Take a Ferry trip across the Exe to two waterside pubs the Turf or Double Locks or a longer cruise to see the wildlife of the Exe estuary or to Exmouth’s sandy beaches.

Topsham shopping offers a mix of independent mix of boutiques, gifts, galleries, antiques, food and wine

If you are into antiques then you will love the former Customs house on the quay where there are several floors to browse at your leisure.

Amazing cottage with all the amenities you could want. Parking is a plus with plenty in walking distance. Also close to the university where we were dropping our daughter off.

We stayed at Frog Palace for a long weekend primarily to watch rugby at Sandy Park and found it to be the perfect base. It was comfortable and we had everything that we needed. Parking was a bonus as was being dog friendly. Rachel was a very attentive host.

Downstairs ok as it has been extended so there is a fully functional kitchen. Nice touches like toilet roll, hand soap, cleaning bits provided too. Back yard tatty though. 1st floor double bedroom has what should be a built in wardrobe but it was unfinished, untidy and not useable. 2nd floor double room in the attic did not have a working blind so light was coming in at all times. Bed was uncomfortable, pillows were useless and bedding tatty (for all 3 bedrooms). Slept on the sofa bed twice but no better really. No wardrobe, just a small rail to hang clothes from. Very noisy as glazing was insuffiicient Single room the same but even more noisy, like you were sleeping out on the High Street. I know it is an old house but it needs tidying up and quality beds/bedding/towels to make it an enjoyable stay. Returned home more tired than when I arrived. Cannot recommend.

Our family group of 4 really enjoyed our stay at Frog Palace in June. Comfortable living quarters & bedrooms over 3 floors gave us plenty of space. The town centre with shops & restaurants is only a short stroll away & there is a brilliant children’s playground only 2 minutes walk away near the river. The private, enclosed parking was ideal & we enjoyed eating al fresco in the courtyard outside space. WiFi a little slow, especially if using multiple devices but this wasn’t a major problem for us. Would definitely come back to stay here again.
