5/5 Lexi W. 4 years ago on Google
After
one
of
the
worst
of
my
summers
in
living
memory,
I
was
lucky
enough
to
be
accepted
to
have
a
week
convalescing
in
the
out-of-the-way
Dawlish.
If
anyone
else
has
the
opportunity,
I
can't
recommend
it
enough.
It
has
been
everything
needed.
The
Duty
Manager
looks
after
guests
very
well.
The
room
I
had
was
large
and
very
ample,
with
a
nice
shower
room
with
a
sit-down
seat
therein.
The
gardens
are
kept
beautifully,
with
fish
in
a
closed-off
pond,
benches
throughout,
different
trees
and
plants,
wonderful
awnings
and
two
Japanese-style
bridges.
Over
48
hours,
I
met
a
dog
(Buck
-
the
groundskeeper's
black
lab,
he's
lovely),
a
cat,
two
pheasants,
squirrels,
and
many
different
little
birds
I've
never
seen
in
a
town
before!
I
found
walking
there
every
morning
very
stimulating.
Nearby
is
a
lovely
church
and
its
churchyard
to
walk
through
as
well,
and
it
took
me
fifteen
minutes
at
a
leisurely
pace
to
get
to
The
Strand,
the
main
lot
of
shops
before
you
reach
the
seafront.
The
hotel
itself
is
all
anyone
could
need
to
recover
fully
from
ailments
in
tranquility
-
nurses
on
hand
day
and
night,
a
very
conscientious
and
adaptive
service
in
the
restaurant
(they
can't
do
enough
for
you)
and
every
single
meal
was
delicious.
I
don't
eat
red
meat
and
have
problems
with
Gluten,
but
I
never
went
without!
I
brought
along
some
of
my
own
acceptable
flour
and
had
bread
and
butter
pudding
etc.
made
for
me
fresh.
I
didn't
feel
able
to
go
on
the
trips,
but
I
was
informed
they
were
very
good
too.
I
was
the
youngest
person
there
by
possibly
20
years,
but
everyone
is
friendly
and
kind.
You
sit
with
other
people
at
mealtimes
so
that
you
don't
feel
alone,
especially
if,
like
me,
you
have
come
by
yourself.
Everyone
working
there
has
a
wonderful
disposition
and
does
their
best
at
all
times.
WiFi
was
good
and
a
lot
of
channels.
Reading
materials
on
every
floor
and
the
lounges
to
just
sit
and
chat
or
read
or
play
Rummikub,
were
lovely
and
peaceful.
There
was
even
a
therapist
who
was
really
very
good
and
who
I
had
a
session
with
-
he
is
one
of
the
best
I
have
ever
had
the
fortune
of
working
with!
He
provides
Reiki,
massage
etc.
and
did
a
follow
up
after
my
session.
I
recommend
that
as
well
as
an
extra.
They
really
do
look
after
you
at
this
place,
and
it
doesn't
seem
to
matter
what
you're
getting
over.
There
was
a
lady
with
Parkinson's,
gentleman
needing
constant
oxygen
and
a
gentleman
(with
his
wife)
getting
over
a
recent
knee
operation
while
I
was
there;
but
they
approved
me
for
my
anxiety
issues,
traumas
and
recent
grief
and
I'm
o
pleased
that
they
did,
as
this
was
everything
I
could
have
needed
or
asked
for.
In
the
nicest
possible
way,
I
hope
to
never
use
them
again(!)
but
if
I
ever
were
to
get
so
bad
again,
I
would
be
delighted
to
return.
