We have stayed at the old town cottage a few times now and we love it. Cottage is well equipped with everything we need. It is a very short walk to the beach and town. It has parking for 2 cars which is fabulous. We came with my parents and brother so 7 of us in total. The area is quite flat and everywhere is walkable. You can also catch a bus to Exeter, Exmouth etc which is lively for a change of scenery. We have already booked to come back again at new year.

A lovely cottage in the very heart of the town. Very traditional with uneven floors and low ceilings upstairs but they only add to the charm. A small but tranquil courtyard and a huge bonus with 2 parking spaces! Everything was clean and comfortable and we would definitely return. Highly recommended.
