Best in Exeter

We spent a very relaxing w/e at Southernhay House. The rooms are luxurious, spacious, clean and very comfortable. The staff are welcoming, friendly and accommodating. Bar and restaurant are both beautifully designed with many references to the building's historic past. The food was excellent also.

8/10 Very good

Very comfortable bed . Incredible bath . Very convenient for cathedral , station and sights . Staff very courteous . Only whinge is for the cost of the room I would have expected more choice of tea s , coffees milk etc and maybe a pack of biscuits !! Despite warning I thought more care could have been taken for dietary intolerances or warning me to find an alternative restaurant for evening meal .

Stay here!! It’s brilliant.

We loved it. Quirky and comfortable room, great friendly staff and amazing location for getting to the nearby restaurants and the cathedral. We didn’t eat at the hotel because of its closeness to everything so can’t comment. Great setting and great stay!

6/10 Good

說實話，我看了小紅書過來的，地理位置很OK，但房間真的不行，小不說了，廁所只夠一個人轉身，居然還沒有咖啡機！！想喝咖啡只能每天去下樓買到院子喝。歷史建築物是噱頭，但我覺得價格太貴，兩晚550磅。花園還行吧，可能我住英國，覺得還行吧，價格太高。

An Exeter Warm Welcome Back!

It has recently just reopened and was very well set up and organised to deal with social distancing but keeping a very welcoming greeting with excellent service throughout our stay, highly recommended

A comfortable stay.

This small hotel has an interesting history and is very close to shopping and the Exeter Quayside. We received a very warm welcome on arrival, with tea and biscuits. Our bedroom was very comfortable with a well appointed bathroom. Although a limited menu for dinner the food was freshly prepared, plentiful and delicious. Breakfast is excellent with fresh orange juice, pastries, and a good choice of hot dishes. Loved the pancakes, bacon and maple syrup! Like dinner everything was freshly prepared. Service was friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The only downside is the lack of parking on site but there is plenty of on street parking and a multi storey car park is only three minutes away.

Good stay away from boring chains

Good hotel that’s a change from the chains. Didn’t have hair conditioner in the rooms which I thought was odd and there is a student block opposite which has a lot of noise middle of the night

This hotel has a fantastic location, minutes from the cathedral and all shops and restaurants. The team at this hotel are so welcoming and helpful and serve the most beautiful and well thought out breakfast...little pot of berries, yoghurt and granola, mini croissants, fresh orange juice and then a delicious menu to select your actual breakfast from. The bar is a really nice area and they make great cocktails. Would highly recommend this place!

Gem in central Exeter

Great to find a well appointed , clean , characterful hotel with thoughtful touches and not too commercial . Lots of atmosphere in the bar on Friday evening . Didn’t stay for breakfast as I had booked room only - but smelt and looked great as I walked past on the Saturday morning . Will definitely be back .

Superb and exactly what we expected when searching for a boutique hotel. Excellent location, so close to the city centre but in a quiet spot. Reception also looked after my mobile charger for a few days, having left it behind. Would not hesitate going back for those special occasions.
