Property and room were very clean. Only stayed one night and didn’t get to experience the restaurant or continental breakfast, but they looked good. I like the “inn” feel as opposed to feeling like I’m in a hotel.

The hotel is very nice and historic. Only stayed for one night and the restaurant and bar were closed so we can’t soak on that but the hotel was lovely and very centrally located in town.

The staff at the Exeter Inn were friendly and helpful. We stayed for 3 nights and they treated us like family! The continental breakfast was perfect with a wide selection along with real plates and cutlery. The menu in the Epoch restaurant was amazing, the salmon entree was excellent. We will definitely stay here again when in Exeter.

Friendly and welcoming staff. shower had good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Breakfast is a separate charge on Sundays. Room needed dusting, the bed not that comfortable, drafty windows and the heater/radiator would "bang" whenever it turned off.

Extremely pleased with this hotel. Great value, everything functions well. Pleasant staff, a bit understaffed, though.
Will definitely use this hotel when back I. The area.
