"This is our second stay at 5 Exe Street, we enjoyed it so much last year, my kids and I were desperate to come back !"
The house felt like home the second we came through the door, it’s such a relaxing place to stay - we all slept like logs, the bed in the main bedroom is the comfiest I’ve ever slept on, the green bedroom is so peaceful and the top floor room with its view of the boats is magical. The appliances are all easy to operate and it was great to have Netflix. The proximity to the Co-op is an absolute godsend! Couldn’t think of any suggestions other than 1) My daughter did mention that a mirror on the top floor would be handy, even if mounting it on the wall is difficult, a hand mirror or fold -out one would do. 2) Oh and we couldn’t find any bin liners for the pedal bin in the kitchen ! (but we may have been being stupid and just didn’t find them !) Thank you again for a wonderful week. We loved the house and we love Topsham.

"Lovely cottage in a great location."
The only complaint was the vacuum cleaner which after using omitted a very strong smell of dogs so much that we had to open all the windows to get rid of the smell. Also the instructions couldn't be found for the washer/drier. Other than that everything was perfect and would book again. thanks.
Thank you so much for the 100% feedback and positive comments. Thanks for flagging up the hoover, I’ve just changed the bag and it seems fine, and I’ll make sure to look out the washing machine instructions. We hope to see you again. Best wishes. Property Owner

"This is an excellent holiday cottage, stylish, warm and practical."
Would highly recommend it. Really well thought out and great to stay somewhere with a decent sized bath.. good quality pots and other kitchen equipment.
The whole house is well organised and well thought out with good quality bedding and towels. Parking is a bit of pain but that's a feature of Topsham but always found places easily. Would definitely stay again.
Thank you so much for the amazing feedback! Best wishes. Property Owner

"An excellent week's stay in this lovely, convenient cottage."
It was comfortably warm--very important for a winter stay. Everything we needed was very local, so much so that we parked the car in the Holman Way car park on arrival, paid by the day remotely via RingGo (£3.70 per day) and went everywhere on foot or by bus or train. We were very lucky with the weather, which was ideal for bird-watching within a short walk of the cottage.
We shall be recommending to our friends, particularly those who do not drive/have a car and we hope to return sometime.

"Property was amazing."
Clean spacious and lovely and warm. Perfect location for walks, shopping, bus and trains. We hardly used our car, we left it at Holman Way Car Park and topped up on the RingGo App £3.50 a day - bargain. We would definitely recommend staying here and hopefully will return ourselves soon too.
Dear Mrs Rea,
Thanks so much for the feedback - I’m really glad you enjoyed your stay. Good to know we’re on the right track. Yes, the RingGo is the game changer for parking I agree. All the very best. Dan. Property Owner

Would highly recommend.

"We had a wonderful stay at 5 Exe Street."
House was very comfortable, lovely surprise welcome pack and fabulous location minutes from the estuary, shops and restaurants. Topsham is a delightful town - a real hidden gem with easy access to surrounding areas. Great local walks for dogs. My daughters loved the outdoor swimming pool and the recreation play area. We will definitely return for a future stay at Exe Street. Thank you

"We’ve had the most fantastic week at 5 Exe Street; the house was lovely - beautifully decorated, full of character, and clean and comfortable."
Everything you could need was there. The little courtyard garden was perfect for dining, and we ate outside every night. The house suited us perfectly as my daughters had a bedroom each, and the bedroom at the very top of the house was a great den for them to get away from us oldies, and watch the sunset and stargaze !!! The location was perfect, so handy for the local Coop and all the shops, pubs and cafes, and for travelling further afield to Exeter (we went there on the train), Killerton House, Teignmouth, Seaton and others. Can’t wait to visit again- we came home yesterday and are already missing the place !

Topsham is a lovely location. Parking is a bit of a bind as the nearest car park is 400m away but if you return to the cottage after 5pm and are out again for the day by 10am you can find roadside parking at the top of Exe street (50m away) very easily.

"The location of this cottage was wonderful being close to the quayside, shops and not far from the station."
We were able to leave our car close by for free and just use the excellent train service to explore the many places of interest in the area. The house was charming and had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend a stay here and hope to return in the future. The communication from Helpful Holidays and from the owner was welcome and informative.

"Thankyou so much for a great stay."
This cottage is lovely, very clean with modern appliances and very comfortable, plenty of room for a family of 4. The courtyard garden, although small, was fantastic to sit out in with my book and also for meals in the evening. The house is a short walk to the quayside one way and shops the other way. A great location for enjoying a walk to watch the sunset in the evening and also along the Goat Walk, it’s very peaceful. It is also in a great position to be able to explore other areas nearby, we did trips out to Sidmouth and enjoyed a walk along The Byes from Sidford to Sidmouth, Budleigh Salterton, Beer and Charmouth. Killerton House is also nearby and well worth a visit. There are plenty of places to eat out in Topsham too but at this time booking is essential due to new safety measures in place. Thankyou again for a great stay

"I don’t know what to say about the most amazing, delightful holiday home we were so lucky to stay in."
The location, the quality, the comfort of the home with everything in it for all ages, the books, the games for staying in days, everything you could possibly need. The view and 2 minute walk to the river one way with the 2 minute walk to the shops needed the other way. So quiet, peaceful and relaxing. I highly recommend staying here, it’s perfect!
