Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time at this luxurious apartment. It was our first break anywhere since Covid and with a vulnerable husband we couldn’t have asked for more! It was spotlessly clean and sanitised and we felt really confident and safe! The owner was extremely helpful and we had great, prompt comms.We’ve stayed in so many properties in Devon over the years but this definitely topped them all. The king size bed was so comfortable; the en-suite shower heavenly. The kitchen was so well equipped and the entire apartment was beautiful and so spacious. My son loved his bedroom (and the painting that looked like a photo!) and it was a nice touch to have a few family games, Netflix and Devon guides to hand!It was a short, easy walk to the city centre for dinner, yet the apartment was a quiet and restful retreat! Just what we needed. Perfect location for exploring Devon and the coast. We particularly loved paddle boarding at Exmouth! Thoroughly recommend and will be back!

A truly stunning property!Absolutely perfect in every way.- Spacious- Immaculately prepared.- Fully equipped with everything you could possibly need.- Ideally located within 20 minutes walk of the city centre, the Quay or the University.We have stayed in quite a few excellent properties in the past when vacationing in the UK, but this has surpassed them all by a country mile.Will be top of the list for the future whenever we return to Exeter.

I would book this property again in a heartbeat. It has the feel of a luxury hotel but the privacy of your own home. Fantastic location, bright and sunny rooms, beautifully furnished and equipped, private parking, a short stroll from Waitrose supermarket. Five stars all round!
