Unwind in this charming, characterful apartment in the heart of the fishing village, Lympstone. Bring up to two happy hounds and your beloved human for a getaway to this remarkable cottage for visits to the beach, scenic walking trails and nights in front of the wood burner.

Cosy and welcoming, this holiday home is packed with personality and rustic features, from its original beams, authentic art pieces and olde-worlde antiques. Usher furry paws through the shared hallway and up to the apartment, where you'll be invited to relax in the spacious lounge/diner. Incredible idyllic views can be found here, with the possibility to spot wildlife, sailing boats and paddleboarders from the large sash windows. Spend the evenings cooking up a storm together in the seaside-themed kitchen space and dine at the table with Rover and Fido sneakily looking for scraps. At the end of the day, sharing a room with the kitchen, there is a super comfortable king-size bed to climb into and a separate light and fresh bathroom for soaking weary muscles.

Your canines are sure to wag their tails at the call of 'walkies' in the morning. The beach of Lympstone is just a few metres away from the accommodation and is a gorgeous stretch of dog-friendly sand that's popular with exercise enthusiasts. The dogs will also love a romp in the two green fields, less than 350 metres from the apartment. For long walks in the sunshine, the Exe Estuary Trail (0.3 miles) offers a flat, scenic route adjacent to the estuary with birdwatching opportunities and passing through pretty villages, including Topsham and Starcross. Refuel with a bowl of water and doggy treats with a stop at one of the wonderful cafes or pubs in the village.

The Roost at Riverside is a wonderful apartment with stunning views across the estuary. Ideally located for exploring the surrounding area or equally just relaxing and enjoying the view. The apartment was well equipped and spotlessly clean and the hosts were very welcoming. We had a lovely stay and would highly recommend.

It has loads of character with eye catching views through both large windows. Everything you could wish for is supplied including some great holiday reads on the book case.

The Roost was just right for two people, It was a little strange sleeping in the same space as the kitchen but not disturbing. once you got used to the fridge turning off and on. The view from the living room kitchen is to die for ,especially if you are birdwatchers, as right on the river's edge. The owners live on the site, but are not in your facRead moree and are very knowledgeable about the area and I am sure would fix any problem if there had been one. Hide

The flat is in an ideal location served by excellent transport links. A short scenic stroll into Exmouth for beach, walking along the coastal path or taking a boat trip. The village itself is lovely, with all residents and hostelries very welcoming. Highly recommended
