From the owner

Courtyard Cottage is a very attractive and beautifully restored 17th century home in the very heart of Topsham. It is in a quiet cobbled courtyard just a few meters from the high street with its charming cafes, shops, restaurants and pubs. The waterfront is only 200 meters away as are the outdoor swimming pool and tennis courts.

The property is has fairly steep oak stairs and is not suitable for guests with mobility issues.

The ground floor features a fully equipped quality oak kitchen/dining room with a gas woodburner, dishwasher, washer/dryer, Nespresso, cleaning materials and essentials such as light breakfast, tea, coffee, etc.

On the first floor is a comfortable lounge which has a large sofa and TV. The bathroom, with bath and shower over is also on the first floor while the large bedroom with double bed and plentiful storage is on the second floor. The bench in front of the cottage offers a good spot to sit in the sun and enjoy a coffee or glass of wine.

It is possible to park in the street within a few meters of the cottage although there is not a designated parking spot and there is a maximum stay of one hour during the day. There is a paying car park (free overnight) opposite. There are also residents permits you can purchase from me at £2 per day.

There is a supplement for pets of £15 per stay. The outside space is not gated so pets cannot be let out unattended.

A lovely cottage in the heart of town. Walking distance of all amenities. A very relaxing stay. Very quiet despite being in centre of town.

Easy booking great communication. Spotlessly clean with everything you would need for a break away, we could not fault this cottage at all. Look forward to returning sometime soon.
