Dunholme House

Lovely, lovely accomidation in the beutiful Teignmouth.

It's very spacious, in a great location and in good condition. It's a little dated, but we felt this added to the charm of the hous. We particularly liked the play room- there are so many games, toys, videos and dvds- the children were very entertained. The courtyard is bigger than the pictures show and captures the sun really nicely. The house is on a bit of a hill, but you can cut through the cemetery which breaks the hill up a bit. It's a 10.min walk from the train station and roughly the same distance to the town. There is also a Lidl at the end of the hill and the cemetery is pet friendly, so a nice spot to walk the dogs at night. Overall, we throughly rate the accomidation and will definitely book again if we are in that part of the country.

Second visit to Dunholme for family of six.

Accommodation is excellent everything you need. Bit of a hill to walk up and down, we walked into town every day. Plenty of parking places if you need to use your car £42 for the week (must move your car every 48 hours) but much cheaper than individual parking. Age range 70s to 18 years old. Cut through back of Lidl to town centre. Dunholme feels like home from home.

The whole family loved this accommodation.

Like home from home. Loved it that much we book again in 2026. We have family not far from Dunholme so was able to all meet at the house and have a take away. Plenty of room around the table.

Accommodation as described, kitchen was very well equipped.

Flexible seating areas with a second upstairs lounge and lots of games, CDs, videos etc. Area was quiet; but town and beach not far away and easily accessible. Easy to access other coastal areas as well as Exeter and Dartmoor, and train service is nearby and very good. A really good base for a holiday.

Brilliant location ,parking a problem but not insurmountable a pain to have to move car every 48 hrs .

Close to seafront ,railway station, town ! The house was clean and very comfortable . A couple of little things though ... bedside table and lamps in the twin and single needed. The mattress in the single room very stained . Good information but not about recycling ... no boxes or food caddy ,we were a group of committed recyclers ! I would definitely stay again and love teignmouth !

We visited for family trip away, perfect location, with lots of space.

Everything we needed.

Lovely place to stay, loved the nostalgia of the place, plenty of room for everyone.

Also a good base to explore Devon coast. Would definitely recommend.

Like a home from home, everything you could need for a family holiday, nostalgic board games and plenty of space and facilities.

Having toilet rolls, washing up liquid and hand soap is great when you arrive as a family. The house is in a good location for walking into town, Lidl just around the corner was very handy.

Is a lovely large house in a great location.

Has lots of things you might need , nice little patio and lovely lounge with comfy sofas. Decore was lovely too. We had a great time only negatives were lack of storage space in the bedrooms, bedside tables would fix this also a tv in the bedrooms would be nice. Would recommend staying here

Great house with surprise bedroom shower pods which made our stay even more comfortable.

We loved the trip down memory lane playing crash bandicoot on the ps2.

An ideal holiday venue We were a group of friends of very mixed ages and found the house had something for everyone- books for toddlers to factual readers, games, toys, x box, DVD’s (and even videos plus video player) Such a short walk into town and Lidl so close was perfect.

We loved the generous supply of crockery and the great communal table. The kitchen was everything home from home - we spotted but didn’t use slow cookers and stick blenders. Plenty to bake with as well as cook with. Our one problem was that the oven only had one shelf The cupboard of useful supplies much appreciated for the odd stock cube or tablespoon of flour and salt and pepper etc Tumble dryer, washing machine and dishwasher all newish and work well. Proper full size fridge and full size freezer. The en-suite pods in the double bed rooms are a clever idea and giving the house 4 much needed loos. No issues with WiFi or hot water Bit of a long review but these are the tips I look for

Family of five adults ageing from 23-78 years young stayed at the property.

It’s a lovely spacious house as described over three floors. The rear courtyard is enclosed which is good as we took our two pups. This had a table with a few chairs and also a small line to hang out your beach towels / washing. I really liked that there was two lounges as at times we could use both to do different things. At the property there are books games puzzles really thoughtful especially if you’re unlucky to get a rainy day with our weather. The kitchen was well stocked for equipment and the little touches like the toilet roll bags for the extra toilet rolls in one of the rooms made it all look part of the seaside theme. Some real effort has been made to make this a home from home. The location of the house is really too close to the town / beach and there is also a Lidl just at the bottom of the road over the main road. We unpacked our car parking across from the house did a quick Lidl trip and unpacked before moving our car to one of the local car parks, again not far to walk from the house. There is a lot of helpful information given before you arrive to help you decide where to park depending the duration of your stay.

Dunholme House is very well positioned being so close to the shopping/beach areas.

We found the layout suited our requirements, particularly having a second sitting room. The property is very well equipped with appliances (kitchen and living rooms). Although parking is not available at the property, we purchased a weekly voucher from the local authority and used a couple of their nearby carparks.

Lovely place to stay, ticks all the boxes, only downside is no parking but car park is only a short walk away

Amazing property we have stayed here so many times.

It’s a cracking location and a perfect house for our large family. Would 100% recommend. My girls call it the blue house and always get excited when we are going there xx

We had a lovely holiday, the house had lots of space and everything we could ask for!

The location was close to town, unfortunately not having parking near the property was a little difficult with small children. But parking permits are available for town car parks, which is helpful. All issues we had were quickly sorted out but the amazing owners taking away all stress! We would recommend the area and house for a lovely holiday!

This property was ideal for our party of 4 adults 4 children 1 toddler and a dog.

