Great staff!

Very accommodating staff. Arrived on one of the hottest days of the year. Staff member offered me an air conditioning unit. He’d also tried to keep the room as cool as possible, prior to check in. Would recommend people to stay here.

Lovely old Victorian house run by a delightful family. Our room was spacious and charming. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were very accommodating to our complicated dietary restrictions (some vegetarian, multiple allergies). We would definitely stay again next time we're in Exeter! Travelers without a car should know that, although very close to St. David's station, the walk to the hotel is up a steep hill. But well worth it!

check in was awesome, even though we arrived later than originally expected. Room was great, beds comfortable. My only concern has been that when I booked I didn't pick up the fact that our room did not have an ensuiite bathroom.

Took single room for the night prior to taking part in the Great West Run. Compact and basic but everything one needed, with some very nice extra touches such as real coffee and a tiny cafetiere in the room. The tiles in the bathroom are beautiful.

Mystery Guide Visit

Great location near St David's Station (travelled on train) and adjacent to City Centre. Got upgraded to a double bed. Breakfast was lovely but was very busy and a bit chaotic but overall my stay was very good value. Also, I left some clothes behind and the team were very helpful in reuniting it with me.

Misleading Advertisement

On Hotels.com site, I entered three preferences (private rest room, free parking, twin beds) and only one was applied to the room we received (twin beds). No air conditioning and no windows in the room. Broken fan (I had to fix it. Misleadingly named a "hotel" when it is an "English Inn" (converted home). Not clear whether breakfast was included. No hand towels or face towels. Room had odors.

Stayed in a single room with shared bathroom for one night. The bathrooms were never occupied which was good. Facilities were good and clean, staff were friendly and the breakfast was great! Good price too and so close to the station made it convenient. I would stay again :).
