The coach in general was lovely, there's no wifi and the laundry on site, you have to pay for which I personally think should be included for the amount the holiday cost. The double was horrendous, thin mattress which made it feel like you were sleeping on a concrete slab. After staying in a few old railway coaches in my opinion this is bottom of the list.There area was lovely, enjoyed the beach. Will go to dawlish warren again but will definitely not be stopping in a railway coach there.

Just returned from a wonderful 7-night holiday celebrating our son’s 8th birthday. As a huge train enthusiast, he was absolutely thrilled—he spent hours by the window watching the trains go by, which made the trip extra special for him.We would highly recommend this place. A special thank you to Josh, who couldn’t do enough to help, and to Chris for the thoughtful birthday ice cream surprise for Kingsley. Both truly went the extra mile to make sure everyone was having a fantastic time.
