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.

New kitchen upgrade planned for November 2020 - Covid has slowed down our plans

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.

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

Why they chose this property

Exeter is fast becoming one of Devon’s most popular destinations, and with so much going on, it’s easy to see why. As it’s a University town, there’s obviously plenty to keep students of all ages happy. Small wonder, then, that no less than 20 new restaurants have opened in the last two years alone.

Being located above The Imperial public house, a building with a history that’s well worth Googling, you’ll have food, drink, entertainment and the venue’s gardens literally on your doorstep.

When you’re ready to venture further afield, you’ll discover Exeter City Centre is just a 5 minute walk away. And what a variety of things there are to do there. Shopping, eating, drinking, walking in parks, of course. But also water-based entertainment like canoeing. How many other city centres offer that?

If you’re here to work, then Exeter’s business district is within walking distance, as is the college and Exeter University for those of you with study to do.

What makes this property unique

Staying somewhere so central, you might expect parking to be a problem. Not so. 2 parking spaces come with the apartment for a £8 per day, per car. Space for 2 cars if needed.

But chances are, once you get here, you’ll be able to get everywhere you need to on foot, or by bike or bus. But it’s always handy to have a car to call on should you be planning to explore more of Devon’s delights, like the beach (just a 25 minute drive away) or Dartmoor (30 mins by car).

And if you’re arriving or departing by train, Exeter St. David’s station is just a 2 minute walk away. Talk about convenient!
