Clean, comfortable, good value and very convenient for Exeter Airport. Probably two minutes walk from airport and parking on the doorstep. The property is in fact set within a car park but we had no noise overnight at all. The mattress is very comfortable and everything was very clean with tea, coffee and milk sachets provided. Adjustable heaters, large tv. No toiletries only a small soap. TRAVELLER top tips: bring food with you as there is no breakfast supplied (or eat in airport cafe that is past the security area) and unless you have a car you cannot get an evening meal. POINTS for PROPRIETOR to consider. A very efficient gentleman is at the end of the mobile phone - I missed seeing the key box code on the invoice that is emailed to you the day before. (Code is on the left-hand side halfway down the page). Perhaps the manager would be very thoughtful and provide a suitcase rack or two in the room. It is difficult to have to keep going to floor level to pull things out of the suitcase, and I’m sure they wouldn’t want the sofa constantly used as a suitcase rack. The sofa is the only place for Guests to sit and watch TV. Some coat hangers would also be welcome too - there is a small rack of 4 coat hooks in the room. Also a plastic chair or stool for the large wet room (we stayed in room 1) to put a bathroom bag on. I do think a shower curtain would be a good idea, there is a rail with hooks ready for one. It would stop water splashing over any bathroom bags which at the moment have to sit either on the floor or the top of the loo as there’s nowhere to put them. For what we paid and what we got it was very reasonable, I was highly recommend it with the couple of improvements mentioned above could make it very good indeed. If the owner wanted a side line, I’m sure providing,for a tariff, a pre ordered breakfast box and/or supper box with pre-packed items it could be most welcome. We travelled on foot as we were dropped off in the car park of the night before. Sometimes you have to reinforce the obvious. A big sign on the front of the house, saying it is ‘Fair Oak House’ would be a very good idea with an arrow, pointing to where the entrance door is would be helpful, especially if it’s dark and raining! We have, in fact, I stayed here before many years ago, but to the new arrival with so much in the area, such as car hire, signs, barriers, entrances, a nice big clear sign on the front of the house and side facing the road would be a very good idea. Don’t be alarmed if the entrance car park barrier next to the house entrance area itself is down as it is all recorded, they can tell the difference between someone being dropped off and someone trying to sneak in for free parking as it is in an ANPR barrier. Tons of car parking.
