“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.
Mrs Wills February 2020

“Cottage was exactly as described,cannot fault.”

Owner was in touch during stay which is very thoughtful.Would recommend without hesitation.
Mrs Cook February 2020

“The cottage was fantastic and in the most unique setting.”

Everything had been maintained and cared for to a very high standard.
Ms Ryan February 2020

“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.
Mr Curry November 2019

“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
Ms Harding November 2019

“1 The Quay is a gorgeous cottage in a stunning location.”

It has been very thoughtfully renovated and everything is done to a very high standard. We stayed here with four adults and it contained all of us with comfortable seating in the living room and a great dining area for all four. The two bedrooms are lovely with the one on the first floor having spectacular views over the river. The one on the top floor has a nice sitting area which also looks out towards the river. This gives you some privacy should you need some alone time :) The best thing about the cottage is the wonderful host Kate who could not have been kinder to us. We would highly recommend this place for a holiday any time of year and we will be looking to stay again ourselves.
Mr Scott November 2019

“The cottage was very comfortable and spotlessly clean.”

It had all the home comforts to make our holiday complete .
Mrs Denning October 2019

“The highlight for us was the location.”

We didn't use the car all week. Plenty of walking and the train so accessible made it all so easy. Virws from the cottage were idyllic.

“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 Pearse August 2019

“One of the most comfortable and best equipped cottages we have stayed in.”

A welcome package with a card from the owner was a lovely touch too. The village shop/post office was well stocked and eateries in the village were very welcoming. Exploring the village along the many pathways between the cottages before easy walking along the coastal walkway made for a relaxing break. There were quiet areas with seats to sit in the sun overlooking the estuary or even the coffee shop with a delicious snack. A single-track train ran along the coast from the village so there was no real need to even move the car. What else could you ask for?
Mr Mcnally August 2019

“This a stunning cottage in a beautiful setting within a relaxing village.”

The cottage was spotless and the owner exceptionally helpful.
Jilllian July 2019

“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.
Mrs Suchy July 2019

“The cottage was spotless and very well equipped.”

The location is superb with fantastic views over the estuary and the village itself offered many places to eat and drink. Well situated on the Exe trail cycle and walking route.
Mr Blythe July 2019

“Great property on the Exe estuary.”

Well equipped and homely. Good walking to local towns & villages via the Exe trail with the train to bring you home if tired. Local pubs provide good refreshment and entertainment.
Mrs Baker June 2019

“Super location and lovely property, very clean and a home from home.”

great to leave the car for the week and travel by train from the village . excellent views of the tidal river right on the doorstep, what's not to like !!
Mr Saint June 2019

“1 The Quay is a real gem.”

The cottage is stylish, functional and essentials and treats are provided in a goody collection.Its location next to one of the best estuaries in England provides wonderfully changing scenery. The village has all one needs with the opportunity to walk up or down the estuary or use the local train. Plenty of places to eat nearbye including a Michelin starred restaurant. All just excellent
Mrs Smith June 2019

“Beautiful cottage in a stunning location.”

It really is something special
Mr Wood June 2019

“This little cottage is amazing.”

Exceptionally clean and bright, the sun bursts through the windows to wake you and the lapping water sends you to sleep at night.... yes it comes right up to the wall. Sunsets are just stunning

“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.
Mrs Raynor May 2019

“Fantastic location with no cars or traffic noise.”

Village is good - pubs, tea room, shop and most important for us a train station with regular trains to Exeter or Exmouth. The cottage is lovely and like something out of a TV ad, everything we needed was there including toys for our grandson. Chairs situated so you can see the view were appreciated.
Mrs Bowcott April 2019

“Loved the cottage and its position in the village of Lympstone.”

A dishwasher would make it perfect but my husband made up for the lack of one. The décor was contemporary but still charming and comfortable and the log burner was a cosy feature.
Mrs Cryer April 2019

“We had a wonderful time in Lympstone, made particularly special by the beautiful little cottage with a gorgeous view and a lovely welcome.”

A truly warm and relaxing place with everything we needed - home away from home. Kate went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. Thank you very much!
Mr Taylor April 2019

“We have been back to this property 5 times now, initially as a couple and most recently as a family of 5.”

The charm of this cottage being almost surrounded by water at high tide makes it a truly magical place to recover after a busy day with the family and to grab a drink in time to watch the sun set over the estuary.
Mr Rowe March 2019

“A delightful small cottage spotlessly clean and comfortably furnished ...”

A delightful small cottage spotlessly clean and comfortably furnished The position opposite the Exe was interesting with changing views throughout the day Very central for walks restaurants and exploring south devon Congratulations to Kate and Iain
Mr Goulty March 2019

“A outstanding cottage in a equal stunning location Words don’t do it justice book and see for yourself”
Mr Guy February 2019

“Really fantastic location - peaceful and with an ever-changing view.”

Great for walks with dog, visiting local beaches, Exeter and Dartmoor. 3 good pubs in walking distance. The cottage itself was very clean, comfortable and well-designed and organised. Everything we needed from our week away.
Mrs Fleming February 2019

“We could not fault this extremely lovely cottage.”

Views are exceptional as is every little detail owner has put into making this a very comfy cottage. Lots of super walks straight from the door and having a luxury bathroom to relax in after long walks was superb. The local pubs are dog friendly which was an added bonus for us.
Mrs Strange January 2019

“What a fantastic position, lovely little cottage!”

Very cosy! Bird watching on the doorstep, pubs and a shop round the corner and frequent trains stopping in the village station to take you to the bright lights of Exeter if required. Very well looked after place and helpful, friendly owner.
Miss Lilley December 2018

“Communication through the booking process, the stay itself, right through till checkout and a thank you email from the owner once we returned home was top notch, absolutely fantastic customer service throughout.”
Mrs Dymond November 2018

“Delightful cottage, immaculately clean and very comfortable.”

Just loved the position, watching the tidal changes. Appreciated the welcome goodies, nice linen and good quality towels. Faultless ...will definitely return. Great position for walking, running and cycling. Excellent village pub The Swan and village shop.
Mrs Booth October 2018

“Cottage was beautiful - had everything you need :) Location.”

.. absolutely amazing - literally could have stayed there forever!
Mr Ashley September 2018

“A lovely cottage looking out on to the estuary.”

This time of year there are migrating birds to watch. There’s plenty to do and see around Lympstone and even further afield. Am certainly returning again next year.
