Accommodation Near the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital
The Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital in Wonford is one of the largest employers in Exeter and generates significant demand from contractors, agency staff, and visiting specialists who need short and medium-term accommodation close to the site.
Wonford itself is directly adjacent to the hospital and offers practical access on foot or by bike. Heavitree and parts of St James provide a slightly wider range of property options with bus access to the hospital site. Parking is an important consideration for contractors who need to travel between sites, and some Exeter residential properties include off-road parking.
