Fantastic hotel! we took our two dogs and they were welcomed at this hotel. Dogs are allowed in the reception and bar area and the staff will happily set up a breakfast table in the bar for you to have breakfast. The rooms are clean, spacious and very comfortable. Staff are so helpful and friendly. The road is quiet at night and there is ample parking. Will definitely stay again!

Hotel was very tidy and clean, perfect location for us close to Exeter airport
A good selection at breakfast but felt some of the items were dry and needing to be replaced. Sausages were poor quality. I think its very poor and not needed to charge visitors £10.00 for parking in the hotel carpark when you are staying overnight.

Only opening last year, it felt modern and fresh. The staff overall had been fantastic from check in to dealing with issues. Jazmin was exceptional. Hotel is in a good location for what we wanted. No tea and coffee station in the room but a well equipped station in the corridor.
A few things here,
The main disappointment was the breakfast, when we booked we called the hotel directly as we travel with our dog to check about breakfast. I was assured by Poppy on the front desk it was a buffet style full English breakfast. That we could get what we want and then either sit in the bar or take it back to the room. Having a nervous dog that dog not like strangers coming up to us. This was really important.
Having not had a good nights sleep we went down to the bar, grabbed a table out of the way in the corner, went to go and get breakfast to be told that there had not been enough guests in the hotel and that it was table service. So we ordered two full English breakfasts, not looking at the menu considering a full English is a full English - you would think. So then we had the staff coming to the table to lay the table, each time having to get up and walk away with the dog. Then breakfast comes - in shock to find a pile of cabbage, kale, fried beetroot sitting on the plate, there was two very strong and meaty sausages, bacon and eggs as well as mushroom and fried potatoes all sat in a swamp of grease. It was that off-putting that we both got up from the table and left it. Why over complicate a traditional English breakfast. Breakfast is really important which is why I called and asked first which is what I expected. The breakfast was presented in a nice look. We had been told that we should have read the menu before ordering - but two full English breakfast.
Second issue - took the dog down just before bed. It was about 1230am. A man I. A black hoody(either a member of staff or someone that is a frequent resident there so I am told) came out the front of the hotel and stared over, then for no reason at all walked directly towards me, stopped and continued watching me. Never have I felt so uncomfortable, in an area where there is just office buildings, it was dark and no one else around.

We were very impressed - it’s a new hotel and very environmentally conscious- the rooms were comfortable and very clean - we had a kitchenette, however if you didn’t, there are tea and coffee facilities along the corridor as well as fresh water. The breakfast was excellent and seasonal, continuing their ethos of nett zero. We would use this hotel again.
They maybe need to check the lights in the rooms as some fittings were already not quite connecting and considering it’s only one year old the wear and tear may cause issues in the future. The pod style bathrooms work very well, however, they may cause issues in the future with noise in the future as they creak quite a lot when you walk into them. None of this was an issue, however, it may have been, if the hotel was full and all rooms an occupied.

The hotel reception staff were very pleasant and helpful. Hotel and room looked clean.
There was no kettle in the room, but you can request one which we did. There is hot drinks station on each floor. No safe or fridge were in the room.

Very clean, comfortable hotel, friendly staff, good restaurant. Perfect for a pre flight stay very close to Exeter airport.
The corridor drinks station.
Very well stocked with quality drinks but would have preferred to have this in our room.

Hotel is fantastic. Staff were brilliant and really helpful. The food was very high quality. The evening meal was the best I've ever had. Will highly recommend.
The accessible room was very far from the lift. Plus the refreshments on each landing were far from the room. This makes it difficult. I don't know how someone in a wheel chair would have coped.

Though tea coffee station was good but just bit awkward having to leave room to go make tea first thing

The hotel is modern and clean, with comfortable rooms.
It is too far out of Exeter and has busy roads next to it.

As it was mid January, the hotel seemed relatively quiet. We thought most guests were there for work/meetings/conference purposes rather than holidays. We were in Exeter to look for accommodation on a more permanent basis.
The food was nice. We liked the dinners. which were varied and always well prepared. Breakfast was also good, with a wide range of choices.
Our room was a little on the small side, but we got used to it. People leaving at 6am sometimes closing their room doors quite loudly, waking me up as a result. Perhaps the dinner menu could be enhanced by adding pasta meals and fish in the form of salmon ?
As we had to use public transport, and the hotel is on the edge of the City, we did feel a bit remote from it. Crossing the busy A30 was also an experience, to get the bus. Traffic lights or a zebra crossing would help.

Very clean and comfortable. Friendly helpful staff and good food. Like the efforts to be ‘green’.
Wasn’t keen on the corridor tea/coffee station, would have preferred them in our room. However it was an efficient set up and good choice of drinks which we were grateful to have access too.

I really loved it, the price was great, the vibe was lovely and the bed was super comfy
The guy behind the bar could have been a bit friendlier. He certainly wasn't unpleasant but he didn't make me feel comfortable, a bit standoffish.

Visiting my son for Christmas with my dog
The room was clean and the bed was so comfortable
Loved the eco ethos
No regulation of temperature in the room but as it was fine it wasn’t a problem
I’m sure if I contacted reception they could have altered it

Ideal for Exeter airport. Nice and modern, fresh and clean. Good sized rooms with comfy bed. Nice selection of complementary hot drinks.
Car park charging is rather ridiculous at £10 per night. Clearly a means to increase revenue. Shower gels watered down. Not sure if done by hotel, but unable to get a lather. No big deal, but impacts on impressions. Fashionable green credentials but in reality felt like it was just gesturing.

The property was very clean and welcoming. The food was delicious and of a high quality. Staff were friendly and helpful.
The hotel is near a main road and the airport but we did not hear any noise overnight.

Blood on a towel in the bathroom
Hairs in the bed
Washed-out blood stains on the bed sheets
The television malfunctioning, repeatedly changing channels and at one point switching to German
Assured by a member of the management team that I would be compensated and have since been ignored.

Had an early flight so didn't have breakfast. Room was comfy and adequate. TV was large. Bathroom was good. Bed was large and comfortable. Reception staff were great. Tea and coffee and water in the corridor was nice. Only a few minutes to the airport. Easy to find.
The car park was pretty full but there was overflow

Modern but with character and a warm feel to it. This is often lost on modern hotels that feel corporatised and soulless. Most certainly will use again.

Despite having no heating on, the duvet was incredibly warm, in fact too hot. Was overheating all night. The room was very good though
