Overview
Property
Cottage near Topsham, Nr. Exeter, South Devon, England - Located only 7 miles from Exmouth, Local Pub Nearby
This charming, detached former lodge dates back to 1840 and offers charming and spacious accommodation. It’s pretty terraced and secluded garden has steps leading to a raised lawn and landscaped patio area, with furniture and BBQ to enjoy the summer sun. In cooler times the cottage, with its log burning inglenook fire is an inviting place to return to after a visit to the many nearby attractions. These include Topsham with its shops, pubs, quay and antique centre, and a variety of pubs and restaurants, shops and an outdoor swimming pool. Exmouth beach is within easy reach with a long sandy beach and boat trips around the estuary. Also Dartmoor National Park, Exeter Golf and County Club, Nature Reserves and Adventure Parks including nearby Crealy a must for children. But if you feel lazy the local pub is just yards away with its thatched roof, large grounds, outdoor eating and restaurant offering a range of good food supplied by local farmers and fishermen.

Such a beautiful cottage. It was a perfect place to stay during the week of our daughter’s wedding.
A superb cottage real home from home. A lovely week spent on the beach, and excellent meals had at the Blue Ball pub. Disappointing the weather was too good to light the log fire!
A fabulous cottage which made our family Christmas. Fire was great which kept us cozy from the Devon rain. We will be back
2nd visit, perfect cottage for our 3 generations, lovely weather much time spent on Exmouth beach.
Lovely meals at the Blue Ball. Topsham pool was great as is Darts Farm (especially the deli counter) Hope to be back soon.
Beautiful cottage and nice setting, we had a lovely time, many thanks, weather was also fabulous.
Lost count of how many visits now, back again next year we hope.

This was a lovely cottage. Very well equipped especially as we took a 7 month old baby and a 3 Year old with us. Well located for lovely beaches and beauty spots. Blue Ball pub served delicious freshly cooked food although we had to wait. Only downside parking for 2 cars could have been a bit bigger.
