Clean, authentic charm, nice lounge and gardens and they provided a good breakfast. The room was comfortable, bathroom worked well and the towels were excellent.

Location

We had two rooms, my wife and myself plus two friends, and we were primarily staying in this area as we were going to Sandy Park for the Exeter Chiefs vs Harlequins Rugby match, which was just a 10 min taxi ride. So my wife did some research and Topsham seemed a perfect location and good reviews on Booking.com. Well the location was excellent, it was about 2 mile walk to Topsham (or No. 57 bus), to a stunning village by the estuary. Some lovely riverside pubs (one by a big Antiques place), plus a very nice walk called the "Goat Walk" past the RSPB hide which leads down to a riverside walk and probably the best Indian restaurant meal we have ever had at "Denley's Essence of India". On the Saturday we also took in the Pebblebed Vinyard 2 hrs Tour. The George and Dragon, was a charming "olde" type pub, with modern rooms extending off the side and back. Lovely bar area and a nice garden to the rear with loads of tables. The staff were so friendly, the check-in was painless and quick (done online ahead of time) and the rooms were clean, practical, not huge, but everything you would expect, nice cubicle shower, bed a little on the firm side but with a nice view over the surrounding area. Breakfast was not including in our room bookings, however it uses the restaurant area, nicely laid out and was orderable via a menu on the day. Eggs benedict was superb, and the Full English was a whopper (with delicious sausages and cherry Toms on the vine (nice touch). I can only imagine that the restaurant food is also as good as it looked. We will be coming here again, for next Chiefs vs Quins match and may even use it is an overnight when traveling to Cornwall. You also must drop into the Darts Farm shop just a few hundred yards down the road, but be prepared to spend more than you first thought, just looks (food and drink) stunningly laid out, the mature cheddar cheese especially nice.

Comfy bed. Arrived late on a bike staff were very helpful. Found safe storage for my bike.

Breakfast was very good but could have been hotter. Cleanliness was excellant.

It was set in beautiful surroundings with comfortable rooms

Excellent location Excellent food and beverages available Excellent and reasonably price breakfast

Breakfast was good location poor, facilities poor, restaurant closed on arrival.

It was close to the Cathedral which is why I booked it. I loved the history of the house and grand but homely feel of the place. The breakfast was delicious and I would recommend it especially with the added mushrooms. I had tofu, roast tomatoes, spinach and large field mushrooms on sourdough. You don't have to be a vegetarian to like this!!

Liked the location and the chain. We have stayed in St Ives, Falmouth & Salcombe numerous times and this was our first time in Topsham.
