The location is fantastic as it is on the Cathedral Yard. Better however to arrive with a taxi as cars are not allowed as it is a pedestrian part of the city. It is a charming, very stylish and very well kept hotel. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The room we got was very nice and very big (even... more

Our first impressions were excellent - a beautiful building opposite Exeter Cathedral. The service reinforced that. On check-in, the staff member noticed my wife's crutches and asked us if we'd like a room near the lift. A nice touch that went a lot way. However, we did have a few issues with the room itself. As a Desirable room, it's... more

Stayed one night on business - arriving late on a Sunday night. Terrible trouble finding the hotel - my usually reliable sat nav couldn't find it, nor could the series of local people I stopped in the street to ask. Eventually phoned the hotel and spoke to the night porter - he has to be on the most helpful, considerate... more

Great rooms, great service, stayed here with some girlfriends for a night out in Exeter and will certainly go back to the hotel again. The service int the champagne bar at the hotel was top notch like the rest of the hotel. more

Impossible to access by car, motorcycle or horse unless one is super determined. Parking is miles away in a urine soaked public car park. Lift is hopeless, and reception staff complacent to all comments. Tiny and over priced rooms with horrid bathrooms without baths. Great view of Cathedral if you get one of those rooms. Hideously overpriced and bad breakfast. more

My husband and I enjoyed a mid-week lunch here earlier this month. Having eaten at Gidleigh Park Hotel we were expecting the food to be of a very similar, excellent standard and we were not disappointed. We would certainly recommend eating here for anyone looking for a special meal in the centre of Exeter. If anything, we thought the food... more

We went for lunch midweek. It was not busy. The food & room were excellent & on the whole, the staff attentive. However, one individual was very unprofessional & rude. When one of our party asked what did a meal come with he replied, "what it says on the menu." We laughed!, but he didn't see the joke. I used... more

I stayed here as part of an arduous business trip and found it very enjoyable. The staff were helpful, the room was good (although the bed was too soft but that's just down to personal preference) and the restaurant was fantastic. The standard of the food was very impressive. Little things seemed to matter to the staff (in a good... more

Used to be called The Royal Clarence Hotel - so much nicer. Quirky old building in a fabulous location a stone's throw from the cathederal. They have made the most of the rooms while keeping the wonky staircase and useless lift - no one closes the gates - with very comfortable beds, stylish bathrooms which look great but the showers... more
