The hostess Tricua, was really helpful and friendly. It is nice to see someone and be welcomed. She gave us some scones, cream,jam, muffins and cereal which was really kind and much appreciated. The hot tub was a real bonus after a long day's walking.

We had two rooms, my wife and myself plus two friends, and we were primarily staying in this area as we were going to Sandy Park for the Exeter Chiefs vs Harlequins Rugby match, which was just a 10 min taxi ride. So my wife did some research and Topsham seemed a perfect location and good reviews on Booking.com. Well the location was excellent, it was about 2 mile walk to Topsham (or No. 57 bus), to a stunning village by the estuary. Some lovely riverside pubs (one by a big Antiques place), plus a very nice walk called the "Goat Walk" past the RSPB hide which leads down to a riverside walk and probably the best Indian restaurant meal we have ever had at "Denley's Essence of India". On the Saturday we also took in the Pebblebed Vinyard 2 hrs Tour. The George and Dragon, was a charming "olde" type pub, with modern rooms extending off the side and back. Lovely bar area and a nice garden to the rear with loads of tables. The staff were so friendly, the check-in was painless and quick (done online ahead of time) and the rooms were clean, practical, not huge, but everything you would expect, nice cubicle shower, bed a little on the firm side but with a nice view over the surrounding area. Breakfast was not including in our room bookings, however it uses the restaurant area, nicely laid out and was orderable via a menu on the day. Eggs benedict was superb, and the Full English was a whopper (with delicious sausages and cherry Toms on the vine (nice touch). I can only imagine that the restaurant food is also as good as it looked. We will be coming here again, for next Chiefs vs Quins match and may even use it is an overnight when traveling to Cornwall. You also must drop into the Darts Farm shop just a few hundred yards down the road, but be prepared to spend more than you first thought, just looks (food and drink) stunningly laid out, the mature cheddar cheese especially nice.

Very clean and tidy room, had a nice shower, and was very quiet . The only interaction I had with a staff member is when I checked in, and he was very welcoming and polite.

The accomodation is sited at the top of a sloping field with great views over the River Exe to Exmouth. The host (Tricia) provides an electric buggy (Daisy) for residents to use to move up and down the field as required - great fun. There was a bowl of fresh eggs courtesy of the resident chickens, a jar of yummy chocolate biscuits, individual plates of scones, muffin, biscuit, portions of butter and jam awaiting our arrival, with a pot of cream and a bottle of milk in the fridge - delicious and much appreciated start to the holiday. Washing liquid, plenty towels and condiments all provided. The hot tub is a large double ended oval shape and this was ready to use immediately - perfect end to our evenings. Tricia is the loveliest, friendly lady and easy to chat to when around. If I'm ever down in that area again I will definitely stay at Violet May's retreat, wish we could have stayed longer.

Starcross is a small village and suffers from being on the A379 which can be quite congested in peak season and with commuters especially at the pick point next to the former Courtney Arms.
It has excellent links via public transport and is situated on the edge of an area rich in wildlife including world renowned migratory bird sanctuary.

So much to do and explore locally - excellent cycling routes, family activities and traditional pubs with easy train/ferry access to Exeter and other coastal towns. Probably more suitable for mature/families/couples than youngsters looking for a wild club scene, but a rich selection of things to do for all ages in the vicinity.
