We had a very pleasant stay in a lovely village. The cottage comfortably met our needs. As advised by the owner the parking was challenging. The smaller the car the better. Overall we were very happy with our stay.

Exactly as advertised and deservedly recommended ‘excellent’ again and again. This historic cottage is compact but well updated with all facilities including wifi. Scrupulously clean and simply but tastefully furnished, Exeter cottage provides an excellent base for regional touring - even better perhaps for local exploration of the ‘Tops’ham’ area. Don’t miss a walk to eye opener ‘Darts Farm ‘ UK best farm shop 2025 or to the Antiques emporium on the quay and a multitude of other quality attractions

Realistically no parking

Realistically no parking

The little house is in a great location for shops and everything Topsham has to offer. The house itself is fine for a place to sleep but realistically you wouldn't want to spend much time there. It seemed to get very little light so was a bit depressing but if you're on your holidays then just get up and out and it's fine. Our main issue was the parking, or lack of. It was a stress every single day. I honestly have no idea how anyone (unless you're in a tiny smart car) managed to get in and out of the 'space' provided. If you have a normal sized car, I can't see how it is doable. I have read reviews where people have managed it but honestly, I do not know how - with a fair bit of stress I imagine and maybe a few scratches to your car. Topsham is tough to find spaces and we often had to park quite a bit down the road. Road parking is for only an hour between 9 and 6. If you're up early and back late, then less of a problem but even then expect a bit of a walk once you manage to find a space. I wouldn't stay here again and I don't think the car parking space should be advertised as one at all. If you were coming on the train and if you just want somewhere to lay your head, then this place is for you. If you have a car and you need somewhere nice to relax and chill, then I would find somewhere else.

Lovely cottage for a small/young family, couple or individual

Lovely cottage for a small/young family, couple or individual

The cottage has been well maintained and provided everything we needed for a family of four with a 6 and a 7 year old for a week away. It is quite small, which was fine for us as our children are young and we spent most of our time out of the cottage. If you had older children or planned to spend more time at home it might feel a bit small. The beds and furniture was comfortable and we managed ok with the dining facilities. Our kids ate at the breakfast bar and we (2 adults) opened half the table up to eat there. The table will fit four round when opened up fully but we couldn’t find a good space to fit it when fully opened. The kids were very pleased to discover the selection of toys, books and dvds provided and barely played with the few of their own they had taken with them. A nice touch. Parking and the driveway is very tight. We have a Vauxhall Meriva and we just about managed. Reversing in was too difficult even for a postman who is used to driving in tight spots but he managed to drive in forwards ok and reverse out. Anything bigger would stick out too much for their neighbours to get out I suspect. Overall we’ve had a lovely stay and would recommend this cottage.

We loved our stay in the Exeter Cottage. We had everything we needed and had a good base from which to explore Devon. Also the communication with the owner was very good, it also helps to read the description of the cottage. Our large car was a challenge to get onto the square and back out again, so we did not repeat that a second time :D Thank you for this lovely stay!

Nice little cottage, needs some attention

Nice little cottage, needs some attention

Nice little cottage, but too dark inside with daylight and a bit too many domestic parafernalia. Good bed, nice bedroom and well appointed kitchen. Bathroom needs thorough cleaning, esp. the tiles and rail above the bath. These findings were a bit to our surprise, maybe because the number of relevant photographs on the site is limited. Kind and helpful contact with owner via telephone.

Excellent location, handy for train, bus and footpath/trails. Towels and utensils all supplied, lovely coffee machine. Bed very comfortable. Maybe could do with a bit of updating. Parking definitely tight even for a Honda Jazz. A pint of milk in the fridge (to go with the tea and coffee, which were supplied) would be a nice touch. Overall very good.

Three friends on a girly get together, so perfect location for us. We have stayed here before and whenever in this area we would always try and have this cottage. Perfect location for just walking into Topsham in the evenings to eat and the train station for outings in the day. Cosy, quiet, clean, just right for us!

This charming cottage is tucked away in the lovely village of Topsham. We arrived by train, less than 10 minutes walk away. We used both the train and the bus to Exeter, both options were quick and easy. The cottage is warm and comfortable, and had all we needed for a lovely short break. Richard's communication was excellent.

Stayed here 2nd week of June, and had fantastic weather, only used property to sleep and bathe, plenty of places around cottage to eat and drink, however if you needed to cook there appeared to be a fully fitted kitchen. As you are warned, parking is an issue but if your vehicle has reversing sensors, no problem. My wife and I had a fabulous week in Topsham, everything within a few minutes walk.

This cottage was perfect for my stay I Topsham, a lovely little town. It was comfortable and clean, with everything needed for a short or long stay. The location was just around the corner from the main shopping street. All the people I met were friendly and helpful. I took lovely strolls along the picturesque waterfront which was only a two minute walk away. Richard was a super host, always available to answer a question through the HomeAway App or email.

Came down from Yorkshire to visit relatives for the week. The cottage was superb for the two of us, very clean, comfortable beds and well equipped with everything we needed. The cottage has a handy car parking space, central but quiet location and good public transport. We visited Exmouth, Budleigh Salterton, Dartmoor (although we didn't see Haytor as it was so misty!), relatives in Exeter by train and even made it up to Exmoor. Topsham itself is a great place to hang out, we had most meals out there as there was so much choice. Definitely be coming back!

Absolutely wonderful for river views, country walks, flowers and picturesque cottages but at the same time with many options for fine dining and niche shopping. Comfortable and quaint cottage. We parked the car and used the train, cycles and walking. Hope to be back soon.

We really enjoyed our stay in this cottage in Topsham. It was ideally situated (right next to the pretty high street, and 2 mins from the Exeter bus stop, 5 mins from the train station) and equipped with everything our family needed. Clean, cosy, welcoming - highly recommend!

Cozy cottage that ticked all the boxes. A washer would have been nice seeing that we stayed for a week but the positives far outweighed the negatives. Parking proved a bit challenging the first couple of days but by mid-week it was not a problem. I will definitrly be looking to stay here the next time I'm in the area!

We had a lovely stay in Richards cottage. The place was very clean and well equipped, and a good central position in Topsham for shops and pubs. We were able to use the loc al train into Exeter one evening, only a few minutes walk from the cottage.

From the moment we stepped into the cottage it had a lovely feel to it. Every thing was clean and well prepared for our stay. The location is ideal to explore this wonderful little town. The parking is difficult but is explaining in the description . The owner rang to welcome us and make sure all our needs were met. I would recommend this little cottage to anyone. We hope to return in the summer.

We stayed at this property for Christmas 2014. This is the perfect location for staying in Topsham and exploring the local area. Don't worry about parking as we got our large estate car in with no problem. Nice and cosy. Would stay again.

Exeter Cottage ticked every box we could have had. Somewhere to park in Topsham is worth it's weight in gold and the cottage was beautifully presented on arrival with lots of home comforts. The kitchen was particularly well equipped so we were able to make the most of the lovely local produce available in the area.The beds were super comfortable and the wood burner gave the whole place a wonderful cosy feel. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

We enjoyed our stay at Exeter Cottage. Everything was as described and spotlessly clean. We have already recommended it to others but really wanted to keep it a secret!! Topsham is a lovely place in itself but there are many other attractions in the area from Exeter itself with its beautiful cathedral to Crealy a great place for young children. You can easily reach East, West and North Devon to visit different places and we drove to Lyme Regis which is just in Dorset. As Topsham has a railway station which is just about quarter of a mile from the cottage visitors without a car could also benefit. There are lots of opprtunities for walking in the lovely countryside and on wonderful Dartmoor.
