Yesterday, something pretty special rolled along the South Devon coast.
The iconic Sir Nigel Gresley tootled past Dawlish on the world famous sea wall, treating everyone lucky enough to be watching to a glimpse of one of Britain’s most celebrated steam locomotives. It was one of those moments that reminds you just how magical this stretch of Devon really is.
From the balcony at Beach House Devon, guests have a front row seat to one of the UK’s most spectacular railway journeys. The famous Dawlish sea wall, dramatic red cliffs, rolling waves and passing trains create a view that’s constantly changing and never gets old.
Whether you’re a railway enthusiast hoping to spot a historic steam train, a family looking for a seaside escape, or simply someone who loves watching the world go by with a morning coffee in hand, Beach House Devon offers a truly unique coastal stay.
Imagine waking up to the sound of the sea, spending the day on the beach, and then watching an iconic steam locomotive pass by your window.
Some holiday memories can’t be planned. This was one of them.
