Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen and the thoughtful welcome pack, although some noted room for improvement in maintenance and noise levels.
Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is consistently described as clean and well-presented. Multiple reviews mention the cleanliness positively, indicating high standards are maintained.
The location is frequently praised for its proximity to the beach, town, and amenities. However, some guests noted traffic noise due to its position by a roundabout, slightly impacting the score.
Guests find the property comfortable, with several positive comments about the beds and living spaces. However, there are remarks about the need for better mattresses and blackout blinds, suggesting room for improvement.
The property is well-equipped, particularly the kitchen, but there are recurring comments about the need for maintenance, such as replacing towels and pans, and improving TV instructions. The presence of a welcome pack is noted, but as it's not consistently mentioned, it doesn't significantly affect the score.
While guests have mentioned a welcome pack, it is not consistently referenced across reviews to accurately assess the level of thoughtfulness. Therefore, the score is set to null, and guests should note that such amenities are a bonus rather than a guarantee.
About this property
In a neat row of four houses 500 meters from the beach and Coast Path in Exmouth is this smart townhouse. Rambling over three storeys, this welcoming accommodation is suitable for families or friends looking to enjoy this lovely coastal spot. The front door leads you into the hall, and from there into your smart sitting room, a relaxing space with leather sofas, TV and electric fire. The smart kitchen is an ideal room for preparing meals to enjoy in the dining area up a couple of steps. Head on up to two double bedrooms sharing a bathroom, and up again to the top floor and its double bedroom with a glimpse of the coast and a shower room. Outside, at the back, is an enclosed seating area where you can enjoy barbecues, plus covered storage for your bikes and beach stuff. That will come in handy if you choose to take advantage of the great cycle tracks which lead to the city of Exeter or across the water on the ferry to Starcross. Stay within Exmouth and you have plenty to entertain you, with shops, pubs, a cinema, theatre, and of course the long and lovely sandy beach. Here you can try sailing, windsurfing, bird watching or walking on the Coast Path. With Dartmoor not far away, 2 Carlton Mews is perfectly positioned for exploring coast and countryside.

It was a 10-15 minute walk to the beach or the town although there is a slope. We have bus passes and the bus stops were nearby with a frequent service to the town and on to Exeter. The house was perfect for us, bright and clean. The kitchen was particularly well equipped and the lounge roomy and comfortable. The bedrooms were light and airy with comfortable beds and lovely, clean bedding. The bathrooms were fresh and clean.The central heating worked well. There was good broadband, I measured 57 Mbps. I think it was relatively recent. There was a nice welcome pack of bread, butter and milk as well. Sophie, who looks after the house, was easy to reach by messaging and did a very good job of preparing it. We would recommend this place but bear in mind it is on three floors and so has two flights of stairs each with a double turn. Just turned 80 we had no problems though. There are two allocated parking spaces within the enclosed front which has easy access. It is on busy roundabout but is quiet at night.

Two comments which appear to be reoccurring. Traffic noise is really bad. Not the best location for a holiday. Blinds in bedrooms are pathetic. Needs black out curtains. Also for the heat. It was very hot and they don't keep the house cool.

It was very kind & welcoming to find some delicious bread & butter plus milk for a cup of tea after travelling. The beds were very comfortable as were the sofas .All instructions needed were clear & concise - only slight niggle was that we couldn't find spare bin bags for use after "bin day" but it was no problem as we bought some from the excellent Market Hall. The only downside is the traffic & especially the "little dears" that like to act like idiots very very late at night. However , there is nothing that can be done about that & you soon get used to it . ( perhaps double glazing might help to cut down the noise but that is expensive ). All in all it is an excellent property & we have stayed here before & hope to be back again next year.
