us it was more than adequate. The message to say it was ready to get into early than the stated time was a real bonus and I wish more places did that. Definitely book Dolphin Chalet again. Thank you.

  • "Chalet was very well equipped tea towels and washing up liquid and bin bags were provided."

    I just wished the towels provided were bigger. and the hospitality tray and the milk was a lovely thought. The chalet is well placed near the swimming pool, club house and children’s playground. This does mean however in the double bedroom you can hear the entertainment at night. The chalet was very clean but did smell badly of dog downstairs, I think it was the carpet. Lesson learned though don’t stay in accommodation that accepts dogs unless you have one yourself.

    It was perfect for our stay. The welcome pack of tea, coffee, milk, biscuits, etc was very much appreciated. We would definitely stay there again without hesitation.

  • "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.

  • "The chalet was as described, clean, well maintained, well equipped."

    The location was good for beach access and other facilities available in the holiday park. One disappointment was the holiday parks discrimination against the 'private' owners, insofar private residents were prevented from accessing the clubhouse until after 21:00. with four children, aged five to thirteen, this was a inconvenience.

  • "Beautiful chalet spotlessly clean."

    Maintained to a very high standard. Very spacious and luxurious.loved the you leave everything you need in your chalet where else where there’s nothing in other chalets. I would go so to say best I’ve ever stayed in. I cannot thank you enough.

  • "Giles and his team have a well maintained and clean home We enjoyed the stay and our grandchildren were safe and liked the cottage."

    The kitchen area was ideal for us with four children under 11. Storage is at a premium upstairs and our double room was very cramped. Our double bed had a small duvet that made things a bit uncomfortable. The bathroom could do with more shelves etc We were disappointed that we were banded from the children’s entertainment. The reason the resort told us was because this was a private hire

  • "Lovely location but for a dog friendly chalet it would be great if there was an enclosed space for dogs to run around outside."

    Chalet was very welcoming with tea, coffee and milk on arrival, fresh towels were also provided. A short walk to the beach and dogs are allowed in specific areas. Will definitely book again.

  • "When I booked I asked for a single bed and the double bed to be made up as my friend and 1 do not sleep together this was not done and I had to get the owner to come from his home some 10 miles away to make up the single bed in the 2nd bedroom."

    I also asked about the club on the site which is near the chalet and was told it closed at 11 pm this did not happen every night the music etc went on till midnight and by the time the guests left and went back to their accommodation it resulted in us going a whole week with no proper sleep till 1 am.. I have complained and am awaiting a call from Anna. The chalet itself was spotless and well equipped the only thing wrong with the holiday was Sykes giving me wrong information about the club and not telling the owner about my request for a single bed to be made up as well as the double bed.

About the location

DAWLISH WARREN

Dartmoor 13 miles; Exeter 11 miles; Teignmouth 5 miles; Dawlish 2 miles.

A couple of miles north east of the town of Dawlish is Dawlish Warren, a mile-long sand beach at the mouth of the River Exe on the stretch of south Devon coastline known as the English Riviera. Dawlish Warren has a selection of shops selling essentials, a golf course and a 55-acre nature reserve, an area of international importance for wildlife, and a roosting site for huge numbers of wading birds and wildfowl that winter on the estuary. The Nature Reserve is also home to more than 450 species of flowering plants including the rare Warren or Sand Crocus. Guided tours around the Reserve are available in the summer season. The beach at Dawlish Warren is a sandy Blue Flag beach backed by sand dunes and small lakes and stretches for miles to reach the Exe Estuary in one direction and Dawlish town in the other. A safe beach, lifeguarded in summer, provides a perfect place for seaside fun, and has many free, open-air events, children's entertainers and spectacular firework and air displays during the summer season. Dawlish Warren has a railway station on the Exeter to Newton Abbot line, one of the most scenic railway journeys in the country. Nearby there is much to occupy the visitor along the English Riviera coastline including Paignton Zoo, the Dartmouth Steam Railway, the picturesque fishing harbour of Brixham and the long pier and promenade at Teignmouth. A typically English seaside resort, great for family holidays at any time of year.
