Stayed one night for music event nearby. Location perfect for walking into city centre & train station. Very clean, food good, beds super comfy. Kettle, tea, coffee & towels all available to use in our room. Staff very friendly & attentive. Parking at rear was FOC - nice perk! Very quiet at night - our room was at rear. After returning from our gig on a cold wet April night, it was so so nice to open the front door and the central heating had been put on. 😊

This was perfect for a uni visit stay. Excellent location close to the station and town centre. The building is a fantastic Victorian villa with lots of quirky original features and decorated really nicely. The staff are really welcoming. Breakfast was really good and included in our rooom rare which is a bargain! We stayed in 2 rooms and the beds were really comfy. Room has everything you need though bring your own hairdryer if you have thick/long hair. Shower is fine - not overly strong but these rooms are sympathetically styled into an old Victorian building - don't expect a walk in shower with rain attachment! Would absolutely recommend and will definitely stay again.

Nice clean room, even had a small balcony! Superb location - 10 minutes walk from Exeter St. David's Railway Station, and only a 10 minute walk into Exeter City Centre. Staff very helpful and friendly, and the breakfast was excellent.

The price was good. Staff very friendly and helpful. The room was clean but small and we had to open our bags on the beds. Free parking was good. The breakfast was good.

Family room that was in its own space with a small garden was lovely, nice drinks tray which included filtered water. Complimentary toiletries also great. Bed very comfortable so had a good night's sleep. All staff where lovely making sure you had everything you needed from check in to checkout. Breakfast was superb offering vegetarian and vegan options which was a plus for me , my partner had the meat option on both the produce was excellent quality., good selection of teas and coffee, also plenty of fruit, yogurts, cereals , fruit juice etc. This is also situated within 10 minute walk from the train station and the town which was brilliant for us. We would definately start again.

This is what a B&B originally was like, a room that's like a real bedroom, comfy and cosy, with a friendly and helpful staff and creature comforts. There's a dvd player in the room and dvds or books to borrow downstairs. I really felt very comfortable and didn't have any noise from other rooms. I do wear earplugs anyway so I didn't get disturbed by traffic noise (I was in a front bedroom). I was upstairs which is not accessible if you have mobility needs (this wasn't an issue for me personally). The host offered to help with my bag. I did get an ensuite but on my way past I spied on the shared bathroom and it was pristine so I wouldn't worry if shared ones are left (it's also a little cheaper than ensuite)
