The Telstar - A boutique guesthouse near St David's station with locally sourced breakfast and historic charm

The Telstar offers single and family rooms with en suite bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, tea/coffee facilities, and free Wi-Fi. A freshly prepared breakfast, featuring grilled bacon, sausage, and eggs made to order, is served in a rustic dining room with a courtyard. The guesthouse provides a key for room and main door access, along with a comfy lounge for group gatherings. Located a 5-minute walk from St David's train station, The Telstar is also within 1 km of Exeter Cathedral, St Nicholas Priory, and Queen Street. Rooms at the back overlook the river valley, while the property itself blends historic character with modern amenities like electric kettles and free toiletries.

Pros

A key is provided for both the bedroom and main door, ensuring secure access.

The breakfast includes a range of cooked-to-order items, with locally sourced produce.

The location is convenient for public transport, just 5 minutes from St David's station.

Rooms at the rear offer views of the river valley.

The lounge area provides a communal space for groups.

Cons

Parking is limited, with only five spaces available in a narrow lane.

The proximity to the train station may result in occasional noise for light sleepers.

“What struck me about this townhouse hotel is the individual charm of each room, some boasting balconies and gramophones, alongside the proximity to Exeter St David's station. Breakfasts here are exceptional; beyond the expected full English, they contribute a real sense of welcome and set it apart from other stays. For those prioritizing convenience and character, this place certainly delivers a memorable experience.”
