If approaching from Cornwall, Plymouth or Torbay on the A30 or A38, continue to the M5 and exit at either junction 29 or 30. At junction 29 you'll find the Red Park and Ride (Honiton Road – EX2 7NL), or use junction 30 for the Blue Park and Ride (Sowton – EX2 5GL). Both will take you almost to our front door. When you get off the bus, walk forward a few steps and you'll see the shop ahead of you. If you want to continue driving to the shop, from either of these junctions go straight past the Park and Ride, and then follow signs to the city centre. Closer to the centre, follow signs to John Lewis car park. John Lewis Exeter is very close to Exeter Central station (New North Road entrance) and Exeter's bus station.
Seasonal events at Exeter This is where we announce the events and activities that will be taking place in our shop. Please check this page regularly to see what we have planned. We're proud of the close links we forge between our Partners and local schools, charities and organisations. And wherever we do business, at home or abroad, we work with communities to make a difference. Our Community Matters programme in our shops continues to support local charities and community groups. We aim to give at least 1% of pre-tax profits to community initiatives. We will continue to seek out projects that support the John Lewis Foundation at home and abroad. If you'd like to nominate a good cause for Community Matters please complete the nomination form and take it to the Customer Services department. The charities we're supporting from February 2017 - April 2017 are: Relate Exeter & District - provides support for Devon people of all ages.

Little Bridge House Children's Hospice - Little Bridge House hospice is part of Children's Hospice South West, which helps and supports local life-limited children and their families from diagnosis onwards.

It is light and airy and very comfortably accommodate 2 people and possibly 3 if you have a child ( easily big enough for a travel cot or a single mattress for an older child / adult). The Garden Room is part of Thorndon House which was formerly a rectory built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. The Garden Room has a comfy double bed with fresh linen, a snuggle blanket, cushions and a table with two chairs and also a comfy armchair which has recently been added. There is also a microwave in case you would like to cater for yourselves in the evening with a micro meal or a spud. There is also a 32" TV for you to enjoy. The bathroom has a small sink, toilet and shower and we will provide towels for you. Tea (variety of teas), coffee, (instant and cafeteria coffee) hot chocolate and sugar is available in the kitchen area and fresh milk in the fridge. The fridge will also have some fruit juice and fruits. Either yogurts and granola or pastries will also be in the room for your breakfast choices. The room is in a fabulous location to go walking as there are miles and miles in all directions!
There is a great walk along the River Exe to a wonderful pub The Lazy Toad in Bramford Speke or if you are feeling energetic there are walks to Silverton village or Thorverton. The very local village pub "Stoke Canon Inn" has been visited by many guests who have all mentioned how friendly it was. Stoke Canon inn have regular entertainment and serve food but not on a Monday. The pub is only a half mile down the road so very walkable. I would be very happy to point you in the right direction if you fancy a good walk. Maybe even a walk to the National Trust Killerton House.You have wifi in the room, however, it is slow at times. Wifi is 100% available every evening after 6 pm and at weekends. During the day, if my husband is working from home it may not be possible to access wifi but he is normally working away during the week.Wifi reliability is a little hit and miss. It can run quite slow sometimes so just turn off your devices and relax! xThere is a parking area directly outside the entrance to the Garden Room.
The room is accessed via a separate door to the main house. The door leads into a hallway whereby any coats, shoes, wellies and umbrellas can be stored after a good walk through the beautiful countryside, woods and rivers. We have an umbrella for you to use at your leisure and for your convenience. The Garden Room is very private as it has it's own entrance so you are able to come and go as you please without being disturbed.When you arrive at the Garden Room I will be so happy to introduce myself to you and wish you a wonderful stay. I may well be busy with the children when you arrive so I will be more than happy to leave the keys in a convent location if we miss each other. I will send you a message a day or two before you arrive with any specific arrival detail. You can contact me using the phone number knock on our door if you need any assistance.I am very happy to provide a home made PIZZA for guests @ £6 each Pizza, pud and a drink (wine, beer, soft drinks) £12 each.All profits go in the charity pot!

Please order the day before if possible. £5 cream tea for two.Rewe is a lovely village with very kind and friendly residence. We have stunning views over the countryside towards Killerton and the River Culm with a lovely stone bridge. During the late spring and summer months our closest neighbours are the dairy cows who often come and say hello at the fence until the children come out! We have plenty of lovely birds flying around!!There is a fabulous bus service running straight through Rewe. Buses either way (Exeter or Tiverton direction) go every 15 mins and after 7 pm, if you would like to go into Exeter for a meal and leave the car behind the bus service offer return rides for £2 each. The last bus back is approx 11-12 depending on the day of the week. Destinations from Rewe are diverse.
The bus stop is practically right outside the house on the main road. The main Exeter train station is only 3-4 miles from us (St David's). If you would like to arrange for me to pick you up/drop you off at the train station this can be discussed and I would be very happy to help if possible for an agreed amount. Cheaper than a taxi!! XxMy son and myself have some beautiful painted pebbles for sale in the hallway together with a few other bits and bobs we make together if you would like to take one as a memento. All money for the sales have gone to my son who has been saving up for a skateboard. He has now bought his skateboard so he is very happy.
