    Exeter Holiday Cottages

    Perched at the mouth of the River Exe, the historic city of Exeter is a perfect base from which to explore South Devon. The magnificent Exeter Cathedral is the city's Gothic focalpoint and it presides over a lively quayside and vibrant town centre. Meanwhile, the dramatic Dartmoor National Park is just a short drive away, offering lots of family-friendly hiking and cycling opportunities. Or head to the South Coast for Devon's glorious golden beaches.

    If you're after that home-from-home feeling, our self-catering cottages in Exeter will give you all the cosy atmosphere you're looking for. For maximum convenience, choose one of our city centre homes that are just a short walk away from Exeter's restaurants and pubs. If you fancy something a bit more rural, why not look at our barn conversions or country lodges, on the outskirts of the city. We even have dog-friendly cottages with safe and private gardens for Fido to enjoy.

    Of course, all of our self-catering holiday homes come fully furnished and equipped with all the essentials like linens, towels and cooking equipment. But don't stop there; many cottages in our collection have luxury add-ons like hot tubs, for a more romantic break. And with our best-price guarantee, these don't have to come with a luxury price-tag. Whatever you're looking for, our friendly team will help you find it - so give us a call and book your Exeter break today!

    ## More locations in Devon While Exeter is ideally located for exploring Devon's fantastic beaches, moorland and countryside, if you're happy to look a bit further afield then we highly recommend putting these other top destinations on your list. * [North Devon District](https://www.snaptrip.com/holiday-cottages/north-devon-district) * [Torquay](https://www.snaptrip.com/holiday-cottages/torquay) * [Brixham](https://www.snaptrip.com/holiday-cottages/brixham) * [Woolacombe](https://www.snaptrip.com/holiday-cottages/woolacombe) * [Croyde](https://www.snaptrip.com/holiday-cottages/croyde)

    What our customers say about their holidays

    • Dawn - Verified booking

      What a perfect holiday!

      From looking and booking, to arrival and departure all instructions were easy to follow and communications were excellent. Even a local road closure and re-route for easy travel were sent to us prior to arrival. There are covid - care measures in place and the cottage and grounds are immaculately kept. There was a lovely afternoon tea welcome pack with homemade Devon scones and clotted cream and milk in the fridge. Angela and Stuart are wonderful hosts, nothing is too much trouble for them and they have thought of everything and more to ensure a relaxing and stress-less stay. The cottage is really well equipped with high quality furnishings & home wares - basically everything you'll need. Even surprised and relieved to find some scales as being diabetic, I have to weigh out my food and I'd forgotten to take some. Eco-friendly cleaning materials are provided as are Fairy liquid and Fairy non-bio washing pods to use as the properties utilise non mains water and waste treatment. There is also recycling facilities and waste bags supplied. There's a smart TV which you can use Netflix etc from your own account and good wifi signals. Also have laundry / ironing facilities etc. Honestly they've thought of everything. Everything is scrupulously clean, the beds are really comfortable and everything looks new. The cottage is in really pretty grounds, beautiful hanging baskets and flowers and own private patio and small garden, but you are welcome to use the field at the rear for sport (we played petanque & badminton - but it was too hot to do much more during our wonderful heat-wave week!) The electrically heated pool is well maintained, cleaned and serviced daily and is a great size for families. There is a covid- care rota system in place currently for the cottages to ensure safe and equally use of the pool. If you are going out for the day - ask the neighbouring cottage to swap or change times with you. We did and lazed around for a few days - so basically had the pool area to ourselves - heaven ! The cottages are also dog friendly and there's a big dog walking field just to the rear of the cottages as well as good walks nearby and although dog friendly, there's not one hair or doggy smell to be found anywhere. It's really, really clean. Its in a beautiful spot within easy access of Ottery-St-Mary, Exeter and beautiful beaches of Sidmouth, Exmouth, Sandy Bay and a little further the gorgeous Jurassic Coast. We're already planning to return...... if you're in any doubt about booking here - don't be - its gorgeous and you wont be disappointed. Thank you Angela and Stuart and Helpful Holidays - can't wait to visit again !

