Stayed here for a cheapish night in Exeter before moving on to the excellent Salutation in Topsham. Uninspiring entrance to hotel grounds which gives impression that it might be used a great deal for business visits to the city. This was a Friday so probably few business occupations. Reception / bar area was not overly busy but a few people... More

Nice room, spacious and comfortable, and delightful staff, but the hotel is let Dow by its very boring menu. We had the special "wine and dine" menu that is well overpriced and fairly boring. Breakfast ok but service pretty poor. They seemed to have lost our order, since everyone who arrived and ordered after us was served their cooked breakfast,... More

Stayed here with my wife for a weekend to attend a wedding reception locally and the experience was OK but not worth a "very good" rating. Good parking facilities on arrival but no warm welcome from the surly young English receptionist (many of the staff are not English and we found them much more friendly) The room (57) while tucked...

I am on a tour, and our stop for two nights is Exeter at the Buckerell. Looks nice, set back from the road in a residential area, and at least a 20 minute walk to the centre. They seemed over whelmed as we entered - small tour of 31 people - of which only about 18 of us checked in... More

Set back from the road you'll miss it if you don't know where it is. Quaint, friendly and amply equipped. Even though a very modern room the creakiness of the floors gave it a "Old English" feel. The wait staff were a little overwhelmed at breakfast but it wasn't anything to get upset over. We enjoyed our stay and will... More

A hotel on the edge of Exeter with easy access from the motorway and close to the city centre, pleasant gardens and I was woken by birdsong not traffic. The staff were nice and helpful and the deal we booked included a free bottle of wine - nice! The restaurant served traditional, nothing fancy dinner and breakfast so we were... More

Had a two night break here. Very convenient for City centre, bus stop outside, and opposite a lovely walk along river through park down to the quay. Pleasant sunny garden at front with plenty of chairs and tables. Staff helpful and friendly. Our room was on the far side, so very quiet away from the road, but although room was... More

I would never stay here again, I booked b and b, however when I arrived at the hotel they said it was room only, even though I had confirmation saying B & B. In my room, you could not turn the heating off, therefore my room was so hot. The TV was old, and the picutre was all fuzzy. In... More

My partner and I stayed here using a buyagift 2 night stay voucher. We would never normally book a hotel within a city but left it too late to get a booking elsewhere. That said the vast beauty of Devon and Dartmoor was within easy access and once in the hotel grounds you could almost forgive its location. We had... More
