Back to Inspirations

Location, location, location! Cathedral Green B&B offers a front-row seat to one of Devon’s most iconic landmarks, the magnificent Exeter Cathedral. This charming B&B pairs its unbeatable location with immaculate interiors, making it a perfect choice for those who appreciate convenience and style. Free parking is just a 5-minute walk away, and it’s easy to find as it sits above the Rolex shop.

Cathedral Green is a modern first-floor apartment home to hosts Edward and Angela. A lift provides easy access, ensuring easy access for all ages. The en-suite bedroom is stylish and practical, featuring parquet floors, underfloor heating, ample storage, and a bright bathroom complete with a walk-in shower. Luxury touches abound, from the crisp White Company bed linens and towels to the Nespresso machine and selection of Pukka teas. Angela’s attention to detail shines through—she’ll even provide a thermos of hot or cold milk on request. During the summer, there’s a small outdoor terrace to enjoy; during the colder months, there’s a lovely sitting room overlooking the cathedral yard. Edward, an Oxford scholar who graduated from the penny-farthing era with a penchant for storytelling, often shares tales from his remarkable life, making for delightful and memorable conversations.

Although breakfast isn’t served at the B&B, you can enjoy a full breakfast at The Ivy next door, which is included in your stay at Cathedral Green.
Exeter is a vibrant city steeped in history and culture. Cathedral Yard is a picturesque starting point for exploring the city’s treasures, including the ancient Roman walls, the medieval underground passages, and the charming quayside.

A leisurely stroll from Cathedral Green leads to a variety of independent shops, galleries, and restaurants, with options ranging from cosy cafés to The Ivy.
For nature enthusiasts, Dartmoor National Park, with its stunning landscapes and endless hiking opportunities, is within easy reach. Meanwhile, the South Devon coastline has sandy beaches, dramatic cliffs, and quaint seaside villages.

Cathedral Green’s location is unbeatable; it’s steps away from Exeter Cathedral, the city’s shops, and cultural landmarks. It’s more than a place to stay - it’s a gateway to the best of Exeter and beyond, offering the perfect balance of luxury, location, and local charm.
