Avocet Lodge will occupy a highly prominent position on Fore Street, one of Exmouth's principal retailing thoroughfares.

 The development sits between Fore Street and Lower Fore Street, immediately adjoining the public car park and benefiting from excellent pedestrian links through the town centre. The location enjoys substantial passing footfall generated by shoppers, visitors and local residents throughout the year, together with the residents and visitors to the new Churchill Retirement Living development.

Exmouth is one of Devon's largest coastal towns with a resident population of approximately 35,000, increasing significantly during the holiday season. The town benefits from a strong mix of national multiples, independent retailers, cafés, restaurants and professional services together with excellent road and rail communications to Exeter approximately 11 miles to the north.
