About our neighbourhood
Studio 1 including kitchenette and dining table

Practical for the everyday

Every room includes a fridge, microwave and kettle — small details that make a noticeable difference when you're staying more than a night or two. You can keep breakfast simple, store fresh food from the market, or heat something up without deciding on a takeaway every evening.

Many rooms also include a proper dining area, and some feature kitchenettes for preparing straightforward meals. It means you don't have to balance a plate on the bed or plan every day around eating out. You can mix evenings out in the city with quieter ones in, depending on how the day unfolds.

Designed for real travel

Exeter often becomes more than just a stopover. With Dartmoor, the Jurassic Coast and small Devon villages within easy reach, many guests use the city as a base for exploring further afield.

On-site laundry and practical facilities mean you can pack lighter and stay flexible. You're not overpacking "just in case" or searching for services elsewhere — just settling in and letting the trip unfold at its own pace.

Don't just take our word for it.

Absolutely gorgeous! Such a lovely, beautifully decorated and clean room. The shared spaces are spotless as well and have everything you might need. Great location as well, the city centre is just a short walk away. Would love to come back!
