"Amazing characterful hotel. Chandeliers were a wonderful sight. Huge areas to sit and relax. Wonderful views across the bay. Sadly the service in the restaurant was extremely slow. A word of apology with an explanation would have helped. But we were just left sitting and waiting…… The restaurant was not that busy. Maybe that was the reason why!
Our starters arrived around 50 minutes after we ordered them. Plated up with very little imagination. The main course arrived within a short space of time, but again it looked very uninspiring. The Salmon could have had a wedge of lemon and a sprig of parsley to dress it up a bit! A big letdown when the hotel itself is so welcoming."
"Basic double was fine. Everything we needed. Great location and plenty of breakfast options in town. Historic property so expect winding stairs and tight corners that comes with character. Only niggle was the heat of the room - but a fan was provided for the room if wanted. Great to have a parking option too in the middle of Exeter. Would stay again."
"We arrived very early to get a parking space as parking is difficult otherwise. We were checked on later by a friendly receptionist who double checked our car registration ans showed us she'd entered it correctly on the computer. She asked if we wanted to book breakfast but we didn't. When she handed us the key we were surprised to find it was exactly the same room as the one we'd stayed in last week. Again it was clean, and spacious with a nice shower. Lovely building and very situated for all amenities"

"I had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The room was spotless, spacious, and well-maintained, with comfortable bedding that ensured a great night’s sleep. The décor was modern and inviting, and all amenities were in excellent working order.
The bathroom was clean and stocked with quality toiletries, and housekeeping did an excellent job throughout my stay. I particularly appreciated the quiet atmosphere, which made it easy to relax after a busy day.
The staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help with any requests. The hotel’s location was also convenient, with easy access to local attractions, restaurants, and transportation.
Overall, I was very impressed with the quality of the room and the level of service provided. I would happily stay here again and would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable experience."
