Value for money
I had an extraordinary experience staying at this hotel. The beautiful antiques and furniture throughout made it feel like stepping back in time, in the nicest possible way. The cleanliness of the rooms was impeccable, and the comfortable bed provided a great night's sleep. the hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of the centre, allowing for easy access to all the attractions this city has to offer.
Nothing to dislike.
I had the most wonderful stay at this hotel. From the moment I arrived, I felt warmly welcomed. The hotel was exceptionally clean, and my room was spacious and comfortable, with a bed that felt like sleeping on a cloud. The hotel's location was perfect, just a short walk away from the city center, making it convenient for exploring the shops and attractions. Another great perk was the hotel's parking facility, which made it easy for me to have my car at hand whenever I wanted to go on excursions. the breakfast served at this hotel was outstanding, with a delicious full English option and vegetarian choices available. The staff were friendly and attentive, making my stay even more enjoyable.
Nothing for me.
The location was perfect, being within walking distance of the city centre, shops, restaurants, and the university. The staff greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel like old friends. The room was comfortable and quiet, with a spacious bathroom. The breakfast offered a variety of options and was delicious. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the hotel had all the facilities we needed. we couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Everything was spot on.
The hotel's location, close to Exeter Cathedral and the city center, made it perfect for a family stay. The cleanliness was impeccable, and the hotel facilities were top-notch. The parking provided was a lifesaver, especially in this city. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, providing handy tips and recommendations.

Nothing not to like.
