Southernhay House Hotel
4.4/544 Reviews

Southernhay House Hotel

Exeter|2.98km from Exeter Arena
This was the third hotel we stayed at on this UK trip. We arrived a few hours before the stated check in time and instead of ”you can check in now, but I'll have to charge you for an extra day” we were told that the room would probably be ready in an hour - they'd let us know and we were welcome to have a drink or some lunch. We had both a drink and some lunch and then we were informed that the room was ready and our bags had already been taken upstairs. No extra charge. And unlike so many hotels these days, they actually tidy the room and change out the linens on a daily basis. Just like before Covid! The staff are delightful. After a day or so the staff get to know you and what your preferences are. They brought me glasses of water when I was sitting outside without being asked. The bartenders were very good at mixing cocktails and perfectly made drinks they were unfamiliar with. The food in the restaurant was exceptionally good, although we had one hiccup with a breakfast. We only had dinner there one evening - for a group of 8. It was a bit pricy but the service made it worth it. Very close to the cathedral and shopping. Staff suggestions for dining outside the property were mostly very good. I wish they'd had a lift as it was very difficult for me to navigate the stairs, but I was aware of that before we arrived and I managed. (They did bring the bags down for us when we checked out.) We were a group of three couples staying and they were very accommodating. Any deficiencies are made up by the excellence of the staff.

Travelodge Exeter M5
3.6/541 Reviews
Really great to have an old-style furnished Travelodge - where there's actually a dedicated suitcase space, decent clothes hanging space, shelves, plus enough work surface to accommodate tea/coffee/foodstuffs, dressing table accoutrements (of which I have loads!), all ones work documents plus laptop, and then a TV! Also a large enough bedside table to have phone, tissues, glass of water, specs nearby.
Queens Court Hotel
4.4/5104 Reviews
We used this hotel as our base to tour South Devon. The hotel was above and beyond our expectations. Our room was comfortable, the bathroom was large and well stocked. The hotel staff were exceptional, shout out for Alfie who was so friendly and helpful. The breakfast is amazing! Great choice of individually packaged cereals, fresh fruit, danish pastries, and a choice of hot breakfasts including dishes such as poached eggs with smoked salmon. All topped of by a great choice of clipper teas or coffee. Can totally recommend this little gem of a hotel.
Clarion Collection Hotel Buckerell Lodge
2.6/542 Reviews
We have stayed at the buckerall lodge before as we married in the hotel. We were looking forward to s weekend away bit of Christmas spirit. Never again will I stay at this hotel, pre booked, turned up at time agreed on booking given key by very inefficient staff more worried about there phone and joking with each other, should not be front of house to greet guest very poor manners. Give key then had to ask which room, went up to room waiting to enjoy down time . Entered room OMG door open,towels on floor clearly dirty, bed looked slept in closer inspection reveal used sheets dirty marks dirty pillows well not sure the constitute pillows. Went to complain and the young lady at reception came up told us it was clean and I pointed out pulling the covers over bed and picking up towels was not cleaning the room, she left and huffed at my wife. Again I returned to reception and complained and was offered free drinks for the wait and inconvenience. My wife came down and with the look of sheer disappointment,I asked for a refund as I would not stay now even if it was free. The young lady who had checked our room !!! was talking to another member of staff had to be reminded not to swear in front of guest. This is not the weekend away we wanted Please think before you book SAD DISAPPOINTING
Bendene Townhouse - Exeter
4/576 Reviews
Hotel room is good, big, very clean, good value for money, but the hotel is old-fashioned villas without elevators, the hotel did not consider the age level when arranging guests to stay, I was arranged for the 4th floor room, had asked to change the lower floor room, However, the hotel said that there is no such room, and it can only be forced to climb the stairs every day. It is very tired. Fortunately, the reception staff has a good service attitude and helped me to carry the heavy big boxes upstairs. I hope that the hotel will consider the age of the guests and the convenience of staying when arranging the room.

University of Exeter - Holland Hall
3.8/537 Reviews
Lovely place to stay, wonderful views as it is up a hill. Free parking, brilliant breakfast, all you can eat and drink with FIVE different types of milk for your cereal or coffee! We had three student rooms, all with a double bed and en-suite shower room. I think these are student rooms in a corridor and are designed for one person but they suited us 5 fine. We had a fridge in our room, not sure if they are in all accommodation. Lovely grounds to stroll around. You might have to drive around to find a parking space so it may not be close to the rooms. It is a hilly site with about 20 minute walk into town but there are busses about. We saw two lounges, one with a snooker table and the other with boxed games available, both had lovely views across the valley. A Weatherspoons very close if you want to eat dinner or have a beer
