Really enjoyed this holiday, the place was outstanding and so peaceful, will definitely recommend, although very disappointed with the massive price hikes for 1922 but I suppose profiteering was on the cards because of the pandemic

Mr Black October 2020

“Little Waycroft exceeded our expectations, the house is spacious with a large on-suite bedroom, plenty of storage, and a very comfortable bed.”

The dining area and kitchen were fully equipped with nearly new white goods and a spotless fitted kitchen. The lounge has a very comfortable reclining settee. The whole house had spotless decorations and everything was extremely clean on our arrival. We received a warm welcome by the owner, and the scones with clotted cream and jam were waiting for us in the fridge, great. We would highly recommend this property and we are already planning to book again for some time in 2021.

- Mr Black, October 2020
Mr Beacham October 2020

“A lovely little bungalow with superb facilities and a very comfortable bed.”

Everything you could need was provided and it was extremely clean and beautifully presented. Very friendly owners who made us feel welcome and were not worried about any queries we had. A good centre for exploring the South Devon coast without being too close! We would definitley visit again.

- Mr Beacham, October 2020
Mrs Green September 2020

“Lovely view friendly owners lovely cottage”

- Mr Joyce, August 2020
Mr King July 2020

“Well we had high expectations that we would be giving the owner glowing feedback having stayed at Little Waycroft before but on the Sunday evening of the second week of our stay they held a family party and with a sizable 1/4 acre plus of land to the side of the cottage you would think the party would not effect us, how wrong we were it seemed that the side of the cottage was a good place to congregate, a group of 5 young men leaning up against the garage door and us enjoying 3 hours of consent banging against it.”

I had too at one point have to ask them to refrain from constantly running/chasing the younger children past my car (the space available where my car was parked was very narrow) of which some apologised and one gave me such a filthy look as if I had no right to challenge. Owner may hopefully look at running this type of party so it doesn't effect the hirer in such away.

- Mr King, July 2020
Mr Brightmore July 2020

“The bungalow/ cottage was 10 mins drive 2 mile to Dawlish very /super clean ,very good well equipped in fact it was so good we booked next June 2021, 7 nights we used train except for2days we used the car .”

Mrs Dewar May 2019

For a one bedroom cottage it was exceptionally spacious and comfortable. The area of Devon in which we stayed was very good for places of interest to visit. I am sure we will return one day.

- Mrs Dewar, May 2019
Mr Askew May 2019

“Little Waycroft is one of the best properties I have ever stayed in.”

Certainly as somewhere for two people it is the most spacious. It is equipped with everything you would need for a week or much longer. It's situation, with views from the rear balcony over open countryside, is wonderful. The owners, Ali and Jamie, are very welcoming and friendly. There is nothing bad I could say about this property and if I visit this part of Devon in the future Little Waycroft will be my number one place to stay.

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 spit 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.
