Recent Reviews in South Zeal

Leonardo Hotel Exeter

10/10 Excellent

"Great service from the front desk, restaurant, maintenance team and bar staff."

The Gissons Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room, bed, sheets & pillows amazing and tea, coffee, hairdryer essentials in place (accidental no toilet roll but sorted it). Road is noisy but would never mark it down for that, I knew before I arrived. Bar restaurant not open (again I knew before). Sadly that makes the place feel a bit lacking in atmosphere (& people). Seven Stars down the road, amazing food (check what nights kitchen open but always do pizza)"

St Andrews Hotel

8/10 Good

"Close to the Uni; parking, clean rooms, breakfast included; good price; check-in convenience"

Queens Court Hotel

8/10 Good

"Close to centre Exeter, excellent breakfast, very friendly staff"

Holiday Inn Express Exeter - City Centre by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room was Spotless. The bed waa comfortable- pillows a bit solid for me. Bathroom good but after showering the walk in shower water covered the floor making use of basin and toilet a bit hazardous. Breakfast was good and food regularly replenished."

Mercure Exeter Southgate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location with parking. Big clean room and comfy bed. Nice pool, hot tub and mini gym. Helpful staff on the front desk"

Hotel Du Vin Exeter

8/10 Good

"The room was lovely and the offer of a free drink in the bar in exchange for no housekeeping is clever. Such a good idea. Unfortunately the wedding in the hotel on Saturday night dominated all the communal areas of the hotel which meant that we couldn’t have the nightcap in the bar we were hoping for, as well as there being the thumping of the music from the wedding in our room until well after 11pm. Had we known yet the bar area would be pretty much out of action to other guests we might have chosen to stay elsewhere."

White Hart, Exeter by Marston's Inns

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel and staff all round brilliant"

The Moorland Hotel, Haytor, Devon

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at the Moorland Hotel Haytor and were very impressed from start to finish. The room was comfortable, well presented and had everything we needed, while the staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive throughout our stay. The location is fantastic, with the beautiful Dartmoor landscape right on the doorstep, making it an ideal base for exploring the area. The service was excellent and really added to the overall experience. We also had brunch during our stay, which was excellent — a great choice of food, beautifully presented and very enjoyable. Overall, a lovely hotel in a superb location with genuinely friendly service. We would happily stay here again and would definitely recommend it."
