The bungelow was clean and well equipped. Very spacious. Bed was very comfortable with adequate hanging and drawer space. Great to have grab rails for the less steady. A good location being only 10 minutes from the co op and public houses. The accommodation stayed cool even in the high temperatures. The only comment would be that a pint of milk and some tea bags would have been appreciated as shopping after a long drive would be a step too far!

This bungalow needs a thorough clean, there were cobwebs and spiders in at least half of the rooms, and also in the bottom corners of the wardrobes, why would you hang your clothes in them? The cleaning needs to include moving furniture and cleaning beneath and behind it.There was half a roll of cheap toilet paper in the bathroom, so we bought our own, future guests please note! The bed linen was awful, not the crisp white linen we expect now. Having said all this the kitchen was well equiped and the bungalow is in a good location for the town. I feel that this accommodation is a bit overpriced.

A warm and spacious bunglaow close to the centre of Topsham. Parking round the town is dreadful so having on-site parking is a definite bonus.
