Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Located in St Leonards, one of Exeter’s most sought-after areas, this home is moments from independent cafes, artisan bakeries, delis, and boutiques. And the city centre is within walking distance too. The home-from-home has everything you’ll need for a fuss-free stay, including a comfortable lounge, eat-in kitchen, and private patio. You can also use the communal garden here. We think this place is ideal for a couple or solo traveller wanting a peaceful location close to the heart of the city.
