Hotels in Dawlish

The very different faces of Dawlish and neighbouring Teignmouth make for an unlikely alliance: one is well spoken and delicately nibbles on scones piled high with cream and jam, while the other chomps on sweets and begs for a good time with the kiss-me-quick brigade.

Whether you opt for a Dawlish hotel or a stay in Teignmouth, the delights of Devon are only moments away...

Mere minutes separate the two towns and holidaymakers find charms in both of these pleasant destinations in Devon, on Britain's south coast.

Dawlish is the refined Regency town, where cream teas and a picnic on The Lawn – the town's verdant parkland heart – are obligatory.

Teignmouth, just minutes along the coast, also features fine Georgian and Victorian buildings and is steeped in maritime history, but the town has also retained the classic image of a British seaside resort, with a pier packed with amusements, fish and chip shops, and souvenir shops dotting the sea front.

Hotels in Dawlish and Teignmouth are quite similar in style and price, and the pleasures of the coast can be easily reached...

A range of Teignmouth hotels can be found within minutes of the sea, and accommodation types include B&Bs, self-catering holiday parks and small hotels with good amenities.

Top five attractions

Coryton Cove

Straight out of the pages of an Enid Blyton book, the secluded beach at Coryton Cove features multi-coloured beach huts, steep cliffs and a working railway track, on which trains occasionally chug by.

Dawlish Warren

When you get bored of the sand and shingles of Dawlish and Teignmouth, head to the mud flats of Dawlish Warren to meet the local friendly birds and a diverse range of wildlife.

Jurassic Coast

On a clear day, you can gaze across the bay towards the Jurassic Coast. This ancient and fossil-rich stretch of coast ends in nearby Exmouth, but a quick journey will enable exploration and fossil hunting.
