Between us, we have many years experience of working in the hospitality industry. We have worked in a variety of Hotels and Guest Houses, from Country House Inns, to Grand London Hotels and busy Airport Hotels, owned a hotel in Cornwall, and worked in retail and catering. Originally from Manchester and London, we have now settled in Teignmouth, just down the coast from Dawlish Warren. Our families live as far afield as Cornwall, Nottingham and Sussex and our grandchildren love spending time in Dawlish Warren when they come to visit – you can see some of them in several of the photos! We have owned several holiday homes in Dawlish Warren for the last few years and are delighted to have acquired Hillside at the Golden Sands Holiday Park in November 2018. We want you to enjoy your stay with us and we will do everything we can to make it as pleasant and comfortable as possible.
Dawlish Warren has something to offer everyone, with its National Nature Reserve, 18 Hole Golf Course and award-winning beach. There are excellent walking and cycle trails, cycle hire and a good selection of pubs, cafes, restaurants, takeaways and shops. There is mini golf, grand prix go-karts as well as amusements, rides and a large, grassed play area. The Nature Reserve is a special site of scientific interest and the second most important site for wildlife in the county, after Dartmoor. It is made up of over 500 acres of sand dunes, grassland, mudflats, salt marsh, wet meadows, woodland and freshwater ponds. The long sandy beach is a 10 minute walk from Hillside. It has been awarded the Blue Flag award for over 20 years. Experienced RNLI Lifeguards are on duty between May and September. Golfers can enjoy the 18 hole golf course which welcomes visitors with its “turn up and play” system and is open all year. Dawlish Warren is the ideal base from which to visit and explore the rest of Devon from the Exe Estuary, to the Teign Valley and Torbay in the south, the Jurassic coast to the east, Dartmoor to the west and the historic city of Exeter to the north.
