- IpohboymartinBedfordshire, UK95 contributionsLovely spot by the river Exe. Many superb views, small local arts shops set in arches under the river bank.

- Jessica D25 contributionsWe were the first people in on a wet monday morning and were greeted by a very smiley and friendly Paul who offered to show us around the wonderfully well preserved priory. It was a fantastic tour and only made possible by a fab team of volunteers. The whole thing has zero funding and it's in danger of closing so if you haven't been yet, go!
Sorry we didn't have any cash but we did donate through the website after! I hope it's still open for people to enjoy for years to come.Written September 30, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sightseer7276903 contributionsThis museum is well worth a visit when in loverly Topsham, a nice cafe and garden and there is also historical tours of the town.We took the guided tour with Ian who was very nice and was obviously passionate about his home town and its history pointing out things that we would have missed with out his knowledge . Would visit again.
Walking tours of Exeter also worthwhile.

It would have been a 5/5 review except for one issue: Car Parking. Unless you’re lucky enough to get a space in the small adjacent car park, be prepared for a decent walk.Written May 1, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This very old building still stands and plays a part of local governance today of the city (700+ years later than when it was rebuilt).
So impressive! We were so lucky to have had this chance encounter to visit.

- Chrissy B4 contributionsWe had the pleasure of hiring the Quayside Distillery for our wedding reception - George and the team were the absolute best hosts, so welcoming and accommodating to our unique plans. I cannot recommend this place enough - it's beautiful inside, in a scenic location, the staff are brilliant people, the drinks are expertly crafted and I will forever hold this place dear to my heart for what they did to make our wedding day as special as it was.
