Perfect location to Exeter Christmas market and shops

Great room size , lovely warm comfortable

Noise during night wasn’t sure if it was the heating or Simone using shower during the night but very loud and disrupted sleep

Good value boutique hotel experience in Central Exeter

Staff excellent. made to feel very welcome. food was excellent and private dining can be thoroughly recommended. hotel is very well located for shopping in Central Exeter and is only a few 100 metres from the Cathedral which is most impressive.

Only real criticism is that the room was stifling hot with no means of turning down the radiators because they were not actually on! Something else was going on there, but with no thermostat that I could see to try to cool the room, the heat made it a little uncomfortable. I don't like a toilet in the room without a properly fitting and opaque door. We tried to use the ground floor facilities where possible but the mens toilets on the ground floor were only available with a code (surely unnecessary?). Combined, these two things took the edge of what was othersise a good value boutique hotel experience. I would return, but would seek a different room with more traditional ensuite facilities.

Absolutely perfect and I will come again but with my own pillow!

Beautiful hotel right in the centre of Exeter so perfect for walking everywhere

The only moan I have were the pillows - I didn’t have the best sleep as the pillows were quite hard and lumpy! Pillows are tricky but keep an eye on them!

Amazing Boutique Stay ! Romantic and Wow!!!

The Room was amazing. Definitely had the wow factor!! A huge comfortable bed. The curtains need to be sorted as had come iff hooks in places. Room was very clean apart from the shower trap.. The staff were all very polite and very very helpful.. Breakfast was delicious especially the fresh orange juice and the selection of greek yougart, fruit compote, granola, honey and nuts that arrived pre cooked breakfast...

The curtains in the room need to be re hung, they had come off the hooks making it look a bit tatty, although the room was amazing... The shower trap was dirty!!

6.0 / 10.0

In my view its only suitable for a one night stay with very light luggage

Evening food was good They carried my luggage up for me Mattress was comfortable

The shower mat in the room was stained. It had obviously been washed but had it been looked at they would have seen it was stained with black marks and it should have been discarded. The soap bottle in the shower was made of glass....and not fixed to anything so easy to fall and break...not great. The shower tray was shiny and therefore slippery...by the time i realised I was already in the shower and it was too late to call and ask if they had a rubber shower mat. One of the water bottles in the room was already opened and looked as if it had been refilled from the tap - it was "over full" compared to the unopened one. This should have been spotted as it was very obvious to me. The sleigh bed in the room may look OK but the frame is too big for the space. There is hardly any space to move in the room, and the only place to hang anything was a rack of knobs fixed to the wall. The stairs are steep - its an old building so to be expected BUT they are carpeted in dark blue and there is very little light in the hall way at night. Really hard to navigate if you have any sight impediment in the dark (as I do).

Nice stay but nothing exciting.

Comfy room. Great breakfast. Staff were friendly. Good location for central Exeter. Overall a good stay but nothing exciting.

No car parking. Feels a little bit soulless in the common areas but only a small footprint. Small outside area but Feels like you're sitting amongst the local offices... which you are!

Situated in the centre just a short walk from the cathedral and historic town wall and shops, this hotel was incredible. Amazing service, a lovely bar and conservatory with a log burner to chill out next too. The room was gorgeously decorated. The bathroom, wow, the most amazing bath to unwind in. We will come back soon for a mini break.
