Great stay, will stay again.
Pros:

lovely comfortable rooms. The full size shampoos and lotions were a nice touch and beautiful quality too.

Cons:

In the bar restaurant (reception level) it would have been nice to have had a more variety on the menu. After a long drive I was tired and wanted to eat at in there, but it was a limited menu, so had to go off site and find somewhere else to eat. The View restaurant, I was told was booked up.

Cons:

Asked about dinner on arrival at 8pm and was told only available in the bar. Food not good. Only found out the next day that there is a restaurant on top floor and receptionist told me it was fully booked. I expressed surprise that as a solo guest they couldn’t squeeze me .

Perfect stay location for an Exeter cheifs game
Pros:

Property was super clean
And staff were really friendly

Cons:

We had some of the snack food available late at night in the reception however for 2 microwave pizza (which were not good at all) and 2 cadburys caramel it cost £11.50 I think this is extremely overpriced and maybe they could offer something better?
