Who Short Stay Lets Suit Best
Our short stay accommodation is a great fit if you need:
- Flexible dates – short notice, mid-week arrivals, variable lengths
- More space than a hotel – kitchen/living area for longer stays
- A local point of contact – for questions, access and support
- A base near Exeter's key hubs – RD&E, University, City Centre, Marsh Barton, M5 access
If you're booking for work and need company invoicing, PO numbers or longer stays, see serviced accommodation in Exeter for corporate stays.
What You Can Expect in a Short Stay Let
Short stays should be easy. Depending on the property, your stay can include:
- Furnished living space with cooking facilities
- Bedding and essential setup ready for arrival
- Wi-Fi (and workspace-friendly layouts where possible)
- Simple check-in and clear house rules
- Optional cleaning schedules for longer bookings (where available)
For longer stays, we can arrange additional cleaning, top-up supplies, or specific requirements. Just let us know what you need.
You may see "serviced accommodation" and "short stay lets" used interchangeably — both are fully furnished, flexible rentals. The difference is mainly branding: "serviced apartments" often describes corporate apart-hotels; "short stay lets" describes managed houses and flats like ours. For business stays requiring company invoicing, see our serviced accommodation page.

How Short Stay Pricing Works
Short stay pricing depends on dates, length of stay, property type and guest numbers. In general, longer stays often work out better value per night than a few-night booking.
Send your dates and requirements and we'll confirm the best available options and total cost clearly (no guesswork).
| Stay Type | Typical Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Weekend break (2–3 nights) | From £90–£150/night | Higher rates during peak dates (graduation, events) |
| Weekly stay (7+ nights) | From £70–£120/night | Reduced nightly rate for longer bookings |
| Monthly stay (28+ nights) | From £1,400–£2,200/month | Best value for contractors and relocations |
All prices are examples only and depend on the specific property, dates and availability. Bills, Wi-Fi and cleaning are typically included.
