Bridge House
| DAWLISH - SOUTH DEVON
Bridge House, Dawlish, South Devon is situated just over a mile from the sea front and a short walk from the shops of this small and pleasant resort. The distinctive white house which dates back to 1793, enjoys a quiet and peaceful setting. It has the added attraction of a trout stream running through its grounds into Dawlish Water, with its famous black swans. The panelled main lounge, which has a small bar, opens directly onto the garden. |

If you wish to sit in the sun without going outside then the sun lounge on the first floor of the Haigh Wing is the place to be. In addition there is a billiard room and a quiet lounge which enjoys views of the gardens and stream. Meals are served in the sunny, newly refurbished dining room on the ground floor. Bridge House has a fascinating history, it is said that Dickens wrote part of Nicholas Nickleby while staying there and Edward VII visited with his mistress Lily Langtry. In fact her ghost is reputed to have been seen on the upper floors. (by men only!) |
