I stayed at the Bendene recently with my boyfriend for 2 nights, taking advantage of the current offer (stay on a Friday night and get Saturday night half price). It worked well for our requirements - the price was good and it was only a short walk to the shops. I found the breakfast a highlight - the portions were... more

I stayed here in December and was disappointed with the lack of warmth about the place - the lady running the place doesn't seem to be overly fond of her customers. The welcome was cursory and the breakfast portions a joke. Even when I did an 'Oliver' and asked for more , one small slice of bacon was added to... more

I stayed there in Easter 2009 and standards had really dropped this time round. The breakfast was very meagre - one small sausage, one slice of bacon, half a tomato and one slice of toast. The mattress in my bed was very spongy and not at all good for anyone with a bad back. There was also one thin blanket... more

Myself and two colleagues had forgotten to book a place to stay whilst on business in Exeter. So after a quick check on the internet we found the Bendene one and a half hours before landing in Exeter. the lady on the phone was helpful and more than pleasant. We duly arrived and were given a thorough overview of the... more

Our stay at The Bendene during October was very pleasureable. The whole experience will stay with us for some time. The room was well decorated, enough space to move about and store our luggage, the ensuite shower room was well equipped, although compact. Due to our room being on the top floor, there was virtually no noise from the road... more

This guest house (it's not a hotel) went over and above my expectations for what a Bed and Breakfast should be: well priced rooms, comfortable bed, coffee- and tea-making facilities too. The TV had free view, and there's free wi-fi that worked perfectly (an unexpected bonus). Above all, the room itself was lovely to sleep in - quiet, pleasant and... more

Upon arriving, myself and my friend were greeted by the manager who was friendly and polite. She asked how our journey had been and if we had any problems finding the place, which we hadn't. We were shown to our room on the first floor which was tasteful, clean and warm with a lovely view of the swimming pool. There... more

Had a wonderful three nights at The Bendene. Our room was spotlessly clean, lovely decoration and quite a good size for a guest house-lovely compfy bed. The ensuite shower was separate from the toilet in the room, but all well lit and gleeming. Breakfast was a good feast (had something different each day). The waitresses were very helpful and attentive... more

We were quoted what we were told was a discounted rate, which was higher than that advertised for a standard room, but lower than a superior. Naturally, we assumed we were booked into a superior, so imagine our surprise when we walked into one of the smallest room we have stayed in for a long time (16). A chair was... more
