About this property
Old Lodge-Imperial - 2 Min walk to the university
The host will contact you directly prior to check-in with final instructions. Please ensure your contact number is correct.
Situated in the beautiful grounds of the historic and popular Imperial Restaurant in central Exeter, this 1 bedroom, 2 parking space lodge provides an ideal base for people visiting the city on business, for pleasure, or to study. The Imperial is close enough for breakfast, lunch, dinner or drinks, 22 steps across the lawn, but far enough away for a peaceful, undisturbed stay. Perfect for a lazy afternoon in the garden.

You’ll find everything you could possibly want from a short stay apartment right here, and plenty more besides. Let’s start with the overall beautiful presentation. It’s clear that your host has taken time to ensure the apartment features plenty of touches that make a place a home. Prints on the walls. Flowers in vases. A Daily housekeeping service if needed.
The lounge epitomizes the overall look and feel of the apartment. It’s light and airy, thanks to the big windows, and feels like a home from home, courtesy of the modern essentials like the smart TV, the comfy sofas and table football, for some added fun.
Moving into the kitchen and you’ll find all the appliances, utensils, cutlery and crockery needed for your stay, whether you choose a few days, a fortnight, or even longer, you will always be looked after.
Add to that the modern bathroom, and the bedroom with its plush and inviting double bed & patio doors opening out to the garden, what you’ve got is an amazing apartment in a great location, that’s ready to make contractors, students, tourists and anyone else wanting to stay in central Exeter really feel at home.
The bedroom doors open out onto a decked garden, a real sun trap and quite a space to enjoy city living.

Enough away from the Wetherspoons to have some peace and quiet but in striking distance for food and drink. Great facilities including washing machine, full kitchen and a massive lounge and bedroom.Really comfortable

Exeter base
We wanted to explore Devon and would have preferred a quiet country location to do so. However none were available for our dates so we took the plunge on a city centre base.
The location is ideal with easy walking access to both the city and car access to the main road routes south and east.
The property itself was disappointing in that although spacious, was fairly spartan. The lack of manuals /guides etc on how to operate equipment was surprising. There were issues on plumbing, lighting and damp.
The main problem in these times though was it is located in the grounds of a large pub frequented by hoardes of students - not ideal for those who want to feel safe
