About Sparrow's Nest

Sparrow's Nest cottage is semi-detached (we live next door) with open country views front and back.

Set back from the road with parking off-road, you'd have your own enclosed garden and use of our field too.

Price includes all electricity. However, charging an EV is not permitted.

Bedding and towels provided.

Buses to Dawlish or Exeter are 2 minutes away. Ferry to Exmouth is 1.5 miles away (Easter - Oct).

5 minute walk to countryside park and 1.5 miles from beaches at Dawlish and Dawlish Warren ( National nature reserve).

Dawlish and Teignmouth are interesting small resorts.

Sparrow's Nest is on a county wildlife site (for Cirl bunting birds).

It's a wonderful area for walking and cycling with the Exe estuary cycle trail very near and the south west coast path too. We'd love to welcome you to what we consider is a very special area of the country and are happy to help you find lovely places to visit, whether it's a trip onto Dartmoor or across the bay by ferry from Torquay to Brixham, maybe seeing dolphins on the way. Maybe down the smugglers' tunnel inside the cliffs at Shaldon to the hidden beach.

We've had lots of returning visitors over the past few years who have enjoyed staying and we'd do our best to make your stay a memorable one.
