Overall very good. Excellent food but we arrived for our 7 pm dinner reservation to be told the kitchen was closed until 7.30. After a long and difficult journey to get to the hotel courtesy of Storm Bert this was very disappointing. Even at check in we were not given this information

Quaint little boutique hotel with plenty of gathering space when traveling with others. The not so secret garden is an awesome place to eat, drink and socialize. The staff are so nice and helpful!

The property was very close to town but in a nice quiet area. The rooms were excellent and everything of high quality. The pub itself was lovely, a very cool and unique place to stay.

Our check in was lovely, as was the waitress service at breakfast but for £260 the room was in a poor state and definitely not worth the money paid. We have written an email to the property to explain our disappointment. The room was dirty and in need of some immediate maintenance and we had no hot water at all during our stay (had cold showers for our daughters graduation) We reported this but received no response at all. The poor breakfast waitress was running around trying to do everything in her own at 8:30am in the morning. Absolutely not £260 of accommodation I’m afraid. Beautiful building but not looked after or maintained.

Lovely room, super comfy bed with quality amenities & furnishing. As a solo traveller I was a bit uncertain about no night staff/security but I felt safe & secure in the end. Would stay again

First of all the property was amazing. The pub/restaurant was cozy and beautiful. Our room was comfortable and very clean.
The staff were very attentive and helpful. We had issues with our tv and also transportation issues due to train strikes. The staff helped us immediately and made our stay very enjoyable.
Lastly, the breakfast was amazing. Thank you !!

Really nice hotel near the city centre. Very short walk away from train stations (Exeter Central and Exeter St David's) and the cathedral.
The room was a great size and very clean. There was also some complimentary port and flapjacks which was a lovely surprise when we arrived.
The breakfast was really tasty and decently priced (£15 for a cooked breakfast, unlimited hot drinks, and a small continental breakfast buffet).
Only negative for me was that it was sometimes quite hard to find a member of staff. There was no one on the reception desk when we wanted to check in/out, but managed to get someone from the bar to help us both times. Staff were very friendly - just a bit elusive!

Very kind staff, good location, lovely decor, and sweet welcome gift. Walls are thin, however, with slopping and creaking floors (and bed), and an overly complicated and temperamental TV. Have already noted to management that the WiFi requires far too much personal information in order to log in. Feels intrusive and corporate for an otherwise homey place.

Friendly and accommodating staff, quirky and stylish hotel and bar, slightly off the main drag but just a short walk to shops and restaurants. Would happily recommend a stay at this hotel.

Lovely room, really well appointed and spotless. TV didn’t work and after trying to mend it, staff moved me to another room. The TV didn’t work in that room either, so early night!
