Wisteria Cottage, Topsham

Wisteria Cottage is a charming period cottage located in the heart of picturesque Topsham, 4 miles from Exeter.

The house sleeps 4 people in 2 bedrooms and forms an ideal base to enjoy the town’s shops, cafes and restaurants, which are within a short walk, and to explore South Devon.

Set in an idyllic spot on the River Exe, Topsham is an historic town that was once an important port. It retains a quaint maritime feel with Dutch-style merchants' houses, Georgian buildings, boatyards and a busy quayside.

The dining table seats 4, extendable to 8. French windows open onto a walled sunny courtyard garden offering total privacy.

Upstairs there's a master bedroom with king-size bed with TV, a twin bedroom, and a spacious family bathroom with bath and separate shower.

Lovely, clean, well-furnished home away from home. The house is right on the main street, so you can walk to the shops and pub. The kitchen is well-stocked with anything you would need. The house even has a nice back garden. Highly recommend.

Wisteria cottage is located in a lovely little town, with a good choice of restaurants and bars. The cottage is clean and has everything you could need and more.The check in was great , we were sent the code for the key box and on arrival there were two folders with information and instructions about the cottage and the appliances in there. We would definitely recommend a stay to friends and family, and we would will visit again .

The property was clean and spacious. The kitchen was very well equipped.Our main problem was finding the designated parking space as the instructions were not accurate. If it had said, "next to Nursery school" we would have found the space more quickly.Also, I had asked the hosts about whether it was a quiet area. They didn't mention that it was opposite a pub with a popular beer garden or that the buses stopped outside the property.

Lovely Cottage

Beautiful cottage, very homely and spotlessly clean. We had an issue with the bathroom door getting stuck shut and i contacted Claire the housekeeper who came out immediately. Loved sitting in the peaceful garden and the cottage is so near to the shops and harbour. Fab to have a parking space too. Will come again!

Nice place, very well equipped kitchen. Excellent communicative host Just bear in mind it's quite a busy road so there will be traffic noise, and more so if you need window open at night in front bedroom.

Lovely little cottage

Lovely cottage just a few minutes walk from the beautiful estuary. The whole place was spotlessly clean. The beds were comfortable with lovely bed linen. It has a nice little courtyard at the back and a parking spot five minutes walk up the road, which is a real bonus! We really enjoyed our stay in Wisteria Cottage and would definitely stay there again.
