Historic Riverside Setting

This 16th-century coaching inn sits on the Exe Estuary in Topsham, surrounded by antique shops and restaurants. The area features Dutch gables, Tudor cottages, and Saturday morning markets. The property has exposed beams, open fires, and wood panelling throughout the common areas.

“This is a charming place, steeped in 16th-century history yet thoroughly modern in its comforts. I particularly like its position in Topsham; it makes exploring the town's boutiques and estuary walks effortlessly appealing. The focus on local Devon fare also strikes me as a real strength.”
