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 -

Exceptional
Pros:

The room was large, beautiful, and quiet. Our hosts were friendly, gracious, and helpful getting the luggage upstairs. We were away from the hustle and bustle of Exeter, but close enough for a short drive to sights and restaurants.

Wonderful stay, lovely hosts.
Pros:

The upstairs loft was everything we needed for a 2 night stay. It was comfortable and spotless. We felt at home and the host were friendly and welcoming. The windows provided a wonderful breeze and blinds kept the light out. Great shower. Lovely breakfast was supplied. No problems parking. Thank you for a great stay.

Cons:

Had to be mindful of the roof angle.

Classy stay in Exeter.
Pros:

The hosts were very friendly and welcoming. The accommodation was excellent, with a really comfortable bed, sofa, mini fridge and well equipped bathroom. Quiet location and superb views.. The breakfast was provided in the bedroom which enhanced our relaxing stay. Another thoughtful touch was a welcoming personalised leaftlet that provided the WiFi code, host contact numbers and recommendations for local restaurants and pubs.. We arrived by train and were able to easily travel around by the local bus service and taxi service. A day trip by train to Exmouth proved an excellent day out. We also loved meeting Tilly,, the little friendly dog.
