    Absolutely amazing apartment overlooking Babbacombe Bay.Had everything we needed; very large kingsize bed with a very comfy mattress, large walkin shower and compact kitchen. Very close to amenities. Tesco express round the corner, local pubs and cafes plus the Cliff Railway down to Oddicombe Beach. Met the host on arrival; made us very welcome. Its about a 15 minute walk into Torquay. Lots to see and to do down on the harbour. 15/20 minute drive to Paignton and Brixham lovely little harbour towns. Went to Teignmouth which was beautiful. Overall a brilliant stay. Would definitely recommend it and will be returning.

    I had a fabulous week staying at The Dawn. All I needed to make it a special week was easily accessible. Tony and his family were very helpful in ensuring I was updated on places to visit to meet my needs.

    We enjoyed our stay very much.Unfortunately there were some heavy footed people above us, the floorboards were very squeaky.We would recommend a bath mat in the shower.Otherwise everything fine.
