Alongside

Alongside is a perfect holiday cottage.

It is well equipped, tastefully decorated and furnished and is in a wonderful location. We almost didn't book because there is no parking with the cottage. However, the parking in the village car park is very close and seemed safe and secure. No problems at all. We were fortunate enough to meet one of the owners. She was very friendly and helpful and it was nice to be left milk, biscuits and a bottle of wine. All in all this is a great place to spend a few days.

This property is immaculate throughout.

I actually thought I was the first guest as it was so perfect! Everything from the bedding to the appliances, carpet and sofa are excellent quality. The view from all windows is stunning and we spent many hours watching the boats and sailing school from the living room. Every morning I took about 15 steps onto the gravel beach with my dog and it was bliss! Towels, bedding and hairdryer all provided. Although there are 3 floors I found the stairs easy to manage and actually not many steps they probably make 1 normal size staircase. As mentioned there is no parking at the property but there is a carpark about 5 mins walk away and some street parking just outside the carpark. This is a minor inconvenience but we soon got used to this as the village is so pretty and welcoming you forget about the car quite quickly. The Swan Inn served lovely food and had a great atmosphere day and night… we whiled away many hours watching cyclists pass by. The Swan Inn and train station and corner shop are 2 to 3 mins walk away. This little cottage would be perfect for someone travelling alone as it’s do central to everything. Thank you ‘Alongside’.

The property description and photos accurately manage your expectations in respect of this lovely dog friendly cottage, it's facilities, accessibility, central location and nearby facilities including parking availblity, local pub, cafe and station.

The property is pristine, equipped to a high specification and delightfully furnished to maximise the space available. The bed has a comfortable mattress and quality bed linen. The stairs to 1st and 2nd floor living room and bedroom could be a challenge for the less mobile but grab handrails have been thoughtfully located to provide assistance. The property is located at the end of a small terrace "alongside" access to a small "beach" next to Peter's Tower where you can sit to enjoy the gentle lapping of the Exe Estuary tide and a sundowner watching the sun set. Trains run approx every half an hour with Exmouth, Exton and Topsham just minutes away, the latter providing a good choice of pubs and dining options.
