Great city to visit everything you need is close by trains buses good shops and restaurants coffee shops and pleasant river walks holds a lot of history sorry to see the lovely old hotel and buildings close by have been distroyed by fire but they are working on it to bring it back to how it used to be love seeing the progress of it all it's going to look great when it's finished Devon is the place to be i know I used to live there.
Exeter Carhedral a must visit. Very pretty and really fun. Start the Jurassic Coast trip from Exmouth. Everyone should visit this beautiful coastal region. Easy distance to Marazion and Lands End. Torquay and Tor Bay.
Loved the Albert museum and gallery, well worth visiting but you need more than a day there. Pity about the Tudor House, which was shut during our stay. The cathedral is a must, so nice to see the market there saturday and the place lively and being used. Loved the Northernhay and Rougemont Gardens in town. If we had an extra day, we would have rented a canoe or paddle boat to go on the river by the quay.
The centre of Exeter which was a former Roman city is easy to walk around as it is compact and level. The Quay which is down on the river Exe has some interesting architecture and eateries. The Precinct and Guildhall pedestrian shopping center has many leading stores.
If you like to look at blocks of student flats you will love Exeter because there is nothing else to see until they complete the next one in about 3 months. There are currently 6 under construction in the city centre. Under the Labour council and MP Exeter has become a slum over the last 30 years and you are likely to find more beggars and people sleeping in shop doorways during the day than anywhere else I have been in the world. Exeter has the highest immigrant population of any town or city west of Bristol. Its claim to fame is that it won an award for the best clone-town in the country, that is with a high street solely composed of "usual suspect" national brand shops and no local interesting shops at all. It is all about catering to students. The whole of the city centre is made up of student flats and now the council are going to demolish the bus station and build a swimming pool so they can go swimming without walking more than 100 metres. If I had more income and was not retired I would be making plans to leave right now. I enjoy trips elsewhere in my quest to find decent pubs. There are none in Exeter Enough!
It's a compact little city easy to walk around with some lovely places to eat, drink and just relax whether that's in the parks, by the quayside or lounging on the grass in Cathedral Green on a sunny day. Some great shops for a city its size and a young atmosphere helped by a growing university. Useful base to explore the south Devon coast and Dartmoor. Worth a weekend stay - maybe longer as a base. Further things to try: underground passages, RAMM, cycle hire from the quay and a ride along the canal to Turf Lock, train trip from Exeter Central to Teignmouth along the coast for a beer on the back beach, independent shops on Fore Street and Magdalen Road. Ale: The Hour Glass (also excellent for gin & whiskey), Fire House (excellent for cider too), Exeter Brewey Taphouse Thursday evenings only. The Bridge Inn in Topsham is a worthwhile little trip for ale fans. Cheap n tasty food: TyePyeDong, Dinosaur Cafe, The Flat Night life: this is where Exeter gets a bit pubby and not so clubby ...try Timepiece (it's a safe bet) Travel tip: Exeter's a small city yet has nine railway stations ...often very convenient. Exeter Central is bang in the centre (St Davids is not)
“The location is ideal for exploring Exeter. The breakfast is very good. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff are warm, welcoming and helpful. The Telstar is my go to accommodation in Exeter. In fact, I have two more visits booked for this year.”
“Exeter City centre was nice, The time spent away from the hotel was very enjoyable.”
“The hotel itself was very nice and local for Exeter. Staff was pleasant and our room was very clean.”
“Was taking my mother to the hospital in Exeter and the position of the hotel was very easy to find off the motorway”
“Friendly staff, very personable receptionist. Comfortable room. Good central location. My second favourite Exeter hotel, (my fave has no parking so isn't practical). Will be staying here again soon.”