    • Yasmin - Verified booking

      Myself, my partner and my dog stayed in Orchard Cottage for two weeks during April, overall we had a very enjoyable time and wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

      On arrival we initially struggled to find the cottage as the sign displaying 'Orchard Cottage' is very small and hard to see when you're driving so a slightly larger sign may be welcomed by future guests. We were greeted by homemade lemon drizzle cake (which was still warm), fresh bread and milk which was a very nice touch. The kitchen is very well stocked with all sorts of utensils and cooking equipment, full size fridge freezer, dishwasher (with tablets provided by Val) and washing machine. The lounge is super spacious and the ideal chill out space, two very comfortable sofas with cable tv and a log fire. The twin bedroom we didn't use so I can't comment on that, however the double bed in the main bedroom is super comfortable and has been redecorated since the photos were taken on the website (the walls are no longer pink and the furniture has changed slightly). The bathroom is functional, however the water pressure for the shower is terrible. You have to put the hot water tap on full blast which only provides a hot trickle of water, if you turn the cold water tap even the smallest amount it changes from red hot to ice cold - however you get a nice pressurised shower if you do have the cold water tap on albeit very cold (which we could only cope with for about 2 days). It resulted in us having to bath every night, which is inconvenient if you want to be in and out quickly. The garden is spacious and the resident sheep in the adjoining field fascinated my dog for the whole two week period. Val provided us freshly laundered bedding and towels after one week which was greatly appreciated. There is ample off road parking just outside the front door of the cottage. There is an abundance of leaflets in the very bottom drawer in the kitchen giving you plenty of attractions and events to visit whilst down there, even highlighting some dog friendly places. We went on a couple of Stuart Line Cruises from Exmouth which allow dogs and thoroughly enjoyed it - something I would definitely recommend. We felt very relaxed and Val is a very friendly and welcoming host.

    • Joy - Verified booking

      This property has such potential to be 5 star but sadly the issue of a shower that just trickles and a hot water bath tap that just dribbles, that has been mentioned in previous reviews, remains unfixed.

      Also the oven was in desperate need of a deep clean. The double bed although a soft comfy mattress was oddly short (our feet stuck out over the edge) and the mattress bed linen was not deep enough so kept crumpling up which made for uncomfortable sleeping and one of the two single beds creaked badly with the slightest move so was not at all relaxing to sleep in. Add to this the surcharge of an additional £20 for fuel when there is just one storage heater to heat the open plan downstairs, unless you use the logburner (which we struggled to get going) for which you still have to pay £3 for each extra bundle of wood, or a noisy fan heater that eventually stopped working brings this property down to just two stars in our opinion. If only the owners take note and act then all can be put right which would enable a higher rating to do justice to this very roomy and potentially very comfortable property that is totally dog friendly. The location feels very private with lovely countryside views despite being attached to the owners and very near to a major new build development (despite the property address it is effectively Cranbrook and some distance from the village of Whimple). It is worth noting there is no pub or shop nearby but this was not an issue for us as the location is ideal to explore the section of East Devon Coast from Exmouth down to Lyme Regis, and is close to Exeter and is just 15 minutes from Killerton National Trust house and grounds.

    • Vanessa - Verified booking

      We had a lovely weeks stay at orchard cottage, it was a very accommodating cottage.

      The beds were super comfy and the gesture of homemade bread and lemon cake along with milk left in the fridge on arrival was a lovely gesture. The beaches which were local to the cottage (around 20mins) were mainly shingle beaches but we did take a liking to Exmouth beach(long stretch of Sandy beach) the far end is also dog friendly ( a lot of beaches aren’t dog friendly throughout may-sept) The cottage however if anything maybe a little dated - storage heaters and no radiators. Some recommendations if any, is to update the pictures on Sykes website( the garden is much smaller than expected). Update the info folder within the cottage as some info was dated back to 2010!! A replacement of the high chair, it wasn’t the cleanest and quite a few tare marks. A deep clean throughout the bathroom too, as the grouting round the bath has turned black and cobwebs and dust were visible on arrival. The bedding and towels also had a musty smell to them, as they mustn’t of been fully dried. Following on from these recommendations the oven could do with a thorough clean and was very difficult to know if the oven was on,due to there being no light in the oven and lastly we all decided that for the size of the living area the tv is slightly on the small size. We had a lovely stay but a few things that needed improvement.

    • Daniel - Verified booking

      We had a lovely stay at The Coach House.

      The property itself was well furnished and very comfortable. Great location and we soon got used to the narrow lanes leading to the property. Would highly recommend, however, we would make the following comments: we found the stairs quite slippy (no shoes allowed upstairs) and our dog fell down a couple of times; maybe some grips could be fitted? Upon arrival I was worried regarding our dog and their beautiful new carpets upstairs; maybe provide an outside tap or water butt to help clean dog's feet? Also, we struggled getting off the drive (it was very wet with all the rain) as it's quite muddy and your turning onto a very narrow lane; maybe try and level the end of the drive? All these points are just my opinion and NOT critical. As already said, would highly recommend and would return ourselves. Thank you to the owners for messaging us about an item of clothing we left behind. Many thanks for a great stay.
