Beautiful location on the river. Lots of outdoor seating. Nice bar and restaurant. Room was nice, but air wasn’t working and no one could fix it. It was very warm for a while, but cooled off at night. They brought us a fan. Food was very good. Servers very nice

I had a lovely stay here for a few nights while solo traveling. The room was beautiful, and the property was fantastic. The only small drawback for me was I’m not sure if the AC worked in my room, and as an American, I need that cool air. Fortunately for me, it was cool outside and I was able to open the window enough making my stay comfortable. I had dinner at the pub, and that was lovely as well. I would definitely recommend anyone visiting Exeter stay here. I did walk to the hotel from the train station and it’s not too bad of a walk, and the sidewalk was wide and flat the whole way.

We had a lovely four night stay at the Mill on the Exe while in Exeter to watch rugby. The room was comfortable and clean with a view of the River, and the breakfasts were superb. We also dined at the restaurant on Sunday evening to enjoy their traditional roast dinner & a delectable sticky toffee pudding. Overall, it was a wonderful stay with easy parking, comfortable accommodations, and a standout breakfast menu.
