"Pilchard cottage is comfortably and tastefully decorated and furnished."
Bedding and towels are of excellent quality. The owners have thought about everything you might need in a self catering g property. The kitchen is comprehensively equipped and basic condiments and cleaning essentials are provided. There is Equipment for babies and toddlers. The dog friendly facilities are superb. Generous sized dog towels, bowls and mats a warm shower in the courtyard and a portable shower and shampoo for mucky walks. The welcome basket had a nice mix of treats and essentials, such as milk tea and coffee. Location is great,easy walking to the beach and town, with some nice independent shops, such as Baker, butcher, greengrocer.
Thank you for your wonderful review! It’s lovely to hear you enjoyed your stay and had everything you needed for a comfortable break, we hope your dogs had a great holiday too!

"Who wouldn’t enjoy a lovely stay at Pilchard Cottage in Dawlish?"
Everything has been so tastefully done and the thought and detail that has gone into the cottage is amazing. The history of the cottage is really enhanced by the wonderful nautical themed art in every room adding to the seaside ambience. So much work has been done to make anyone’s holiday a luxury. From the gorgeous fireplace to the delicious treats to the extensive gadgets in the kitchen all made for a throughly enjoyable time away. The dog treats, bowls, extra leads, dog towels, shampoo and most of all the hot doggy shower outside were all so thoughtful and kept the pooches pampered. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for such a lovely review! We are so pleased you and your doggies had a lovely stay in Dawlish. It is wonderful to hear that you found all the additional features useful, we strive to make Pilchard Cottage feel like a home from home.

"We spent a week in Pilchard Cottage and, oh wow, I'm pretty sure that it raised the bar for all the holiday homes to come."
It's warm, it's cozy, it's lovingly furnished & decorated (loved the mouse lamps in the dining room) and the owners are extremely helpful and friendly. You have literally everything you need and a lot more, especially the extremely well-equipped kitchen deserves a special mention. (Not that you will need it though, there's plenty of restaurants in Dawlish so no need for cooking.)
Thanks for a wonderful time!
We are absolutely thrilled you had a great holiday at Pilchard Cottage, thank you so much for such lovely feedback. The mouse lamps in the book case are a particular favourite of mine too! We'd love to welcome you back to Dawlish again, next time you visit the UK.

As soon as we walked through the door it was very welcoming and just felt right at home. The owners had put grab handles in which is brilliant for those who need a little help.

We will definitely be back again and will have a longer stay next time.

"Pilchard Cottage is lovely, furnished and equipped to a very high standard like a home rather than a holiday cottage."
The owners have thought of everything and were in touch before our visit with information. There is a wealth of info at the cottage along with books, puzzles, colouring books and crayons, dressing gowns and two electric fans (very useful last week when the nights were warm). The welcome basket was lovely and we were able to take advantage of a parking space outside the cottage door and a parking permit supplied for a nearby carpark. A five star experience!

"Pilchard Cottage is a superb place to stay, from the moment we set foot inside we felt at home."
The attention to detail from the lovely fluffy bath robes to the fully equipped kitchen with the many added extras left us wanting for nothing. I have to say I have never slept so well as I did here. Ideally located in the town with a very short walk to the train station if you want to explore Devon further afield.
Extensive information was left regarding the cottage and things to do in the surrounding areas. The welcome hamper was a lovely surprise.
The owners are clearly very passionate about giving their guests a wonderful holiday experience. Two very happy customers.

"This is a beautiful property and I can see the thought love and utmost care that has been put into it."
It’s immaculate and tastefully designed with lovely little details. The dressing gown provided was much appreciated as was the very generous welcome basket.
Parking can be an issue however there is a car park near by and it wouldn’t put me off booking again.
Just a suggestion I would have liked a bath sheet to wrap up in after a relaxing shower. Had a lovely stay thank you.
Thank you for your wonderful review, it’s lovely to hear you enjoyed your holiday.
We aim to provide a comfortable and luxurious experience for all of our guests, so I will replace the towels with bath sheets during our next changeover. Thank you very much for your suggested improvement. We'd love to welcome you back again in the future.
Update 16/07/2024 - We have just purchased a car parking permit for our guests to use during their stay (free of charge) in the local long stay car park.
There is also free and unrestricted car parking outside Pilchard Cottage, however due to the proximity of the cottage to the shops and beach these spaces are extremely popular!

"We have been regularly using Sykes for nearly fifteen years and Pilchard Cottage is definitely one of the best we’ve stayed in."
Everything was done to a really high spec and the owners had gone out their way to provide extra things to make the stay special, like personalised recommendations of what events were on the week we were there and providing colouring books/ crayons for the kids.
The cottage is in the middle of Dawlish town centre, so is handy for shops and restaurants, plus the SW Coastal Path, if you want to do walks. The only slight downside to it being in a central location is that it isn’t easy to park directly outside the cottage, however, we did find a spot in neighbouring streets quite quickly.
Overall, we had a brilliant week staying in the cottage and we would definitely stay there again or recommend it to friends and family.
