Oliver “Location couldn't be better with a co-op supermarket and a pub within 2 minutes of the front door.”
The cottage is a great location for Topsham as well as getting the train to the beach or into Exeter. We stayed in winter and the cottage was warm and comfortable with very dark rooms at night for a great sleep.

- Richard, June 2024Sheila “Love this place!”
Perfect location and very comfortable. The patio garden is a real haven. Lack of parking is a drawback but public parking is only 5 minutes away and around ÂŁ5 per day. Much easier and more relaxing to use the excellent local train service! A 5 minute walk to Exe St.

A smart TV/DVD with Netflix account, a Bluetooth speaker/CD player and plenty of board games and DVDs will keep you entertained afterwards.
Modern heating, double glazing and a gas fire should keep you warm and content whatever the weather.
A private pretty courtyard is to the rear, with table, chairs and parasol allowing dining al fresco.
Off the hallway is a downstairs WC, and a washer-/dryer.
On the middle floor is a double bedroom with king-sized bed, and a single bedroom, both with pocket sprung mattresses.

About the location
TOPSHAM
Exeter 4.5 miles; Exmouth 6.5 miles; Newton Abbot 17.2 miles.
The charming town of Topsham is set on the River Exe estuary and has been declared a conservation area due to the wealth of 17th and 18th century merchants' houses, many built in the Dutch style with carved gable ends. Within the town you will be delighted to find a selection of historic pubs and award-winning restaurants including The Galley Fish and Seafood Restaurant, which boasts panoramic views of the Exe Estuary. Foodie lovers will also enjoy the town’s food festival which happens every summer. The town also plays host to a magnitude of independent shops, galleries and the Topsham Museum is an interesting visit. From here, you can catch a train into the city of Exeter where you can explore the city walls which surround the centre and the Gothic Cathedral, or head in the opposite direction and soak up the sun at the seaside resort of Exmouth. Topsham promises a wonderful escape to Devon, where you can have the best of both worlds within a short drive.
