Excellent hotel if you have got to get an early flight. Very welcoming and clean . Easy to park and check in . Brewers fayre next door could have been better.

Eat somewhere else
Pros:

The hotel is great. And just what you expect from a premier inn.

Warm welcome ( thanks Pamela) and great rooms.

But I warn you. Have the breakfast from the brewers fayre next door. But stay away from the even meal. And the meal deal is not worth it.

The meals were dry and hard to swallow. The dessert 🎂 were just a con. We couldn't eat the burgers. The chips you would get better quality at Tesco own brand.

The ice cream Sundays. 75% whipped cream 1 scoop of ice cream and a few chocolate bits.

The breakfast 🥞 was perfect. I would suggest a subway across the road. It would be better value and better tasting.

Amazing, calm, peaceful, quiet, relaxing.
Pros:

It was lovely, very clean and tidy, staff was very kind. Service amazing, parking area really good and spacious, the breakfast was perfect, complimentary water and coffee in the plus room. Traffic wasn’t bad, not far from where I needed to be. Good price for what I paid, worth every penny, it was a great atmosphere, the kids loved it, would recommend due to its friendly staff and environment. Quite quiet in the evening you can’t hear others in the other rooms absolutely amazing for peace and quiet Just not with the kids haha.

Lovely hotel 10/10
Pros:

Beautiful place. The atmosphere was amazing such nice staff. It was very clean everything was done good i loved my stay. Overall my stay was enjoyable such nice comfy beds. Where I was before getting to the hotel was easy but a lot of traffic. You can’t hear any movements from the neighbours. My stay was definitely worth it for the price i paid.

Dump/ mouldy room
Pros:

As with many Premier Inn experiences, I can’t say it’s worth the money. It’s fine for a basic 1–2 night stay where you only need a place to sleep, but not much more than that.

I stayed for one night and paid £72 for a family room on a Saturday. Decent, but definitely pricey for the conditions.

The bathroom wasn’t properly cleaned - there were spiders, which terrified my daughter.
The shower is only an overhead shower (no hose), which isn’t ideal if you need to wash children quickly.

The biggest issue was the smell in the room. It was incredibly strong — a damp, mouldy smell that was impossible to ignore. We only coped because we arrived late and left early, so we weren’t in the room longer than 7–8 hours. I couldn’t face breathing that in any longer. I don’t know if it’s coming from the AC vents or the walls, but something isn’t right. It also wasn’t just our room — my friend in a separate room had exactly the same problem.

Very disappointing overall.
I wouldn’t recommend staying here, and I wouldn’t book again. I doubt this is something that will be fixed quickly.

Pros:

We stayed at Pr.Inn Nth for a total of 7 nights whilst visiting relatives nearby. The receptionist (Kirsty) is our hero. She went over and above to help us with our inquiries re the local area, the local cemetery and the local council. We cant thank her enough. As well as helping me with my booking mistakes (on the internet) she was a mine of information re Scottish history and the area in general. To add to that, the breakfasts were great, taken in a very relaxing atmosphere and the staff there were great too. The girls who were cleaning the rooms were also friendly and helpful. We would certainly stay again.

Definitely one of the better Premier Inns!
Pros:

We received a friendly welcome, and were directed to a nice, clean room. The bathroom was small and standard, but it's always nice to have the option of a bath. There was plenty of car parking space, and the food facilities close by were useful. It was also nice to be able to open the windows to get fresh air, which is sometimes not available at Premier Inns.

The room was cold on entering, however, and it would have been appreciated if the radiator had been on ready for us - though the room heated up quickly. Also, the extra pillows were not "security sealed for protection" (the tag was open), though they were clearly clean. The room was a bit noisy, due to boy racers screaming out of the petrol station at all hours, though in retrospect, we would ask for a room on the other side of the corridor if we ever stayed here again - and one at the end of the corridor, instead of being first. Also, it was appalling the number of disrespectful people in cars and vans who parked in the disabled bays. I appreciate that the car park is not managed directly by the hotel. But the hotel (or Horizon) should have the authority to slap (hard to remove) stickers on these vehicles driven by entitled, selfish people...

But all in all, we had a good stay. All the staff that we encountered were genuinely polite and friendly - credit to them all! And so, I would recommend this hotel, and be happy to return if we needed to be in the area.

Handy for overnight when returning to UK off the Roscoff ferry
Pros:

Handy for the M5 but a bit fiddly to find because it isn’t visible until you’re already entering the car park. Charge for parking. Not all Premier Inns have accessible rooms but this one has. Everywhere looked spotless.
Breakfast is served at the Brewer’s Fare (as it should be spelled!) next door and is plentiful if not cordon bleu.

Very Good Three Star Hotel
Pros:

Exactly what you would expect from a Premier Inn. Easy to find, reasonablely clean and comfortable, with an attached restaurant. The breakfast was very good, and it was very convenient to be able to eat in the restaurant in the evening. As has been mentioned in other reviews, the car park needs work, not to mention someone to pick up the litter. The petrol station was handy as we had driven up from West Yorkshire and were at the beginning of a 12 night driving tour, so being able to quickly fill up the car before moving on was very helpful. I've taken a star off due to the state of the car park.

We will never stay in a Premier Inn again!
Pros:

I will never stay in a Premier in again. The fact that it was the weekend Exeter university students were moving in to their halls meant the price of the room was inflated to over double the usual rate.

We paid £180 for a room that if you book this weekend would be £71 and we were met with a dirty car park, very basic facilities, a very musty smelling room, mould in the bath and a receptionist who was totally aghast at how much we were paying. When they saw what the room cost was, they took a massive in take of breath and said "are you only staying for one night? that is SO expensive, wow, I can't believe that!" not really something you want to hear or realise that you have been completely ripped off!

Honestly, I have no more words!
