Great hosts, great views. Home from home .

Muriel “Before arriving I contacted Sue & was filled with the details of how to let ourselves in as she would not be around to meet us.”
Everything was fine in gaining access & the property was spotlessly clean. There was a welcome tray in the kitchen & a bottle of Proseco in the fridge. Wow! The scones, jam & cream were lovely. We could not have asked for more. On our departure day we decided to leave early because of Friday traffic & were not able to say personally how much we had enjoyed our stay at Exe View & to say thank you for everything. So through yourselves please express our gratitude & thanks, we had a lovely week & weather very kind.

Steven “We have had a wonderful time at ly View .”
Dawlish is a lovely place plenty of shops and coffee shops. Sue and Andy met us on arrival and showed us around. The accommodation was spotlessly clean. The cream scones with a bottle of Cava and cider went down a treat. Will differently be returning.

Sonia “A beautifully comfortable base for a holiday.”
We are welcomed by the owner when we arrived . There was a cream tea waiting for us and the house was spotlessly clean . The kitchen had absolutely everything you could possibly need. When the weather was wet we were able to stay in and look out over the sea in comfort.
- Sonia, August 2024 -
Janet “Another perfect stay at Exe View.”
Cannot fault it. It is really like a home from home and I would not hesitate to recommend it. Sue and Andy are friendly, approachable hosts. Used the train more to get around this time. Great to sit back and not use the car
- Janet, August 2024 -
Sue “A lovely property, very comfortable and clean and well maintained.”
Nicely situated close to town centre and also a great base from which to travel to the many local attractions.
- Sue, July 2024 -
Vera “Very comfortable stay.”
Every thing you would need. Local people friendly, as were the owners. Didn’t need to use the car as the local transport good. The town is pretty with a river running through it.
- Vera, July 2024 -
Fiona “Beautiful accommodation equipment with everything you need.”
Stunning view from the balcony and a pretty garden to relax in. Great transport links to explore the rest of the county. Cream tea on arrival supplied by the owners was a lovely touch along with the bottle of Prosecco. This was our second visit and it won’t be our last.

Robert “Every once in a while you find the perfect little Gem, Exe View is that perfect place!”
Immaculately clean, comfortable with amazing views from the balcony. The kitchen is equipped with everything you will need for your stay, and I must say, that this is the first place we have stayed at, were you can take anything from any drawer, cupboards or worktop, find it perfectly clean, and use straight away! Lots of people say that we will be back, we found ourselves wishing we could just stay a little longer. Many thanks to both Sue and Andy. Robert and Elizabeth, Dauntsey, Wiltshire.
- Robert, October 2023 -

Anthony “We were absolutely delighted with our stay at Exe View.”
The owners were very helpful and we cannot recommend them and their property highly enough. However the same cannot be said of Sykes Cottages. We were unable to use the week we originally booked and found Sykes wouldn't refund or change accommodation. We were lucky that the owners and ourselves were able to change the week (the only one available). We found Sykes inflexible and won't use them again. But the accommodation - First Class !!
- Anthony, May 2023 -

Nothing was too much trouble for the owners, Sue and Andy, who made us feel very welcome. We particularly loved the fact that you could explore much of the area without using the car as the beach is so close, there are lots of lovely walks and the coastal train service is amazing. Thanks… we’ve had an amazing holiday !
- Catherine, August 2021 -
Brian “The accomodation made the holiday.”
The only negative is that it should be mentioned on your web site should note that for anyone with walking difficulties the accommodation may not be suitable as it is a steep incline from Dawlish.
- Brian, July 2021 -

The owners live next door and were were helpful and friendly, the accommodation is equipped with everything we could possibly need including treats such as fresh flowers and a Devon cream tea on our arrival. Dawlish, a pleasant small town with most essential shops is a 15 minute walk away, Sainsbury’s supermarket is just a short drive situated on the edge of town. We would highly recommend both Exe View, and Dawlish for a relaxed holiday destination.
- Robert, May 2021 -

They had thought of everything but we were not expecting cream tea awaiting us, wine, milk in the fridge and water and even flowers in the lounge. The accommodation was immaculate and very spacious.

- Janet, April 2021 -

Sue and Andy were very welcoming, and when we arrived, a complimentary bottle of Prosecco and a cream tea was a wonderful surprise. The property was spotless, and very comfortable. There was a large screen TV in the lounge and the bedroom. There was also a comfortable sofa, together with a powered recliner. Location of the cottage was excellent, and access to many interesting locations was within easy reach. If only all holiday cottages were as perfect!

- Lindsay, August 2019 -
Anne “Our stay at Exe View was a truly wonderful experience for us.”
It was incredibly comfortable and our hosts had thought of absolutely everything to make our stay memorable. Not only were we welcomed with a cream tea and a bottle of Prosecco but in addition it was the thoughtfulness of the supply of facilities that lifted it out of the ordinary. Everything from binoculars to books to a cosy rug throw in the sitting room. The place was spotlessly clean and the views were unforgettable. We had the feeling that nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended!
- Anne, August 2019 -

- Graham, July 2019 -
Mark “The holiday cottage was noisier than expected due to the close proximity of the busy main road.”
Thus preventing us from sitting on the balcony or in the garden. Otherwise a good central location with great views and walks.

Spotlessly clean, comfortable and extremely well appointed. The owners, who were very nice, have really thought of everything and added some nice personal touches as well.
