Cottage vacation rentals in Exeter

Debbie’s place is a little piece of paradise, the setting is stunning, the gardens are fantastic and the cottage is warm and cosy whilst also being spacious and really well laid out. We had everything we needed and immediately felt at home. The open plan kitchen into the cosy living room left us all feeling connected, utility space was really useful, conservatory with stunning views allowed us to dine together and relax during the day. Outside area is also stunning for meals on the patio and bbq’s and the hot tub was great to relax in on an evening looking at the stars in peace and tranquility.. there’s a slight walk up to the property across a field but once you’re in the cottage and its gardens it’s worth every step. Great for the dogs too. Loads to do in the area, our highlight was Lyme Regis beach.. many thanks to Debbie and everyone who made us feel so welcome. We would go back to Debbie’s place in a heartbeat!

Surridge Cottage is beautiful, as soon as we arrived down the lane we knew it would be perfect and it was and more. The cottage has been beautifully restored with high end finishes. Even the heated floor in the bathroom didn't go missed (my daughter loved it). Great location, we took a few trips out. Went into Lyme Regis and took the children to Crealy. If you want a private country break in a cottage, you won't beat it. Thank you, The Mellors x

Iveta was a fantastic host and everyone we met at Timbercombe was incredibly friendly. The lodge is super cosy and perfect in every way. All of our expectations were exceeded! Amazing hot tub, squeaky clean accommodation and mega comfy. We walked miles with our dog every day, leaving completely refreshed. Thanks so much!

A really lovely home. Just like the photos and had a wonderful stay. Hosts were great at responding to questions. Will definitely revisit.

What a great place to relax and stay at, this is one of the best Airbnb’s we have started at. Mark and Tracey were welcoming and made us feel right at home. The spa is brilliant and was always set out really well with everything ready for when we wanted it in the evening. If you come here and decide to not have the in house chef experience, then you really are missing out. It was absolutely amazing and we were so full but the tastes were superb.

Very lovely place, me and my girlfriend stayed here for a weekend and had no complaints. The host responded quickly and the property looked exactly like the photos. All the extra little touches like the fire wood, slippers, eggs and etc really made us feel welcome. Overall we really enjoyed our stayed and would happily stay here again.

We had a beautiful week at The Cart Barn, beautiful location with beautiful views and a private garden which was perfect for our pooch! we spent most of our evenings watching the beautiful cows out the garden! the hot tub was a lovely addition and the barn had everything we needed to make ourselves and our dog feel at home! Some great recommendations in the welcome book and from the owners of local things to do! Will definitely be returning in the future! :)

What an amazing stay! It was everything we were hoping for and more. The cottage had everything we needed and also some nice personal touches too. It was so relaxing sitting in the hot tub, listening and watching the birds . The weather was a little unsettled for us but not a problem, as we could sit in the summer house, and look out at the lovely view and our neighbours the sheep! Claire was very responsive with messaging and will look forward to visiting again soon. 🙂

Absolutely lovely stay, very clean and the bed was so comfortable. The little garden out front is beautiful and spotted a few rare birds. Appreciated the recommendations from Bec 😊

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to return! Harbour Cottage was lovely and clean and in a perfect location. It had everything we needed and more, the cream tea that was left for us when we arrived was a wonderful touch too. Plenty of beautiful beaches to explore nearby and some wonderful restaurants, we highly recommend!

Claire was very pleasant and helpful. The Piggery is an amazing place to stay. We knew if a problem had arisen we could contact her easily. We tended to cook at The Piggery in the evening and found lots of very useful utensils in the kitchen to make dinner. Very good kitchen appliances and an extremely comfortable bed. Our Daushaund enjoyed the toys Claire had thoughtfully put in a basket for visiting dogs - even a box for doggy poo bags! The bathroom was fabulous, especially the walk in shower. The bed was extremely comfortable and we loved the automatic blinds and windows. The scenery surrounding The Piggery is beautiful and very relaxing and peaceful. Sidmouth and Exmouth were both easy to get to, with the beach at Exmouth being sandy. Would definitely recommend.

it's our second stay at Fish Cottage, the kids love it, we love it. As we are originally from devon we can access all our favourite places on day trips due to the location so really works for us Cottage is spacious, interesting and really well equipped and comfortable for our family. will continue each year if we can !! thankyou

Beautiful house in a perfect spot / base for our holiday. Luke was a great host, helpful, nothing was too much trouble and we would definitely go back again.

The converted stable was rustic and lovely, with a unique staircase and beautiful surroundings. The orchard on the property was beautiful to wander around. Right on the edge of Dartmoor National Park giving us plenty of choices for walking with the dogs and plenty of pubs to choose from in the evenings.

Harriet's place was amazing. Harriet was very responsive and proactive with helping us with our late check in. The house looks really nice in photos, but it's even better than in real life. We have only one regret, that we couldn't stay longer!

Stunning location, very friendly, helpful and accommodating hosts. Plenty for the children to see and do, with plenty of space and a large garden including some outdoor games to play. Our girls loved staying here and we can’t wait to visit again.

We had an amazing stay for 3 nights at the Granary with our kids. We got a warm welcome from the lovely cat couscous! The place was clean, spacious, tidy and had everything that we needed for a comfortable stay. There were enough of board games, books and toys as well as outdoor space to keep the kids entertained. The hosts Karl and Helena were very friendly and helpful. Their son was also very kind and friendly with our kids, even sharing some of his stuff to play. This quiet location was ideal for us to explore north Devon and the Exmoor areas. Overall it was a very pleasant experience, highly recommended.

What an amazing place! It was so peaceful and so cosy, and just a short walk to the most incredible pub. Pip and Toby were so welcoming and really wanted us to make the place feel like home. Could not recommend Lower Puddicombe Cottage more!

My third stay here and once again I found the cottage to be beautifully clean and tidy, well-equipped and cosy. I really appreciate the welcome snack basket and also the generous quantity and quality of towels and bedding. Angela is also a great host, always responsive, friendly and helpful. The location is great for visiting Chudleigh and surroundings, in a beautiful location with lovely views but still only a short walk from the village. I hope to be back again soon.

We had an amazing 3-night stay at this cottage! The hosts are super friendly and respond very quickly, which made everything extra easy. The cottage is even more beautiful in real life than in the photos—truly a gem. It’s wonderfully peaceful, right in the middle of nature, so you can really unwind. And it was spotless, which we really appreciated. In short, highly recommended if you’re looking to relax in a beautiful and quiet spot. We’ll definitely be coming back when we visit the area again!

As you walk up the lane to 13 Albion Place you step back in time. May, and the cottage gardens are in bloom. Wendy's house is an oasis in the centre of Exeter. It's quiet: no cars. It's comfortable: the beds, the linen, the sofas, the temperature, the books. Things work: the cooker, the washing machine, the hot water. Plus the house is beautiful. It has a tiny Kate Greenaway front garden, lots of happy art, yummy cook books, Emma Bridgewater crockery and Netflix😀

Enjoyable stay in this home from home!

Great little cottage in a lovely location, couple of local pubs in the area and beautiful surroundings. 5 min drive into Exeter and close to other location by the seaside within 20 minute drive. I was meeting a friend and they made the second bedroom available as well, zero hassle and very accommodating. Had a lovely few days away there and will be looking g to book there again.

We loved our stay at Bickham Cottage - it’s such a homely place and the surroundings are beautiful. Ed is a great host and made us feel right at home as soon as we arrived. We really enjoyed relaxing walks around the garden next to the cottage and getting to know all the friendly dogs. We’d love to visit again!
