The room was incredibly cosy and well-decorated, with modern coffee machine and tea making facilities. The staff were incredibly lovely and helpful.

Queens Court Hotel

10/10 Excellent

White Hart, Exeter by Marston's Inns

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location between the city centre and the quayside, ideal car parking, great room, really nice bar and restaurant, will definitely stay here again when we go back to Exeter"

Hotel Du Vin Exeter

8/10 Good

"The room was lovely and the offer of a free drink in the bar in exchange for no housekeeping is clever. Such a good idea. Unfortunately the wedding in the hotel on Saturday night dominated all the communal areas of the hotel which meant that we couldn’t have the nightcap in the bar we were hoping for, as well as there being the thumping of the music from the wedding in our room until well after 11pm. Had we known yet the bar area would be pretty much out of action to other guests we might have chosen to stay elsewhere."
