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.

Today, Topsham has an upmarket, cosmopolitan flavour with a mix of stylish boutiques, antique shops, galleries and award-winning food shops and restaurants. Visitors can enjoy memorable sunsets over the estuary, walks in the nature reserve and summer boat trips.

Exeter and the long sandy beaches at Exmouth are 10 mins drive.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors. On the ground floor there’s a cosy sitting room with comfortable seating, a flat-screen Smart with Freeview, Netflix and Amazon Prime and a DVD player. The sitting room leads to a spacious, well-equipped eat-in kitchen with all mod cons - including gas cooker, fridge, freezer, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine. 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.

Due to the central location of the cottage there is a private parking space 250m (around 4 mins walk) from the property for the guests’ exclusive use. Please also be aware that a level of road noise may be experienced.

A really comfortable house, well equipped and handy for Topsham’s public transport, shops and pubs. We had a lovely few days over New Year and would definitely return - Alex was really accommodating and everything was great.

September at Wisteria Cottage.
Lovely cosy cottage in a picturesque town. Interesting museum revealing Topsham’s history enjoyed with Devonshire cream tea in the surrounding garden. . Easy access to parking appreciated. Great selection of shops and pubs. We visited Sidmouth,Exmouth and Beer all within a comfortable driving distance . A trip to Cornwall to visit the Eden Project was also very much enjoyed.

Perfectly placed
The cottage was spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Having the nearby parking space was a great advantage, although everything in Topsham is within easy walking distance. We’ve already sent the link to friends who are interested and we would definitely stay here again!
