“This family-run B&B strikes a pleasing balance: a quiet spot that's still an easy walk to Exeter's center and both train stations. I particularly appreciate the hosts' flexibility, and the communal breakfast sounds like a nice way to connect with other guests. It seems a solid choice if you want a personal touch and a convenient base for exploring the city.”
