8/10 Good
"Location was perfect for Exmouth..Staff were extremely helpful & friendly. As with most large old Hotels on the coast a little tired and in need of some TLC but good value for money considering breakfast included and Bar with a view onto the promenade and large outdoor seating area. Large parking area for additional £6 per day."

Hotel Du Vin Exeter

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."
