Braeside offers inexpensive accommodation near the centre of Exeter. It is clean and the breakfast is quite good. A bit stingy on the heating. It was cold in the morning. read more

You could probably spend a while here enjoying them all, possibly reading a free copy of the Daily Moral Outrage or choosing something to eat from the sticky menu . Depending on when you go. One of the hazards of a hotel bar is that they let children in (with their parents of course). In this case the parents were doing their best to ignore their obnoxious child, but his tactic of repeating what he said in an ever louder voice until they acknowledged him always worked eventually, by which time all in the proximity had suffered. I'm sure this is quite a nice place, possibly deserving of more than a 3but all I can remember is the devil child.
Mercure Exeter Rougemont Hotel

I have now stayed here with my wife on four occasions. The hotel is wonderful for its old world…read morecharm yet modern conveniences. The larger king size rooms are fantastic. The midsized rooms nice but a bit tight for space, and the rooms smaller than 226 square feet are really a no-go for couples. There is parking in the forecourt, subject to availability, and a great breakfast for only £10. However, what this hotel really has going for it is location. Right across from Exeter Central and close to the shopping district.

Yes, the room was a little warm and some of the other guests were a little loud (I think there was a school party in!) but what the hotel could control was really good. I agree that the hotel feels a little dated, but the duty manager showed us around the impressively refurbished (but at the time unopened) restaurant and informed us that the third floor was also being done up. The breakfast spread is pretty impressive and I found every member of the team professional, knowledgeable and friendly.

The…read morestaff was friendly and accommodating but coming from the US, the home of huge hotels this was very downsized and seemed old in comparison. But it quickly became one of my favorites. We had a room overlooking the street which I liked a lot. And breakfast was awesome, they go all out. Since it was my first trip there I had the full English breakfast and if you do that you really are good until evening. You could also modify the breakfast to suit your taste. Very clean hotel as well. ALSO this hotel is only about a 7 minute walk to the train station, very convenient. If I return to Exeter I WILL stay here.
I couldn't believe the wonderful location of my room in this hotel. My room looked out onto a…read morewooden platform (where I could have sat if it had ever stopped raining) and then over rolling hills and the countryside. The room was small but lovely, the bed was very comfortable and the tv had a decent number of channels for the short time I would be spending in the room. The location of the hotel itself is really good, near the Exeter St Davids station and not too far from the city centre. Breakfast was ok..I don't really like English breakfasts so I had to ask for certain things to be left off which they didn't always get right. The worst thing about my stay was the light coloured curtains. It was impossible to avoid the early morning sun pouring into the room and waking me up before 7am (fine on any other day, but not on holiday). The staff were friendly and If I come back to Exeter I might well stay here again.

I guess they probably open it all up at busy times. There were only two ales on when I visited, but one of them was a really good stout from Wychwood, that I had never encountered before. The food menu looked good so I decided to give it a try and had a delicious mild beef curry. The pub/hotel has been around for centuries!

Bendene Hotel
Stayed here regularly for almost a year so think this qualifies me to write a review!…read moreEasily accessible and within walking distance of the town centre. Parking is limited, some at the back of the hotel approx 3 spaces + a garage, and some from 6pm 9am at the front. Usually, I managed to get a free space. There is also a lovely and well maintained pool, but sadly I never had the time nor the weather to check it out. Some rooms are better than others, and I stayed in most of them. Always had an en suite. Always clean and always a good supply of hot water. Sometimes tricky to lug your case up four flights to the top rooms after a long day. Good breakfast included in the price, wide range and always perfectly cooked. Would stay again.

