This family-size lodge is a functional and charming home for travellers looking to be within reach of Exeter's city centre. Note that the home is set within cemetery grounds which might not be to everyone's taste, although we think the surroundings are rather beautiful. Inside, the country-style decor and traditional features create a lovely space to curl up and unwind after a long day. You'll also have access to the newly-renovated garden, however, the busy road next to the entrance of the home does draw in some traffic noise. Location-wise, it's just a ten-minute stroll down to Exeter Canal and a five-minute drive into the city.

About Exeter
Exeter is centred on its pretty Cathedral Close, whose manicured lawns are surrounded by charming historic buildings. Cafes spill out onto the green under the steeple of the towering Anglican cathedral, and in December, the courtyard lights up with Christmas market stalls. The roads nearby are filled with shops, restaurants, and the super-sleek Princesshay covered arcade. But the narrow, winding Gandy Street is the most interesting – it’s thought to...
