Welcome to Cathedral Yard Luxe Residence, an Art Deco–inspired luxury apartment set above Exeter’s iconic Cathedral and historic High Street.

Whether you’re planning a romantic escape or an extended business stay, this exclusive residence offers an unforgettable experience in the heart of Exeter.
Situated on the 3rd floor with private lift access, the apartment showcases original period features—exposed timber beams, historic windows and double-height ceilings—juxtaposed with refined modern living. The spacious open-plan lounge and French-grey designer kitchen create a sophisticated setting for entertaining, complete with marble-quartz worktops, integrated wine cooler, induction hob, dual cookers, dishwasher and washer/dryer. Pendant lighting and LED dimmers add to the warm, luxurious ambience.
Both beautifully appointed bedrooms—one super-king (zip-and-link) and one king—feature luxe carpets, bespoke wardrobes and smart TVs. Each room is served by its own indulgent shower room, designed with marble tiling, premium ceramics, rainfall showers, underfloor heating and demist mirrors for a true spa-like experience.
Throughout the apartment you’ll find solid oak parquet flooring, smart-home heating controls, brassware finishes, satin chrome accessories and superior insulation for year-round comfort. A video entry system provides added peace of mind, while the building’s elegant communal areas—including dual chandeliers and curated artwork—enhance the sense of arrival.

Great location in the heart of downtown Exeter with the Cathedral right outside the front door. Restaurants, shops and Exeter Central train station all within an easy walk. Pictures are true to the flat and it is very well equipped.

First class accommodation
The accommodation was really lovely and couldn’t fault it, very clean and comfortable with everything you could possibly need. Brilliant location and even though it was in the city centre the bedroom was very quiet and peaceful. We don’t have a car so it was great that both buses and trains were close to hand. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again if we decided to visit Exeter again.
Pretty much perfect so can’t think of anything to improve.

Excellent location
The apartment has everything you need and is in a brilliant location for visiting the centre of Exeter. It was spotlessly clean with comfy beds and a great shower. Being the centre of town it can be a bit loud in the evening but as the bedrooms aren’t on the main high street, we weren’t disturbed during the night at all.
We briefly stopped outside to drop bags before moving our car to a car park. It wasn’t that easy to work out how to get in to the road so some better directions would help. Otherwise, it was great

Decor was tasteful, clean, organized, and pleasant.
I had a wonderful time at the apartment the decor was tasteful, clean, organized, and pleasant. I'd also like to express my gratitude for a situation where my friend forgot his wallet and documents, and they were incredibly helpful in resolving the issue. I highly recommend the apartment and appreciate the efficiency of the entire Fresh Escapes team.
