We went to Dawlish for a long weekend without the car. This hotel is perfectly and beautifully situated. The room we had overlooks the main Exeter to West of England railway line along the sea wall and the sea itself with a small access road in between. We travelled from home in Sussex by train to Dawlish station from where the hotel is about a three minute walk. There are shops nearby and restaurants too, though limited choice of opening when we were there in the last days of October. Not to worry though, there’s easy access to Teignmouth with a larger choice of restaurants and shops. Teignmouth is only a five minute train ride away and regular trains throughout the day and late into the evening. There are plenty of trains to Exeter St.David’s taking around 12-15 minutes as well as the opportunity to travel by train up and down both sides of the River Exe on one train all the way to Exemouth. And finally there are direct trains to Exeter Central (for the town centre) and to Plymouth. Our room was large with a window overlooking central Dawlish and the station and the huge French windows onto the balcony with the railway and sea view. For a Rail Enthusiast such as myself, the room is perfect for getting photographs and videos of trains travelling to and from the West Country. There’s a little kitchenette area in the room where it’s possible to prepare light meals with the use of a microwave, it’s also has a fridge. The double bed is large and very comfortable. We slept well. The staff are wonderful, so friendly, very helpful and courteous. And for us, they went out of their way to help us with a planned day out. We wanted to travel down to Penzance on the train and intended to leave early, before they served breakfast. As there would be no shops open and there’s no buffet facilities at the station, we would’ve had to wait until Penzance for breakfast, not ideal really. So we spoke to the ladies at the hotel and they arranged breakfast to be left in our fridge and on trays in our kitchenette. A large coffee cafetière with some ground coffee, microwave porridge, bananas and cereals were left for us. We were able to have breakfast and take coffee and cereal bars with us to enjoy on the train ride down to Penzance. That’s what I call service going the extra mile. Normal breakfast is superb and freshly cooked to order, with quite a few choices including a large and small full English. It’s served in a clean, bright airy room overlooking the railway, sea/sea wall and central Dawlish.

Just returned from a lovely 4 days at The Blenheim, we have been numerous times before and always stay in The Anchor Room. The room is lovely with everything you need for 2 people including a fridge. Great views from the room. Very clean as well. Breakfast is fantastic with a brilliant choice, something to suit everyone with everything cooked to order. Will definitely be back, well done to you all.

Amazing place , wouldn't stay anywhere else. Spotless comfortable rooms fantastic friendly and very welcoming staff , nothing is to much trouble . Fantastic freshly cooked breakfasts with a great choice . The rooms all have TVs with Dvd player , kitchenette area and comfortable beds most with sea views. Really can't fault the place.

One of the most fantastic hotels we’ve ever stayed in, we were in the room Anchor Point which had the most wonderful sea views with floor to ceiling windows which opened onto a balcony, very comfortable bed, amazing English breakfast, all cooked very fresh, I had the French toast one morning with fresh berries which was fantastic, very easy check in and staff so friendly and helpful, we will definitely stay again.

Ali, Lisa and Jess are the best they make you feel so welcome that is why we love it so much that is why we are back yet again for the excellent views from the room (Anchor Point) and the view of the railway for a great bit of train spotting... the breakfast is to die for....

The experience of a long weekend stay, was amazing from start to finish. Dawlish has always been a special place, and was fortunate to live in the town from 2016-2020. So choosing The Blenheim for a long weekend stay, was a must. On entrance, i was so impressed by the decor and furnishing on the ground floor, all the way up to our first floor room. We chose "The Brunel" on the 1st floor, which on entry, you are immediately impressed by the large windows. With views towards the town, plus the balcony window overlooking the sea wall, it ticks all boxes. The room decor is very nicely furnished, comfortable , clean. It was certainly a room we were keen to spend time in, admiring the views, people watching and train spotting! Breakfast is served on the ground floor, where you can help yourself to juices, cereals, yogurts etc. A great selection of hot breakfast's are on the menu to order, along with your tea and coffee. Breakfast time is when you really get the opportunity to engage with the amazing team that make your stay feel so welcoming. Clearly a family run business, the team are so chatty and engaging, whilst busy preparing and serving your breakfast. Well done team, see you again soon.
