Just returned from a weekend away and was pleasantly surprised by this Hotel. It is tucked away but the instructions on the website are good. It's only got a twenty odd rooms and no leisure facilities but the rooms are of a good standard. The food and public areas are good and the Staff friendly and helpful We would thoroughly... more

My husband booked a room for himself but I decided to tag along and when we arrived on a cold evening were met by a very surly receptionist who reprimanded us for only booking for one and told us in no uncertain terms that we would have to pay an extra £30 on top of the £70 already charged. Most... more

The Hotel is only 5 miles from the centre of Exeter and set in lovely countryside with amazing views. The hotel interior itself is fairly dated although in keeping with the age of the property. TV's are new LCD widescreen’s; rooms are very clean and very large. There is also tea/coffee, biscuits and two bottles of water in the room... more

The only thing going for the Lord Haldon is the view. My room was very dated; old appliances, old wall paper, stained carpets, curtains that did not close etc. The shower cubicle was covered in grime and the whole place gave me the heeby jeebys. Staff were not particularly welcoming except for the gentleman waitor at breakfast time. I really... more

Stayed for two nights whilst attending a wedding here. Perfect setting for a wedding and reception was very well catered. However got distinct impression that weddings and corporate functions are what they do and you are not very welcome if merely staying here. Disinterested staff, very dated rooms, very expensive bar meals (£12.95 for literally 2 fish cakes on a... more

This hotel is a relic of 1950's English Attitudes and Approach to business. Having gone to the Lord Haldon for a romantic time with my wife, I felt myself in the same "toe curling" pain that you get when you have to pay £8 for a burger in a Motorway Service Station or feel obliged to tip a waiter in... more

Recently stayed here for one night on business. Hard to find but a lovely old building and very peaceful. Room 8 was decorated in the 80s I would say and although in need of updating the fittings were of decent quality (TV and shower aside) The bathroom was very 80's, wallpaper and carpet and only a small extractor fan away... more

In fact we got married here. A great place for a wedding on a sunny day. The setting is superb, food excellent, Staff fine. As some people have already observerd, the decor needs updating tough this doesn't spoil the stay. Make sure you have a GOOD map (its a little difficult to find). Try and approach from the Haldon Forest... more

Booked one night for two single rooms for a business trip. Myself and colleagues are normally keen to try something different to the bog-standard Holiday Inn fayre, and this certainly fitted the bill!! As previous reviewers have said, this is in what feels like a remote location, so be prepared for the taxi fare if travelling by train. Very peaceful... more

My wife and I enjoyed a 6 day stay (DBB) at the 'Lord Haldon '...but with the following slight reservations... Although only 4 miles from Exeter ,its location is very much off the 'beaten track' and not easy to find in daylight...impossible at night, on your first visit. When you find it, the hotel location is excellent....it sits on a... more
