Location and Access

The Telstar is conveniently located a 5-minute walk from St David's train station and a 10-minute walk from the city centre and cathedral. It is 15 km from Exeter International Airport and has good bus services nearby. Nearby landmarks include St Catherine's Chapel and Almshouses (1 km), St Pancras Church (0.5 km), St Nicholas Priory (1 km), St Stephen's Church (1 km), Statue of Richard Hooker (1 km), and Redvers Buller (0.3 km).

Services and Facilities

The Telstar is a traditional guest house with friendly staff and customer service. It offers a bright dining room and a comfortable lounge. Ironing facilities and heating are available. Parking is tight, with a narrow lane leading to the small number of spaces available. The property has a terrace and provides free toiletries.

“This boutique property strikes me as a characterful choice in Exeter, especially for those who appreciate unique décor and a personal touch. I see the locally sourced breakfast as a standout feature, and the easy access to Exeter's attractions adds definite appeal. The limited free parking is a notable perk in this location, though arriving early seems essential.”
