    “Lovely cottage and great location.”

    Difficult to say but walls are paper thin so basic noise from next door is an issue and soundproofing would be a real improvement. And perhaps a bigger tv and some form of heating in the downstairs cloakroom ! But lovely owner and had a great time.

    It's such a shame that you didn't raise your concerns with me when I visited you during Storm Bert. Had I known, I could have helped! With the wind and rain raging outside it can get pretty wild. Guest comfort is our priority, we live nearby and are always on hand to make sure that your stay is comfortable and trouble free. The heating is so efficient and the wood burner always well stocked, guests are usually toasty - especially when the weather is raging outside! I believe the cottage next door was being decorated during your stay, apologies if this affected you. Again, had I known I would have contacted our neighbours and found a way to minimise noise and impact. It's always difficult to gauge what sort of television to choose to meet everyone's needs! We hope that our choice suits the space without dominating the room and detracting from the peace and tranquility of the estuary. Property Owner

The property

On the waterfront in Lympstone, at the end of a cobbled lane, a completely refurbished semi-detached cottage in a ‘toes in the water’ position just a few yards from the water’s edge.

Fabulous water views across the bay to the harbour and over the estuary to Powderham Castle and Starcross.

Outside, a small, paved and walled area (table/chairs, bench) for alfresco dining.

Entrance from porch into living room with woodburner, smart TV/DVD, MP3 dock and small step up to dining room.

Small, smart kitchen (washing machine, microwave, fridge, electric oven/induction hob).

Downstairs loo.

From the dining room, steep stairs up to 6' lintel into a double bedroom (5' bed) with brilliant views; smart bathroom (suite, shower over bath).

More steep stairs up to a big attic bedroom with twin beds (zip-linkable to 6' double) and seating area (sloping ceiling) with comfy chairs for watching the sun sink over the distant hills.

Public car park, 400 yards.

A really well thought out, relaxing cottage, a brilliant bolt-hole whatever the time of year. Lympstone: pretty and remarkably unspoilt village between low red-stone cliffs beside the Exe estuary (sailing boats, windsurfers).

Harbour, estuary shingle beach, church, several pubs and shops, railway; stunning views.

Exmouth (sandy beaches), 3 miles; Exeter, 8; two good golf courses within 4 miles.

South West Coast Path from Lympstone to Exmouth (walk/cycle).

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
