About this property
This contemporary, semi-detached holiday home of Sail Loft rests in a quiet, gated estate on the fringes of Dawlish, Devon. A superb base for a family getaway to the coast, Sail Loft enjoys access to a shaded walk that takes guests down to the estate's secluded beach, you can stop along the way at the shared dining area to take in the sea views. The property also offers access to a handy private parking space with additional on-street parking; Dawlish's railway station also rests moments away, for added convenience. Make your way inside to be dazzled by the open-plan living space's gorgeous interiors with bi-fold doors bringing the outside in; sink back into the sitting area's seating and switching on the TV for a spot of evening entertainment with your loved ones. When you're feeling peckish, make your way over to the kitchen with its integrated appliances adding to its already sleek feel; the chef of the family will have a ball whipping up tasty treats here, courtesy of the wealth of appliances available. The utility is just off the kitchen, which not only hosts laundry facilities, but an additional fridge, where you can grab your favourite tipple to enjoy with your meals. These delicious meals can be enjoyed at the dining area with breakfast bar or out on the enclosed front patio amidst the coastal breeze. Climb up the glass-balustraded staircase to come across three fabulous bedrooms, the first being the master with a super-king-size bed, enviable sea views and access to a superb, marble-detailed en-suite shower room; the latter pair of bedrooms comprise a tasteful king-size and a twin room, which can be pushed together to form a super-king-size, giving you flexibility when it comes to your sleeping arrangements. Completing the property's accommodation is an impressive bathroom, where soothing soaks can be enjoyed in the bath with rainfall shower. After unwinding on the beach, why not pop into The Castle Inn for a bite to eat or visit the nearby Oaklands Park for a sunny picnic? Make your way into the centre of Dawlish, where more delights await, including the idyllic Dawlish Town Beach, the lush plains of Dawlish Lawn, along with a range of eateries and shops with plenty to offer. If you've come to explore the renowned South West Coastal Path, Sail Loft has direct access, so be sure to pack a picnic and enjoy spectacular scenes along the way. Teignmouth is a short drive way, a town featuring a range of beaches, along with the vibrant Teignmouth Arts Quarter and access via boat to the adjacent, unspoilt village of Shaldon.

The property is exactly like the photos and was spotlessly clean. Great kitchen facilities with everything you need should you choose to dine in (as we did) and easy to follow appliance instructions. Big beds which were super comfy and inviting, providing a great nights sleep with blackout blinds. The owner information pack was extremely useful and accurate as was the information we received from the owners prior to arrival. We really enjoyed relaxing in the tropical garden when the sun allowed, itâs a real sun trap! Had a lovely time on the estates beach, very private and quiet with lovely views from the seating at the cliff top. Great location for exploring Devon, had some great walks on the south west coastal path, which was on the doorstep, and would recommend The Ness at Sheldon for food and views (an hours walk, fab.) We had a great time at Sail Loft and would love to stay again and would definitely highly recommend! We loved it!

The photos were deceptive, had to walk through the front garden to the house which is the only area to sit, we did have a nice time but things could be improved there needs to be either vertical blinds, net curtains or privacy film put on windows as there is no privacy in bedrooms if you wish to relax with the blinds up especially the master bedroom and the bedroom facing the main road. The master bedroom was right by the gated entrance so be aware you will need the blinds down most of the time. The kitchen was OK but needed sharper knives for cooking and tongs, everything was quite high which if your vertically challenged may be a issue. The welcome pack should have all appliance instructions which is usually supplied in every house we have been to, it says everything is self explanatory but not really we had to Google how to use the ovens. Beds and pillows very soft so maybe have a couple of firmer ones to give people a choice. According to your website listing it looks like the private seating area overlooked sea is part of the house which it is not, it is on part of the walk to the private beach which if you have mobility issues is not easy to get to, you have to walk downalot of very steep steps then under the railway, when you get to the other side its abit overgrown I don't think going down and back up will be easy if your carrying beach stuff with you, also there is building work going on at the estate because of the cliff workers which isn't listed. Lovely walk along coastal path to dawlish but steep coming back up though the views make up for it. All in all we had a nice time I'm just being picky but think slight improvements would help other people.

The house is very comfortable and the location is quiet The beach was fun and empty every time we visited, although this may be due to the "summer weather". Had a very minor issue that was very quickly attended to - could not ask for better response. Dawlish is a good 10-15 minute walk away, although its all up hill on the way back! Really enjoyed our stay and would be happy to recommend
