“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.”
