Why not try the Railway Inn just up from the Exeter on the opposite side. They do really good home cooked food at a very reasonable price. Two courses for £4.50 during the week. Family friendly also.
Last year my husband and myself visited Dawlish in June and September. We were really lucky with the weather so decided to book again this year for the same weeks. We managed to blag June again let's hope September will be the same. Enjoy your holiday.
Does anyone know where I can find an off licence that sells Natch in Dawlish or surrounding areas please?
