“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.”
