The Blenheim is a fantastic hotel for those seeking a beach holiday with stunning seaside views. The location is perfect, right on the sea front with easy access to the beach and park. The sea view rooms on the second floor are particularly amazing and highly recommended. Despite some building works affecting direct access to the beach during our stay, there were still plenty of options for beach walks. The hotel also has a great bar next door and is conveniently located near shops and the beach. Overall, we highly recommend The Blenheim for a beach holiday in Dawlish.
