The hotel is ideally located just steps away from the Exeter Cathedral and the city center, making it convenient yet peaceful. The rooms offer a lovely view from the window, perfect for relaxing with a drink. However, the open bathroom design might not suit those seeking privacy. The service was consistently helpful and friendly, making my stay more enjoyable. The dining experience was delightful, with perfectly cooked dishes in a beautifully refurbished dining room. Overall, a great choice for exploring Exeter with some minor room privacy concerns.

During my next stay, I enjoyed the chilled-out music but was disappointed to have a view of a brick wall opposite. My aching body and empty stomach didn't fully appreciate the experience, although the service was exceptional.
