Tam and Pete
Set in a lovely meadow with specimen trees and surrounded by farmland. The Orient House is best suited to two adults and two children or any combination thereof. It’s a little cramped for four adults but entirely possible. 500 sq feet. Self contained with your own private front door. Unique decor with an Eastern theme. Two bedrooms, one with a double bed and one with two single beds, both with windows onto a pretty garden. Your front door opens onto a meadow with outside seating and a barbecue. Full kitchen, private bathroom, everything you’d need for a comfortable base from which to explore this fabulous area. Space best suited to two adults with two children.
We are an academic and a retired TV corespondent. Pete loves the ‘Meet and Greet’ and we both enjoy meeting new guests and telling people all about what this lovely area has to offer. We are always right at the end of the phone if you have any queries - just message us.
It’s beautiful here. Country walks from your doorstep and all the delights Devon has to offer. Beaches, stunning countryside, culture, fine dining, theatre. Exeter is only 3 miles away - we have many guests who use our space as a base for Exeter University, RD&E hospital, Exeter Airport and the rugby stadium.
