Exceptional all around.
I can't say enough about the lovely hotel. Everything was exceptional - from the service to the accommodations and the food. For a posh English stay, it's a must.

Hospitality meets history, with class.

Really great
We stayed in sugar, Really lovely room - honestly the best shower I’ve ever had in my life no clue how they get the water pressure that strong but it was incredible. Slept very well and the breakfast was fantastic And what a convenient location.

Great location for exploring city centre
Pros: Central property if you’re wanting explore the centre of Exeter. Cons: There is no parking on site. You can pull in to drop off / pick up luggage. With the additional cost of off site parking, this makes this accommodation very pricy.
