“The Telstar strikes me as a particularly welcoming spot in Exeter, balancing boutique charm with practical comforts. I like that it's an easy walk to both the train station and the city centre, and the locally sourced breakfast sounds like a real treat. From what I've gathered, it's a solid choice, especially for families or anyone wanting a bit more character than a typical hotel.”
