Pleasant, comfortable cottage

Well equipped cottage in pretty village, with walks, pub/shop etc in village; very quiet lane & you go to sleep listening to the river flowing by. Everything indoors worked well and hosts generously left condiments, sauces, oils, tea etc for use. Bathroom clean and duvets/ pillows etc of good quality. Really liked East Devon & all in all, had a lovely week here.

Good place to say.

The host communicated really well. The cottage was comfortable with no lack of equipment and even some basic food stuffs. Perfect for two people. We loved sitting out in the garden too.The only slight criticism was that the cottage smelt a bit damp. Not surprising due to its proximity to a nearby river.

Lovely cottage

Lovely cottage, good location. Really well equipped and comfortable. Couple of lovely winter nights in, playing games and watching movies. We went to Sidmouth, walk on the beach at Dawlish. Bowling in Exmouth on a rainy day, arcade at Paignton and a lovely day in Lyme Regis on the beach. Would also recommend ice-rink at West point if you're staying in December/ early Jan, kids loved it (15 and 11 yo). Would definitely recommend. Friendly emails and communication from the hosts. Great stay

Short Break at Topaz Cottage

The booking in process was very straightforward and we were able to access the property as instructed. I had contact with Steve, the proprietor, before our visit and he was very helpful. The cottage was exactly as shown on the photographs so met our expectations. The only concern was the parking opposite cottage as the lane was not very wide. Parking in the village was at a premium with the only alternative parking in a free car park just off the main road opposite the school. The cottage was very homely and comfortable. It had all the facilities we needed to make our stay enjoyable. There was plenty of tourist information available so we were able to make the most of our stay. Also the WiFi reception was good. I particularly liked the double bed and had really comfortable sleeps during my stay. I can thoroughly recommend this cottage.

Thank you for your great review Kathleen. Yes the lane is fairly narrow and parking is against the grassy bank opposite. It is wide enough though to park and still allow the bin lorries and tractors to pass on the odd occasion.

Character cottage in idyllic Devon village

Our stay at Topaz Cottage was comfortable and relaxing. Beautiful village setting with thatched cottages, local shop and friendly pub. All just a 5 minute drive from the beaches of Sidmouth which were perfect for swimming, canoeing and snorkelling. Turns out thick cottage walls and a river valley location make for a cool, comfortable nights sleep in the midst of an August heatwave! Steve was friendly and helpful and our whole experience was perfect. Thank you!
