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.
We had a great stay at Wisteria Cottage, it was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed for a great stay. The location was also excellent with easy access to Exeter and beyond, plus a couple of minutes walk from the shops and riverside at Topsham.
Wisteria cottage was a very comfortable and cosy place to stay. Everywhere was clean and in good condition.The bed was very comfortable with high quality linen. The location was within 2 minutes walk of the village centre and extremely quiet even though it was on the main road. The parking was an absolute bonus.We would very happily stay here again.
Great location with lots of walks. 5min from railway station. Lots of places to have a drink and relax. The cottage has everything we needed and felt very comfortable. Will definitely be back.
Wisteria cottage is comfortable and convenient. Having a secluded garden to relax in was a great bonus. Parking is difficult in Topsham so having a parking spot was so useful. We would book again.
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.
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!
The property was exactly as listed, very comfortable, with a very well equipped kitchen. Sadly our stay was cut short by a family emergency but we would definitely stay here again.
We were so impressed with Topsham. We couldn’t have had better time! Wisteria Cottage was everything we hoped it would be. Very well equipped and in a great location. We really loved our stay and wished it was longer
Beautiful little cottage. It was a very pleasant stay.
In terms of facilities, the cottage had everything you would need for a family holiday with two teenagers.
Bus stops right outside the front door so you can get straight on to Exeter, or Exmouth.
My Mum and I had a fabulous Christmas stay in this gorgeous cosy cottage. Beautiful welcome with Christmas decorations, chocolates and a bottle of bubbly. Exceptionally clean and well equipped. Such a great location. And parking a bonus as a short walk round the corner. We will be coming back hopefully in the summer as a great spot to walk into Topsham.
