The Exeter Inn

Check in was advertised at 3.00pm, arrived at 4.50pm but room was not available & hadn't been cleaned as the cleaner didn't turn up? Menu was reduced as the chef didn't turn up either and no toilet rolls in the bathroom. I gave my breakfast order the night before but it was not passed onto the cover chef in the morning, so in all not a great experience but...would I stay there again...definitely yes. Michelle and her team were amazing, they did everything possible to make my stay enjoyable and it was. The room was clean & spacious. The hotel is full of character & is attracting locals & passers by.
Michelle and her partner had just recently taken over and need time to settle in and put their stamp on the business. I will certainly return and stay longer next time. Thank you Michelle and all

Breakfast isn’t served until 8.30am. Had arranged for an 8.15 slot, came down stairs to the restaurant
To find it closed no one around. Waited until 8.30am still no one turned up. Really let the stay down. No good booking this for a business stay.

2nd stay at the Exeter Inn. Lovely and authentic. Great sleep and good breakfast.8

Great place to stay, staff very helpful

From the previous reviews and the website we were hoping for really things. The food was okay but very small portions. The female owner was quite rude on arrival, seemed flustered and wasn’t that friendly throughout the stay. It was advertised as newly refurbished- it needs another good lick of paint and a good scrub. Overall it was just disappointing when you can see it has a lot more potential.

Under new management with a lot to get around. Staff and manager very pleasant and welcoming to a very old, rather tired coaching inn.
Good breakfast and evening meal.

Wonderful stay, incredible food, comfortable room and amazing hosts. Would stay again 100%.

hotel does not serve food after 4pm on a sunday, it had many items missing of the breakfast menu where you had to book a slot, the issue was they didnt start breakfast until 8am and I started work by then.
THey didnt clean the room in between the two days i stayed.

The table for working was very limited and not good enough for a business traveller and if you get a room on the front you have to deal with the noise from the drunken patrons arguing outside whilst smoking

Fabulous staff, really helpful! The bedrooms are very comfortable with lovely bathrooms!
Wide choice for breakfast!

Loved staying here clean and welcoming lovely rooms and dog friendly. £15 charge for dogs nightly we didn’t know until getting there but didn’t mind paying it as the staff/owners were super helpful and friendly would definitely stay again

Lovely Inn. Really friendly welcoming staff. Would definitely recommend.

the staff was very accommodating. The food was very good! I would definitely stay there again.

Check in was polite but rushed, shown to room and basically it was this is the room call us if you want anything. Started to unpack and found that the shelves attached to the clothes rail were thick with dust, and I mean thick, as was the rear of the settee which also had dog hairs on it which altogether spoilt the stay as you didn't know what was clean and what might be germy and we had seen no mention of dogs when booking, as we would not have booked there as wife is allergic to dogs. The evening food was OK but expensive for what it was,the breakfast was well cooked, some too well cooked and was to be honest pretty tasteless. We decide to mention it when we booked out, but surprise, there was a note on the bar door telling us to leave and lock the front door and post the keys back through the letterbox. All pretty un professional

I had a lovely stay here and cannot fault a thing about it.
I stayed on a Tuesday night which is their supper club evening, the restaurant was fully booked but they managed to squeeze me in. The food was lovely and really good value at £19 for 2 courses. The breakfast was also delicious!
The bed was incredibly comfy with a good selection of pillows.
The toiletries in the bathroom were locally sourced and really good quality.
I would 100% recommend and hope to return myself soon.

Had an exceptional nights stay. The accommodation was excellent l. The food in the bars was outstanding, will definitely be returning.

Excellent traditional and historic atmosphere, very friendly staff.

Fairly small, rural old British pub and Inn. It has been an Inn since the 1700s. Perfect if you want a traditional old British Inn experience. We loved it. Family group of five in two rooms.

We had a difficult journey with major car trouble to get to the Exeter Inn. After feeling stressed, exhausted and completely done in we arrived at the Exeter Inn and was greeted by Johnathan and Pip who couldn’t have made us feel any more welcome if they tried. Wow, wow and wow these guys are amazing, the place was amazing and the breakfast in the morning was stunning. Thank you, thank you, thank you guys and we would definitely go back again!!!

A lovely Country Inn in perfect location for exploring Exmoor. Staff we’re great; very friendly and helpful. Food great.

Awesome service, food and ambience. We will be back
