I stayed in a lovely room by a little patio. West facing so I watched the sun go down with a lovely view. The people at the hotel were very helpful and friendly. The laundry smelt amazing! A quaint courtyard with a water feature made a great place for a quick cuppa. There is also a lounge and dining area, both cosy. A perfect 10ish minute walk to the town and I had parking- huge plus. I would not hesitate to stay again, highly recommend.

This is a lovely property! The common area and breakfast were great. The room and bathroom were clean, well decorated, and comfortable. The neighborhood was fun! Our only complaint was no parking available but we found a spot in the street easily.

Lovely breakfast . Walkable to town centre . Great we could leave car to go shopping before check in. Only lost points - could not sit up in bed as in attic under slope . Think beds should be moved around. Some tv channels we could not watch as reception not good.

Great value choice for a night’s stay in Exeter

Very well run traditional guest house with friendly and efficient staff and in a good location for St David’s station and the city centre. Decent WiFi and an excellent breakfast with vegan and gluten free options. My single room (12) had a shared bathroom which was fine and there was a sink in my room plus a fan which was useful in the heat. Some quirks with TV reception a bit dodgy, the lamp didn’t seem to work unless I was being thick and the fan may need adjusting to avoid the noisy start but otherwise a great value choice for a night.
Vegan brekkie - the avacado was a bonus

Great staff!

Very accommodating staff. Arrived on one of the hottest days of the year. Staff member offered me an air conditioning unit. He’d also tried to keep the room as cool as possible, prior to check in. Would recommend people to stay here.
