From the minute we (4 friends for two nights) walked in, No 3 exceeded our expectations. Right on the side of the marina, the apartment was clean and very well furnished. Welcome mince pies & bottle of Prosecco were a thoughtful touch. Our hosts, Ruth & Phil, were brilliant from the moment I booked. Welcome email, local information, restaurant suggestions, totally brilliant. Highly Recommend !

A truly outstanding holiday property – we felt it had the best location on Exmouth Marina. Everything was within walking distance: the beach, boats, scenic walks, the South West Coast Path, shops, a park, buses, the train station, and even M&S Food. Ruth was exceptionally friendly, easy to reach, and very helpful. We couldn’t have asked for more.

Lovely location on Exmouth Marina
A high quality , comfortable and well located apartment right on Exmouth Marina .
Well equipped and good quality soft furnishings , bedding and towels
Good communication from owner , and we loved the property overall and wouldn’t hesitate to book again
Small points but meant as constructive feedback and as this a premium priced property to give it 5* , it would need a couple of small tweaks , eg TV in master bedroom , en-suite bathroom upgrade and black out curtains in bedrooms . These are minor in the overall holiday experience though .
