Lovely property. Quiet location and not far from our visits to Exeter and Topsham. Our room was large, comfortable and had all we needed for our two night stay. Tim was incredibly friendly and helpful and did everything he could to make my stay a pleasant one. Great cooked breakfast!! Would recommend! Thank you Tim.
