Good, apart from the shower.

Owners were friendly, room was clean and had all we needed. Double bed was comfy but was just 2 beds pushed together which kept making a gap in the middle. Only real disappointment was the shower as the pressure was almost non existent. Overall it was a nice place to stay for the night.

The best thing about the Telstar is that all the staff are friendly and extremely helpful. Parking is interesting - but it works well - and the breakfast is excellent! Second stay here, and we will be back.

Would be happy to return

The room was simple but clean with a view across the Exe valley. I liked that the heating stayed on until late evening, the hot water was reliable and the shower did not fluctuate between hot and cold. Also, the proprietors were generous and flexible with breakfast. The hotel is close to Exeter's two principal railway stations and about 15 mins walk from the town centre. Minor complaints - some of the lightbulbs were too dim and the toilet seat shifted around.
