“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.”

fantastic b&b with great breakfast
helpful information short walk clean room nice touch
The staff were very cute upon arrival. they provided helpful information about local dining options. the location proved perfect. It was a short walk to the train station, town center, and university campus. i appreciated the cleanliness and coziness of the room as well as the thoughtful inclusion of tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and chocolates.
The shower temperature was difficult to regulate. It switched quickly between very hot and very cold.

smooth check-in informed staff ideal location cramped bedroom noisy street difficult parking
the check-in experience was smooth. i was shown to the triple room. i was also informed about breakfast timings. the location was ideal for the train station.
The bedroom felt very cramped. There were not enough sockets. the street outside was very noisy in the early morning, though i had to keep the window open because it was warm. parking was difficult. I struggled to find a space even with a parking voucher.
