Beautiful but too hot to sleep.
Pros:

The decor and staff.

Cons:

It was a heat wave at the time and fans were provided, but the room was so very hot all night. Their was only one small window (so no air flow) and it was fixed to open only a few inches. They really must install aircon!

Comfortable and convenient
Pros:

Location as it is close to our daughter’s

Cons:

It is lovely and a lot of care and expense has been invested in the rooms etc, but it is quite pricey compared to other hotels in the area. More on a par with London rates, but quiet and easy to access. Breakfasts are excellent.

Ley Arms.
Pros:

Our room was fabulous, the decor was exceptional the only issue we had was the ventilation in the room. We understand the difficulties of ground floor rooms and windows opening too wide ie. security issues. If we did return, a first floor room would be better for us.

Cons:

Dinner on our first evening was disappointing, my starter of ravioli was completely tasteless and the so called bubble and squeak with my main dish was some rather bland mash potato with vegetables made into a patty. Then to have it on my breakfast plate in the morning was bizarre. Our breakfast was superb apart from carrots and beans in some tasteless mash.

Super clean rooms. Comfortable beds. Convenient location.
Pros:

The location was very convenient as we were visiting Exeter University. The rooms were very clean and spacious. The toiletries were very nice.

Cons:

We happened to be visiting during an unusually hot spell. Despite the fan in the room it was very hot and uncomfortable to sleep. Air conditioning would be a welcome addition.
