Fair Oak House Exeter Airport

Very clean and tidy and perfect for that overnight stay prior to early morning flight (5 minute stroll to airport)

No staff on hand to ask . No drinking glasses in room.room very small no room for cases or a chair.

Perfect location to take the worry out of an early flight or late arrival back to Exeter. Only a couple of minutes walk to the terminal. Easy to get to by public transport, we'd got the train to St Davids, then the bus from outside the station which stops right outside the terminal. The only downside, if you have no transport there isn't anywhere near to eat. The room is comfy with everything you need for a night, very quiet too. Would definitely stay here again if flying from Exeter.

It needs a large sign on the house to make it easy to find

Getting the code for our key seemed a mission but it could have been a ********** issue and not Fair Oaks. Our room (7) was small especially with big suitcases but it was nice, traffic noise wasn't great from the road outside but we aren't used to it which probably made it worse. We were woken up at 0300 by a loud noise that sounded like water pressure in the house which wasn't great and overall didn't sleep that well with an early flight out to Majorca. Very random but the towels in the room were awful and felt so coarse to use, overall an ok stay which was chosen because the Hilton didn't have availability which was a shame.

Very convenient for the airport. Would of appreciated a light at the front door, so I could see the numbers on the key safe to get my key.

Didn’t actually get to stay at the property as we turned up at 10pm and realised it’s just a private flat, no obviously signs / way to check in. We didn’t have check-in details, apparently it was on the invoice which was not obviously apparent when first received and then there’s no signal in the area to even check the invoice for said code. There were no sign of key boxes, no info on what room in the building we were meant to be staying in. After doing laps of the building and annoying a local resident who also lived in the building (as we accidentally walked into his private property) we decided to cut our losses and walk 20 mins in the pitch black to a Hilton near by & spend an additional £105, getting there at nearly 11pm. I’d avoid this property like the plague, yes seems like a great spot to be close to the car hire but it’s not worth the stress and tears. I can see from other reviews (wish I read them ahead of time) that people have experienced issues just like mine before, so I really have no idea why the owner doesn’t look into rectifying it!

A small hiccup with the key box but the reception was very helpful and allocated a different room

Excellent location for the airport. Quite difficult to find a place to eat on the night of my stay. Also the parking rules were not easy to follow.
