Whether you’re here to relax, explore, or celebrate, it’s the perfect base for your Devon getaway.



We can’t wait to host you! 🥂

The Neighborhood:

Exeter Heights sits in Heavitree, one of Exeter’s most characterful and well-rooted neighbourhoods, just a touch east of the city centre ✨🏡. It’s the kind of place that feels properly local—tree-lined residential streets 🌳, a steady, neighbourly rhythm 😊, and that reassuring sense of an area that’s been quietly getting on with life for generations 🕰️.



One of the big selling points is how close you are to central Exeter 🚶‍♂️🚕. You can be in the heart of town in minutes: a taxi typically takes around 5 minutes, and buses run straight into the centre in roughly 10–20 minutes depending on the service and time of day 🚌⏱️. If you like walking, it’s also a manageable stroll for confident walkers 👟. In practice, guests get the best of both worlds, peaceful base 😌, but the Cathedral Quarter, High Street shops, and restaurants are very easy to reach 🏙️🍽️.



Heavitree’s Fore Street is the nearby high street, handy for essentials and a quick bite 🛍️🥐. Expect independent shops, supermarkets, takeaways, and a few relaxed cafés ☕ useful for guests who want to grab breakfast or stock up without heading into town.



Green space is right on your doorstep too 🌿. Heavitree Pleasure Ground and the smaller Heavitree Park sit close to Butts Road, giving guests an easy spot for morning walks 🚶‍♀️, kids’ play 🛝, or a quiet breather after a day in the city 🌇. The Pleasure Ground is one of Exeter’s best-loved parks, with good facilities and a friendly, everyday atmosphere 🙂.



Overall, it’s a classic Exeter suburb: practical, calm, and well connected ✅🚉 ideal for guests who want quick access to the city centre while staying somewhere more relaxed and residential 🛏️🌙.