Exeter Arms Hotel is a Toby establishment situated just out of the city centre opposite Middlemoor…read morePolice Station. It has its own car park and is disabled friendly with the pub and restaurant being on one floor. The food is very good toby menu with a carvery on every day priced at just £5 before the main evening rush and then only a marginal increase. The carvery is very very good, and I thoroughly recommend the cauliflower cheese. As with most Toby establishments, you can help yourself to as much vegetables and gravy, etc. The desserts are simple but nice especially the chocolate brownie fudge cake with ice cream. Again if you go before the evening sessions the desserts are half price also. Nice house wines, variety of real ales and magnum on draft - what more could you ask for. There is accomodation available, but I have not tried these facilities so I cannot comment on them. The staff are very friendly and helpful and will always try to accomodate your seating requests.

As well as the accommodation there's a great pub and a couple of different options for eating. The double room we had was on the small side I must admit, but it contained everything we needed and was very clean and tidy. We had an en suite toilet and shower which was kept spotless throughout our stay. The room had a TV and tea and coffee-making facilities (including bottled water and a good supply of biscuits which was replenished every day). The pub is lovely, with thick stone walls and an open fire. There's no TV or jukebox for those of us who like things relaxed and peaceful. The whole place is family run and it really shows (though there are other staff there too at other times) - everyone was really friendly. The food was great and after the first night we learned not to have a starter as we simply couldn't finish one and then have a main course - this is very unusual for us as we're a pair of fat, greedy Badgers! There was a great range of choices and plenty of options for vegetarians. Breakfast was equally good with lots of choice, including kippers and eggs boiled to your specified time, apart from the usual full English. Prices, for accommodation, drinks and meals, were all reasonable so give it a go if you're in the area.

All we really wanted was a good night's sleep in a comfortable room while we visited friends in Devon, and that's exactly what we got, plus a decent shower, clean bathroom, good air conditioning and a peaceful atmosphere. It's also really handy for the racecourse and the Sunday morning car boot sale, and there's a big Tesco across the road if you need supplies. What might we change? More towels, please! I can think of quite a few four-star hotels that this Premier Inn would put to shame, and we didn't spend a fortune on the room, either. We skipped breakfast, but it's available at the adjoining Beefeater Grill. Parking is also very good.

The…read moretrue reason behind the Best Western takeover of this hotel was the addition of the Premier Inn chain coming to Newton Abbot. The Premier Inn is extremely basic, but it is also very new and clean. This review will be comparing the Passage House to the Premier Inn, as they are the two best/only options in Newton Abbot. Food Options: Premier Inn wins this category. They have an onsite restaurant (Beefeater Grill) that is decent, but they are also directly across from a Tesco and a 1 mile walk from downtown. The passage house has a limited fine dining restaurant in the hotel and a Pub on site. The pub food is marginal at best, and the restaurants don't have ideal hours of operation. The Passage House does get a bonus point for having a mini fridge in the room. Facilities: This one is a draw. Premier Inn is newer and cleaner, but the passage house has better amenities. One major note, the Passage House does NOT have A/C. So if you catch one of the few hot weeks in South England, you are in for a miserable stay (which I experienced on this visit). The Passage House has a pool and a fitness center, but the equipment in the fitness center is extremely outdated. While staying at either place, your best option is to visit Winners 2000 or the Newton Abbot Leisure Center for a local workout. The Passage House does have a running trail that connects you to downtown Newton Abbot, which is nice if it's not raining (so almost never). Lastly, the wifi is terrible at both places (UK standard), but at least it is free at the Passage House.

This is a really good pub which also has good food and doubles as a small hotel. The beer, food and rooms are all excellent; the landlord and staff are welcoming and the locals friendly. Having stayed there yesterday, I can also vouch for the quality, variety and quantity of the breakfast which was a great starter for the day. There's only very quiet background music and a small television in the bar, but there is free Wi-Fi for those who need it. Residents have access to a small but comfortable lounge if they wish to relax outside of both their rooms and the bar. There's plenty of parking, both in front and at the rear of the pub via an archway, and a small patio and grassy area at the rear. There's a website at http://www.poacherspocket.co.uk for those who are interested in investigating further or arranging a visit. I'll certainly be going back.
