Dawlish is located at the outlet of a small river, Dawlish Water (also called The Brook), between Permian red sandstone cliffs, and is fronted by a sandy beach with the South Devon Railway Sea wall and the Riviera Line railway above. The Lawn, through which Dawlish Water flows, is known for its black swans, introduced from Western Australia, which live with other exotic waterfowl in a small urban sanctuary on Dawlish Water.
Getting around the hotel: The 64 en-suite bedrooms are on just 2 floors, with 10 rooms on the ground floor. The rest are on the first floor, which can be reached by a lift or 4 staircases.
