If you like shopping, dining, and drinking, stay in central Exeter, the commercial hub of the city. Find boutiques and high-street stores during the day and boujie bars and hip clubs at night. As a medieval city with a centuries-old cathedral and castle, it’s ideal for history buffs too.

Alternatively, swap the city for the sea and stay in one of the nearby resort towns. Torquay and Paignton are quaint popular beach resort towns with lots to do for the whole family, Exmouth is quieter and offers a more relaxed pace.

Of course, there’s always the option to stay in the scenic countryside surrounding Exeter on a lavish country estate, a rustic farm, or a quiet campground. If you’re willing to travel further afield, consider staying in another city near to Exeter like Bournemouth of Bristol.
