Home Comforts

Home Comforts: Devon

If it feels like you've stepped into someone's home, that's very much the point. Previously lived in and loved by the host, this central Exeter house is brimming with warm furnishings and useful amenities. The open-plan kitchen and table are ideal for a family meal, and we love the cosy log burner in the living room and the airy boho-styling in the bedrooms. In terms of location, it’s the perfect spot to explore the city and the surrounding Devonshire countryside.

Home truths:
*There is no allocated parking for this property, only pay-and-display street parking (although parking is free between 6pm and 8am) – the host can provide one parking permit on request – there are two car parks close by for around £11 per day
*The host asks you to use slippers or indoor shoes when inside (if possible)
*There is a dedicated office space for remote working
*The garden is small but catches the sun in the evening
*The property is in a quiet, residential area and would suit families – ask your host about a cot if you're travelling with a baby
*Parties and extra guests are strictly prohibited
*There's a streaming service as well as Freeview TV
*You'll need to buy your own wood for the log burner
