The Penthouse Retreat - Cozy Top-Floor 1BR
Queen of Hearts ♥️ :
Discover our most charming top-floor retreat. This stylish one-bedroom flat perfectly captures the "cosy luxury" of our 1836 Georgian building, offering elevated city views and unique architectural character.

Charming & Spacious: Enjoy the cosy feel of sloped ceilings without compromising on space. With a high 2.4m ceiling height and slopes starting at a generous 1.5m, the flat feels airy and open.
Master Bedroom: Features a luxurious Super-King-size bed and peaceful top-floor views.
Lounge: A welcoming living space with a high-end sofa bed, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.
For the Modern Professional:
The top floor doesn’t mean compromising on tech. We provide our signature "Work-from-Home" suite: Gigabit-speed Wi-Fi 7 and hardwired Ethernet (RJ45) ports for high-performance connectivity.

About the host
Hosted by Host
We have spent most of 2025 renovating a charming Grade II listed Georgian building on a quiet street in the very centre of Exeter. It now combines the charm of the old (with its stunning curved windows) and the comfort of the modern (with ultra high-speed internet, high-end kitchens and smart TVs). We are now looking forward to welcoming you!
