I just stayed 2 days there and I found them very GA friendly, there are restrictions on SEP on the 08 runway that makes instrument arrivals a bit of a palaver it seems, but I arrived on 26 and was offered choice of approach, so I took a vectored ILS for practice which went very well.
I was parked on the disused runway and then found my way ( a bit of a convoluted route but the natives were helpful with directions) to Aviation South West who dealt with landing and parking fees (£40 all in ) and I was also briefed on how to come back and book out when I was leaving.
On return I booked out, was given a pass to give to the security gate man and strolled back to my aeroplane handing in my pass as I went.
Ater picking up the ATIS I called the tower and got very straightforward taxi and departure on 08.
Full commercial airport facilites incl ATIS, ILS and other instrument approaches and very friendly and no OTT security requirments
Well done Exeter!
