Dunholme House: Victorian Self-Catering Stay

Dunholme House occupies a quiet spot on Exeter Street in Teignmouth, a restored Victorian detached property that combines period character with practical updates for holiday lets.

The three-storey house suits larger groups or families seeking a base on the Devon coast. Its layout spreads living spaces and bedrooms across levels, allowing separate areas for relaxation and activities.

On the ground floor, a main sitting room flows through an archway into the dining area, both seating up to eight. The adjacent kitchen comes equipped with an oven, hob, microwave, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, and tumble dryer. Basic supplies like seasonings and cleaning items often remain for convenience. A family bathroom with bath and overhead shower sits here, alongside a separate WC.

Upstairs on the first floor, two double bedrooms each feature en-suite shower pods. A second sitting room serves well as a play area, fitted with a wall-mounted TV, games consoles, books, DVDs, and a drop-down king-size bed for flexible sleeping.

The top floor holds a twin bedroom and a single, bringing the total to four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Outside, a small enclosed courtyard offers table and chairs, useful for drying beach gear or letting pets stretch.

The house welcomes up to two well-behaved dogs, and extras like a cot and highchair support younger visitors. Gas central heating, WiFi, and entertainment options round out the setup.

Teignmouth’s position at the mouth of the River Teign places Dunholme House within easy reach of the town’s main draws. The seafront, pier, and sandy beaches lie about ten minutes away on foot. The town centre’s shops, pubs, and restaurants cluster nearby, with a large supermarket just across the main road.

The railway station is a short walk, connecting to coastal routes towards Dawlish or Torquay. Across the estuary, the village of Shaldon provides additional beaches and a wildlife centre, reachable by passenger ferry.

Many guests highlight the generous space, thoughtful equipment, and central yet peaceful position. The nostalgic touches – board games, older consoles, and seaside details – add warmth to stays. Rates well with a good number of reviews.
