"There’s only a small minor the spa could do with a spinner for swimming costumes"

"It's a rare joy to find a hotel with in room controlled aircon. I'd rebook just for that! The hotel is a grand old place and parking is a nightmare. But it's well situated with a sea walk just yards from your door and a surprisingly quiet location close to town."

"It wasn't free and I left before I ate. But I am sure it would have been great"

"Only stayed for a night but room was nice, staff friendly. "

"Lovely historic hotel, very pleasant and helpful staff, good food and bar, easy parking. All great. Only suggestion for improvement was brighter bedside lights for reading. But loved our stay!"

"Some Bath water leaked on to floor on emptying! Bed mattress too hard for me. Very quiet location on top floor of annexe excellent. Overall more than satisfactory. "

"The reason I revisit the royal Exeter again and again is eveything from the friendly staff, the entertainment; the cleanliness and the breakfast, it’s a wonderful stay "

"Staff were wonderful and attentive. The hotel and restaurant are really special and beautiful. I loved the history of the place. "
