Travellers' Choice

Not just a place to sleep – we are duvets, dishes & more! For work or pleasure, we are Townhouse Exeter.

Located in a quiet corner of Exeter’s historic city centre, we are a 10-minute walk or less to Exeter St David’s & Central rail stations, as well as the High Street and the University of Exeter’s Streatham campus. Rates include B&B and ‘room only’ options to suit your tastes.

Centrally located in a quiet corner, we are a 10-minute walk to the High Street, the University’s Streatham campus, and both Exeter St David's & Central train stations. A contemporary guesthouse with nine great bedrooms to choose from, all en-suite with showers (except for one single which has a private, separate bathroom). We’ve pushed our comfort levels to the max with Hypnos beds, ‘Finer than Down’ duvets & pillows, fluffy bath sheets, and complimentary Cole & Lewis toiletries. There’s even free high-speed Wi-Fi, smart TVs, and Roberts DAB/Bluetooth radios for when you absolutely have to work or stream your favourite movie, and USB charging points to keep you going! Breakfast in your pyjamas is our thing! If booking B&B, our Breakfast Trio Hamper is delivered fresh to your door every morning to pamper you with a tasty in-room breakfast. Think buttery croissants, homemade breakfast pots of Greek yoghurt topped with fresh fruit and nuts, and a baked Townhouse Treat to put a smile on your face. We have gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan offerings too! You can also enjoy wine, beer, and bubbles in our intimate early evening resident’s bar.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

I travelled to Exeter for work and choose the Townhouse to stay. Brilliant location, friendly staff, the room was just perfect. I felt so comfortable and cosy while away from home for the night. Pillow spray to help you sleep was divine and the comfiest bed! Breakfast is delightful, delivered to your door and fresh. Would recommend to anyone, 10/10! Would have loved to spend more time! will definitely use if visiting Exeter on a leisure trip, as well as again for work! Thank you for having me!

Please do yourself a favour and settle down here for the night. Small, boutique, very friendly and the standard and decor of the place is amazing. Love the small details, sleep spray, digital radio gently piping some classical music as I walk in. Bed and Bathroom very high standard. Great value as well

We adored this comfy, cozy, quiet gem that sits on a quiet street, alongside a church, and is just a quick and pleasant walk to the lively city center with plenty of cafes and eateries as well as a couple groceries and general shopping. The duvets really are delightful. Great care has been taken to make the rooms extra inviting and the garden along the entry walkway showcases the owners love of pleasing details. The owners also jump right in to help, from hoisting luggage to providing tips for places to visit. At least one of them is usually in the residents’ lounge area. would definitely stay again if back in the area. Thanks!

Tim was the best host and Ken's breakfast in the room was superb. The room itself was terrific: quiet, comfortable, very clean and with a nice view towards the church at the back. The bathroom sink was a bit small but we found this with several of the places we stayed in in the U.K.

The bed is wonderful! Made for a very restful sleep. The place is wonderfully clean, very quiet and exceedingly well run by Ken and Tim. One of the best parts is that breakfast is brought to your door, which gives you that extra bit of time to be in your room and get organised for the day!

I love this small hotel which provides excellent service and very comfortable rooms. The location is superb being just a short walk away from the centre. I have stayed here numerous times and always leave feeling refreshed and relaxed. The breakfasts are delicious and are very different from the normal hotel fare. The hotel is extremely well managed and great care is taken over the bedrooms. The hosts are exceptionally friendly and helpful. I have already booked for a return visit.

Beautifully quiet spot next to a churchyard run by a very welcoming couple who have made the house lovely and quirky - check out the bowler hats. Fabulous breakfast left outside your door, with homemade cake, fresh coffee, wonderful yoghurt and gluten free options. Comfortable bed. Really convenient for wandering into town and easy to park outside.

I find the TOWNHOUSE perfect for myself, I travel down to Devon every month on business, with no direct need to stay in Exeter, but I do so as this is perfect for myself, the location is great for me to walk either into town or visit a restaurant The rooms have never disappointed me , spacious, relaxing and comfy Breakfast is great, brought to my room on the morning at agreed times to suit me. The little quirky touches are lovely, the music / radio as you walk in, just chills and relaxes you. Overall it’s just a great stay, good value Best thing of all is the personal touch of inviting you back and clear instructions for arriving, your room etc

Very friendly welcome from Tim who let us in personally and gave us all the details about the house. Our room (7) was roomy and light (west facing). Nicely decorated and with fresh coffee available in the room. A large double bed and a single bed, armchair and table with a couple of chairs for breakfast. Bathroom a little small (fitted within the original room), but serviceable. Breakfast was great. Definitely worth having. Enough for us both plus a lunchtime snack (bakewell tart). Served unobtrusively and on time. Nice lounge and garden, although we didn't use them. Towels fluffy and new and quality cotton sheets on the beds. Steep stairs to the rooms but fine to go up with a small suitcase. Highly recommendable!
