Recently renovated Grade II listed property that has undergone a complete overhaul. This home has been decorated with a modern, yet sympathetic finish, complimenting the beautiful character features. You'll be on the 3rd floor, providing privacy and plenty of light. We have kept a neutral palette throughout, but added hints of colour to provide a warm and welcoming space for our guests. Please see below note on the location.
The apartment comprises a well-equipped kitchen, a dining table snuggled into the corner of the living space that seats 4, and a very comfortable sofa that doubles up as an additional bed. There is a beautiful decorative fireplace with original tiles taking pride of place at the front of the lounge area and this is surrounded by ceiling height shelving that really emphasises the lofty, spacious feeling in the home. The bathroom room has a brand new shower with a beautifully tiled cubicle and the bedroom has a double bed, with window seats and some hanging space for clothing.
This is a space where Charles Dickens once stayed, as commemorated via the blue plaque at the front of the building, and as such is very old. There are some quirks such as very slightly sloping floors, but we feel this adds to the charm of the place and hope you do too.
The home is situated on a bustling, city-centre street, which is part of its appeal, being right in the heart of the action. Please be aware you may experience some street noise at night, particularly at the weekend. Please read the reviews to get the opinions of previous guests prior to making your booking. We are unable to take responsibility for any noise that is created externally to the home.
The home and garden or the entirety of your stay. You will not share any spaces with anyone else.
We have a dedicated Guest Services Team who are on hand to help with any issues you may have during your stay. Please contact us through the Airbnb messaging service for the quickest response. We also have an Exeter based team who are able to assist with any problems that require an in-person solution.
You are in the heart of Exeter on a bustling central street, abundant with independent shops, cafes and eateries. However, being on the 3rd floor, you have enough distance to allow for a restful night's sleep. The area is very popular with locals and many of the shops have their regulars, providing a very welcoming atmosphere. The apartment is also a short distance from the Quay where there are plenty of water activities and quirky shops to mosey around.
Enjoy the collection of Charles Dickens books on the bookshelves. However please handle with care as they are very old and delicate!
The bedding and towels for the sofa bed is stored in the chaise section of the sofa.
We strive to provide as much information as possible to ensure our listing is accurate. Please make sure you read the listing thoroughly before booking. Whilst we are on hand to assist with any issues during your stay, we are unable to make changes to anything within the home to suit individual needs. The property is to be taken as it is. If you need to get in touch, please do so through Airbnb messaging, or the support line provided in the guest manual (sent previously by email)
If there is a sofa bed in the home, it will not be set up as a bed. We presume you will want to use the sofa for its main use, as a sofa until the night time.

The holiday home is equipped with small hand soaps, a couple of toilet rolls and basic kitchen items such as a sponge, washing liquid, bin liners and salt & pepper. If you want anything specific, such as liquid hand soap or kitchen roll, please ensure you bring this with you for your stay. We do not supply additional consumables, this includes toilet rolls.
If you wish to extend your stay, you must check with our team. The earlier you check, the better as we are sometimes unable to reschedule cleaning to suit. We must provide at least 48 hours notice to our cleaners.
