Breakfast menu not very clear or priced showing juice/ tea coffee were extra but food itself was good. Continental breakfast poor if later than 9am.. maybe very hungry clients ate most of it early. Situation on river with gardens excellent. Overall a pleasant place to stay.

We had a lovely four night stay at the Mill on the Exe while in Exeter to watch rugby. The room was comfortable and clean with a view of the River, and the breakfasts were superb. We also dined at the restaurant on Sunday evening to enjoy their traditional roast dinner & a delectable sticky toffee pudding. Overall, it was a wonderful stay with easy parking, comfortable accommodations, and a standout breakfast menu.

Not as nice as I was expecting. My view was over the car park. The manager pointed out that Expedia customers need to stipulate if they want a river view. For £145 I thought I’d get one but he said that was cheap for Exeter. Other observations: Not double glazed - just an extra piece of glass that didn’t cover the whole window. Wifi insecure Parking - no notification that there was private parking for guests, which is important I think, as I parked in the crowded pub car park. Multiple power outages Toilet flush issues Given wrong wine. French sav said was given but second waiter said hadn’t had for ages. Staff seemed a little clueless.

Mill on the Exe is a lovely pub and hotel … very quaint but lovely rooms. The only problem was that the bed was surprisingly small in length…. It was wide enough as a King Bed should be…. But not long enough.
