"We have had previous good stays at Exeter court in blocks 1 or 2, however this time our block 5 room TV was not working, so after a staff member was unable to fix it we changed rooms. Our second room, the toilet was not flushing efficiently but staff attended to this matter once reported. Exeter Court always offers an excellent breakfast and ample free parking and is easy distance from both Exmouth and Teignmouth."
