If you're visiting Exeter for work — on a placement, a fixed-term contract, a research project, or a role at the RD&E Hospital — Melbury offers serviced accommodation designed for longer stays.
We offer a well-equipped base with the flexibility and practical setup that longer stays often require.
A space that supports focus
Reliable high-speed WiFi comes as standard, along with a desk or suitable workspace in every room. Whether you're preparing lectures, reviewing notes, or planning the next stage of a project, the environment allows you to concentrate without feeling transient.
Rooms are serviced regularly, but we respect your comfort and privacy. Housekeeping is scheduled rather than intrusive, so you're not being disturbed at inconvenient moments while you're here.

Flexible check-in for shifts and late arrivals
Hospital shifts, early trains, and irregular travel plans rarely align with traditional check-in windows. Secure self check-in means you can arrive when your schedule allows — whether that's after a late shift or a long drive from elsewhere.
From the moment you arrive, you can settle in and get on with your day. Our neighbourhood is quiet and well connected.

Designed for everyday living
The rooms are arranged for day-to-day life, not just overnight stays. Each includes a fridge and microwave, with many offering dining areas and well-equipped kitchenettes. Guests also have access to a shared kitchen.
You can settle in properly, whether your stay is measured in weeks or months rather than days. On-site laundry and luggage storage (if required) make longer placements more practical.

Fixed weekly rates - no tenancy agreement
We are flexible with arrival dates and length of stay, whether you're here for several weeks or longer. There's no complicated tenancy agreement and no traditional deposit structure — just a clear and straightforward arrangement.
For extended placements, predictable weekly rates make planning far simpler, with the option to pay in instalments. We can also provide invoicing upon request.

If you need us, we'll be there
While check-in is contactless, you're not left to manage things alone. Clear information is provided before and during your stay, and if something requires attention, you can contact us directly and we'll sort it promptly.
