About White Exeter House

Tucked away in Devon, White Exeter House is a beautifully appointed self-catering property that makes it genuinely easy to switch off. Among the standout features: a private hot tub, a wellness suite, a private pool, a private gym, a freestanding roll-top bath, a wood-burning stove, and a private tennis court. It's particularly popular for celebrations and special occasions. Whether you're planning a romantic escape, a gathering with close friends, or simply a chance to recharge somewhere lovely, this is the sort of place that gets the balance right.

The standard of finish here is high — Luxury Cottages curates only properties that meet a serious quality bar, and White Exeter House is no exception. Expect thoughtful design, quality linens, and the kind of attention to detail that means you spend your time relaxing rather than hunting for a spare blanket.

Sleeping Arrangements

White Exeter House is set up to feel like a proper home rather than a rental — the kind of place where guests tend to stop apologising for 'making themselves comfortable' because everything genuinely encourages it. Bedrooms are well-dressed with quality mattresses and bedding, and the layout works whether you're a couple after total privacy or a small group wanting shared space.

A cot is available for younger guests, making this a great option for families with a baby or toddler.

Inside White Exeter House

Inside, White Exeter House has a fully equipped modern kitchen with everything you'd expect for self-catering — hob, oven, dishwasher, and plenty of worktop space for proper cooking. The living areas are comfortable and well-proportioned, and the bathroom features a freestanding bath — great for a long soak after a day out. The wood-burning stove in the living area is the centrepiece on cooler evenings — there's something deeply satisfying about an open fire. There's even a private gym for anyone who likes to keep up their fitness routine on holiday. A games console adds an extra option for rainy afternoons.

Wi-Fi is included, and the smart TV means you've got streaming covered for evenings in. The practical stuff — washing machine, tumble dryer, iron — is all there when you need it.

Outdoor Space

The private outdoor space is a proper asset — not just a patch of grass but somewhere you'll actually want to spend time. There's a gas BBQ ready for use, and the countryside views make even a morning cup of tea feel like a small event. Parking is private and off-road.

Guests consistently rate the outdoor space highly. The private pool extends the outdoor season considerably. The tennis court is a genuine bonus for those who fancy a knock-around. It's the kind of setup that makes you regret not spending more time outside.

Exeter & Devon: What to See and Do

Exeter is one of England's most liveable cities — compact, walkable, and packed with history from its Norman cathedral and Roman city walls to the independent quarter around the Guildhall. Dartmoor National Park is literally on the doorstep (the edge of the moor is under twenty minutes away), while the coastal resorts of Torquay and Exmouth are reachable in under an hour. The Quayside area has great restaurants and a lively weekend scene.

The property's location in Devon puts you within easy reach of everything the area has to offer — from local producers and good pubs to longer drives into the wider countryside.
