“This hotel strikes a balance, offering modern comforts with an appreciation for Exeter's history-the neo-Georgian architecture certainly makes an impression. I especially appreciate the focus on guest experience, from the diverse breakfast options to the secluded terrace lounge. Its location is excellent for exploring the city centre while promising quiet nights.”
