“This was a wonderful holiday.”

The accommodation was excellent – neat, elegant and cosy – and we really appreciated the owner's helpful instructions, information and welcome treats! The view across the River Exe estuary was stunning and made the whole place feel truly special. With the high tide rising right up beside the front wall, we looked out of our bedroom window every morning and it was as if we were in an ark.

“Third time at No1 and have enjoyed our stay as much as before.”

A significant contribution to our successful stays at No1 has been down to Kate's attention to detail and high level of customer care. Hope this helps. Best regards, Paul Boulton.

“The Quay must rate as one of the best places we have every stayed in over twenty years of holidaying in self catering.”

Everything was in very good order and spotlessly clean plus of course the location was amazing. The owner, Kate, provided very useful additional information for the holiday and made us feel very welcome. It is a place we are seriously considering returning to. Lympstone itself is a very nice location with shop, cafe and pubs and very easy to travel around from, either by foot, train or car. There is only one negative and that is the parking within Lympstone is somewhat limited and the public car park was full on a number of occasions overnight... in September! Big thank you to Sykes and Kate Tony, Jillian and Blue the dog

“This charming cottage is in set in one of the most beautiful locations, looking through the main bedroom window is like looking at a painting, but it's a different picture everyday.”

It is beautifully decorated throughout, with everything you will need to make your stay comfortable. The kind gesture of a bottle of wine and delicious biscuits were a welcoming touch. If you are wanting somewhere quiet, peaceful and relaxing this is the place for you.

“Beautiful cottage, fantastically well-appointed and in a wonderful setting!”

Despite a week of terrible weather, we had a great holiday. Highlights included watching stormy high tides and listening to howling wind and rain... all from our cosy vantage point! The cottage has everything you might need for a relaxing holiday and Kate left us some hugely appreciated, and unexpected treats as a thoughtful welcome gift. Getting around Lympstone and the surrounding area is easy both by public transport and by car and we had a great week dodging showers (aftermath of Storm Dennis!) and visiting this beautiful part of East Devin. We would have no hesitation in staying at 1, The Quay again and can’t recommend it highly enough.

“What a gem of a cottage, so delightfully appointed and so very welcoming.”

Our host ensured are arrival would be the perfect start to the holiday. Even on a grey November day the house was warm and comfortable, with incredible views accross the estuary. It is a unique and welcoming cottage with everything one neds for that break from the pace of modern life - yet with both Exmouth and Exeter on the doorstep. Wonderful to watch the ever-changing vista from the windows, with the ebb and flow of the tide up the estuary. To wake to the call of the Curlew, now-rare in England, to draw back the curtains and see him standing silhouetted on the shoreline, with a host of scurrying Turnstones, Sandpipers and other wading birds, feeding in the shingle and the seaweed, with Brent Geese bobbing on the water! We found a corner of Paradise here - a cottage with every comfort and an area of water, great walks plus towns with history and a cathedral. What more could you want! A holiday we will long remember

“Mr”

Our family, including dog, have just spent a wonderful week in this beautiful, quaint cottage. It was peaceful and had every amenity we needed. Kate the owner was so helpful and left some lovely treats for humans and our four legged friend. I loved waking up every morning and looking out of our bedroom window at the estuary with Powderham Folly in the distance. Thank you Kate, we have had a wonderful holiday and made many wonderful memories.

“Mrs”

Amazing cottage right on the waters edge; very relaxing to wake up to the sound of the water. Really nicely furnished and lovely and clean with everything you could want. 3 minutes walk from two nice pubs, and same distance to the Exe trail along which you could get easily to Topsham, Exmouth and Exton. Really enjoyed our week there.

“Beautiful cottage in a perfect location”

The cottage is lovely, and very clean and comfortable. It was very peaceful and relaxing. The owner provided thoughtful touches and made us (and our dog) very welcome. The views are to die for. We saw some lovely sunsets. Lympstone is a gorgeous, friendly village with good transport links - no need to drive if you don’t feel like it. Thoroughly recommend this cottage.
