Our vacation is off to a wonderful start

Very lovely stay in Exeter for 2 nights at the start of our Devon/Cornwall trip. Friendly staff! Great spa with a deal for hotel guests. The breakfast was wonderful, too. Right in the middle of everything. We will stay here again without even looking elsewhere if we come back this way. We loved Exeter!

Nicely refurbished hotel, friendly staff. Colsons bar wasn't stocked very well and the bar staff didn't know how to make cocktails. £30 for a dog to stay for 1 night is so expensive. For that price I was expecting some treats in the room, dog bowl etc like in other hotels, but nothing.

The hotel is beautiful. We couldn’t fault the room. The lobby is also lovely. The only issue we had was the spa. We found it quite unclean and the hot tubs quite grimy. We mentioned to staff who were lovely but the condition was the same the next day. The hot tubs were also starting to get in poor condition.

The overall services (restaurant, breakfast) were disappointing in comparison to the last time we stayed. “Sorry, it’s grad week” was the refrain, but why not staff up in anticipation? Our room should have had twin beds, which it didn’t. Then there was little effort to help separate the mattresses, and while everyone was polite, the services were inconsistent and the food sub par for both directions one and breakfast.
