    Very clean and comfortable. Bed was super comfy. Within close walking distance to both Exeter Central Station and St Davids. Also very close to city centre. Lovely breakfast and would definitely stay again.

    The location for getting into the center of Exeter was fantastic, a short 10 minute walk with a fabulous bakery (The Exploding Bakery) along the way. The free parking, although a little tight to get round the corner, was excellent. All the staff...

    Great location very close to town and just a few minutes walk from Exeter St David's train station. The staff were all lovely and the room was really comfortable. We didn't stay for breakfast but next time we visit we will make sure we have time...
