Will stay here again when we return to Exeter. Very comfortable room. Especially appreciated nice toiletries, including conditioner and body lotion, and having a well lit bathroom with magnifying mirror made getting ready for the day so much easier. We enjoyed the vegan options and good coffee for breakfast. Lovely accommodations and super nice people. Highly recommend.

Free Breakfast was really good. Food was hot and fresh. Staff was always available to answer questions. Our room was very comfortable and updated. Clean with daily service. A pub is part of the hotel. It was always full. No noise could be heard upstairs in our room. If you want a feel of old english....stay here. We will stay again when we come back. The price was worth the stay.
