Grote kamer, met smaakvol ingericht. Maar vooral hondje Tilly, die steelt de show!
Veel bussen dichtbij

Ligt aan drukke weg, dus veel lawaai van buiten.
Ver uit het centrum

Pros:

This is a room on the top floor of the house, but this does not compromise privacy at all. The room is equipped with its own bathroom, a kitchenette with a pre-prepared breakfast, and everything necessary for a comfortable stay. The owners are very lovely people, always ready to help and advise on anything.
Located in a very picturesque area, within walking distance of the University of Exeter and St David’s station

The room was very spacious and light, with a comfortable seating area, and a very nice bathroom. The breakfast provision and the equipment for making drinks etc. was excellent.

We would have preferred parking off the main road.

Spotless, comfortable, great breakfast, and the perfect home-away-from-home in an ideal location.
Pros:

I had an exceptional stay with Tony and Christine. The accommodation was spotless and beautifully maintained, offering real comfort and a true joke feeling. They were warm, welcoming and genuinely thoughtful hosts who made the experience even more enjoyable. Breakfast was delicious, and the location was ideal for everything I needed. I would happily stay again and highly recommend it to others.

Pros:

We chose the place partly because of the proximity to our granddaughter's university lodging and for that it worked very well. We were comfortable and the property owners were very helpful when asked about eating places. Having our own front door key made coming and going very easy. It worked well for us.

Cons:

We could have done with some kitchen roll to act as napkins and some plastic mugs for the bathroom. The breakfast arrangements took us a little by surprise, but in fact they worked ultimately.

LUCKY US!!!!!
Pros:

What a fantastic spot to stay for 6 nights, just past Exeter St. David’s. Both Tony and Christine were exceptional hosts. They offer a cozy and quiet spot, all your own, with plenty of space, a delicious breakfast and a wonderful hot shower. Their home was extremely clean and welcoming. Both Tony and Christine were available to help with ideas, when/if needed, of things to do in and around Exeter. Why stay in a cookie-cutter hotel when you can be spoiled at their home in Exeter?

Superb
Pros:

Fabulous, in a great location on the edge of the city with lovely views. Super friendly personalised welcome. You're in the loft space, which is spacious and airy, very comfortable, spotlessly clean and beautifully appointed. Great shower en suite. Good to have an iron and ironing board. Fridge has everything to serve your own breakfast in the room (cereals, yoghurts and toast) and there's a coffee maker. Easy parking in the side streets over the weekend (not sure about weekdays). Wish we could stay longer and 100% recommend.

Cons:

Nothing.

Joli apartement mais manque total d'accessibilité
Pros:

Très joli appartement, très bien meublé.

Cons:

Apartement situé au deuxième étage avec un escalier raide et tournant. Et la maison n'est pas accessible de plein pied mais est au située en haut d'un talus avec un chemin qui fait une étage et demie et avec plusieurs marches. Tout cela devrait être mentionné dans les commentaires sur l'accessibilité. J'avais posé une question de la douche plein pied - et on m'a répondu oui et cela aurait dû lui mettre la puce à l'oreille qu'il y avait des problèmes d'accessibilité
Nous avons dû déménager après une nuit des quatre - et sans remboursement bien sûr car c'était marqué "les étages supérieurs sont accessibles par escalier" - ce qui est trop peu.

Pros:

Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen. Das Auto konnten wir in unmittelbarer Nähe, des Hauses, abstellen. Die Wohnung / Zimmer war im Obergeschoß und ist sehr gut eingerichtet / ausgebaut. Ein helles Zimmer. Wenn man die Fenster zur Straße nachts schließt und die zur Gartenseite auf lässt, ist wenig von den Straßengeräuschen zu hören. Aus den Fenstern hat man schöne Aussichten. Man konnte gut schlafen.
Der Bus zur Innenstadt hält unmittelbar vor der Tür. Kühlschrank, Kaffeemaschine waren da.

Cons:

Wir waren überrascht, dass wir uns auf dem Zimmer das Frühstück selbst gemacht haben. Wir sind damit sehr gut zurechtgekommen, da Milche, Müsli, Kaffee, Tee und Marmelade da waren. Halt - überrascht -
