Though states there's on road parking this is only for two hours with no returns for 4 hours. However staff friendliness and how walkable the area is more than makes up for this.

We loved our stay at the townhouse. Stella was so quick to respond to any messages we sent and when I say messages I mean simple questions .. there was absolutely nothing to fault with the house . It was comfortable and well designed. The evening sunsets were to die for and the lift was an excellent addition we had not expected. The kitchen was well appointed and overall the house felt spacious yet homely. We would highly recommend… also just a moments walk from the villa was the excellent restaurant Carte Postale which serves amazing food and great cocktails. Also the coffee shop which made the best cafe lattes and beautiful herbal teas and super breakfasts … could want for more 10/10! Would love to return- thank you Stella

Great location midway between Exeter St David’s & Central train stations & easy walk into city centre. Cosy top floor room with comfortable bed & was very quiet during my 4 day stay. Hosts Tim & Ken were excellent, arranged late arrival for me & very informative about local area. Only negative is very small bathroom & shower, but overall a very nice stay in Exeter!

Such a lovely property, in a beautiful building, beautiful area, and beautifully decorated. The rooms were spotless and tidy and the beds, comfortable. We can't recommend this property enough. The only slight sadness is that the bathrooms are so small (can't be helped) and the main room doesn't serve breakfast. While it is offered in bedrooms, the common room on the ground floor is beautiful and larger, with the perfect table to invite people to greet one another and build community.

Charming and indulgent - the perfect bolt hole!

A delightful BnB! Everything was absolutely perfect. I was in room 7, with a separate bathroom with a tub (that I enjoyed immensely whilst I was there). Friendly and welcoming - with a delicious breakfast! Couldn’t fault it - will be going back.