The house was very well equipped with everything we needed, and also highchair, cot, 3 stairgates and plenty of books and games. There are 4 loos and 3 showers/bath, and so much space we sometimes didn't know the children were in the house. Slight downside of parking away from the property, but with plenty to do within Teignmouth (and we caught the train to Dawlish and Torquay as something different for the kids) this wasn't a real problem. Lidl is closeby, but best to take the heavy basics to avoid carrying them back (we loaded the toddler's buggy). Very small outdoor space at the back is totally enclosed and was nice for children and dog to sit outside if they wished. A very enjoyable week.

Ian what a wonderful stay we had at your cottage it met all our expectations.

So close to town and all the amenities the children loved it. The stair gates were an absolute boon as was the play room. We hope to come again.

Dunholme House is the perfect base for Teignmouth and surrounding areas.

Only 10 minutes walk from the seafront and town centre, with a wide range of shops, pubs, restaurants, etc. We really loved exploring the town’s streets and alleyways. The house is lovely, and provides one with everything you might need for relaxation and entertainment. We would love to stay there again.

Loved staying at Dunholme house.

It’s a home from home. Got everything we needed and more! Perfect location.

We had a wonderful long weekend break.

Very big property with plenty of space for a large family. They have thought of everything you could possibly need. Parking was not a problem,the car parks are a few minutes away and we didnt need the car once we unloaded outside as Teignmouth has lots to offer including the ferry to take you across to Shaldon. We stayed local and didnt use the cars for the whole weekend!There is free parking if you are fit enough to walk up to off road parking near the playing fields.The property is very comfortable and welcoming.Great value for money.

Great family house for a Christmas get together, plenty of rooms to escape into!

! A few niggles, extractor fan in kitchen doesn't work. Pod boiler pilot light blew out twice. Lounge TV a bit troublesome but nothing too major. Good facilities, clean, tidy, close to the town. We were sorry to leave.

The holiday was really good with the property being well located with the town only a few minutes walk.

Although parking is an issue the car parks are very close. The property was comfortable and had everything that you needed for the stay, however, we did feel it wasn't as clean as it could be with the end of the season it might have just been a little tired. We would recommend this property for those with a family as it had an extra living room with entertainment for the kids.

After a traumatic 2018 a holiday was most definitely needed.

So months of saving to provide this holiday for my three daughters and elderly mother our holiday dates had finally arrived. After a very long and tiring journey. All excited for our holiday and about the property we would be staying in. But the excitement didn’t stay for long. On arrival at the property first impressions weren’t good as recycling boxes overflowing and big bin full to the top. Then NO key in the lock box so couldn’t enter the property. Contacted owner who suggested we climb through the window. Luckily my children are of an age where this was possible as myself or my mother most certainly wouldn’t have been able to do this. Once my 9 year old had managed to get into the property and opened the door we where greeted with a very strong musty smell, bits all over the hall floor, very thick cobwebs and flies above the front door. Upon further investigation to look around our holiday home we found dirty washing in the washing machine, pots in the dishwasher. kitchen cupboards smelt mouldy. Dust on shelves, behind tv, on skirting boards and that was just the first floor. Going upstairs main bathroom shower screen rubber seal not the best and ornaments, pictures, hooks all dusty/dirty. Shower heads in en-suites where black/dirty. Tv in second lounge thick with dust. Wardrobes dusty, Not good at all especially when one of your children is asthmatic. Down the side of one of the beds was sweet wrappers and somebody else’s socks so definitely not cleaned. I could go and on with what we found. Luckily the weather was on my side if we would have had to spend any long periods of time in the property I would have requested Sykes to find us somewhere else to stay. Which is a shame as it’s a good size house, in a good location with plenty of books, games and films. But it is most definitely in need of some deep cleaning as feel only the bear minimum is being done.

Very well equipped house in a great location.

On a very quiet road. Only a short walk to the town and beach and train station, parking wasn't an issue as we parked up the hill outside the school which is only a 5 minute walk. The kids loved the games room. First visit to teignmouth, nice friendly town, we enjoyed swimming in the lido. And took the train to dawlish Warren.

This was our 2nd visit and we will be back again.

Suits a large family as there is plenty of space and the town/beach is within walking distance. We had a lovely week

Spacious and comfortable accommodation.

Really good selection of DVDs,books and games. Paid £25 for weekly parking permit which was really good value as we could use it throughout Teignbridge. We stayed during Easter holidays and overnight parking was not an issue; however the nearest car park was always full during the day, possibly due to commuters using the station. For dog owners - there is a small paved yard - the nearest bit of grass for late night walks was near the station.

It was a great base for visiting the rest of Devon and into Cornwall,also located near town and beach so didn't have to use the car for a couple of days which was extra relaxing!

It was great to have somewhere so dog friendly too. We all had a great time.

Enjoyed the holiday and very happy with the closeness of the beach.

House old, but good, and nice and clean

We stayed here 12 months ago.

The whole booking process with Sykes was seamless and easy we would highly reccommend them. The house it's self was everything we expected and more. Ideally located just a short walk from shops, cafes, restaurants and the beach. The house was comfortable, clean and the facilities for families were spot on. We went armed with toys, books etc to entertain a 3 year old and 1 year old and we didn't need any of it. Everything we needed was there. I am sure we will return at some point and we have already booked our next holiday for 2018 with Sykes cottages.

Great family holiday home.

Probably could do with stair gates at each flight of stairs.

A large comfortable house with all the facilities and furnishings as you would hope there to be.

The location is excellent. Some clearer guidance on how to recycle would be helpful - we ended up taking stuff down to Waitrose.

It was really a home from home cottage.

Everyone enjoyed their stay here. Lots of toys and games to keep the children happy. Would of liked a stair gate. It had plenty of towels and beds were made up. Overall an excellent place to stay.
