Peaceful Stay at Holland Hall

I stayed here again after four years—back then we were in Clydesdale Court, and this time we chose the guest rooms in Holland Hall. The campus was beautifully quiet during term break, and the staff were as friendly and helpful as ever. My room was simple yet spotless, with a lovely view. The bathroom was spacious and the shower had excellent water pressure—just be mindful of the wet floor afterward. If you need a hairdryer or other small extras, simply ask at reception. Despite a large academic conference onsite, check‑in, breakfast, and every aspect of my stay ran smoothly. Breakfast was excellent, and the dining hall is spacious with its own pleasant outlook. There’s also a cozy social area beside reception—both indoors and outdoors—which is perfect for relaxing. All in all, a peaceful, nice stay—I’d happily return again.

Remember that it's student accommodation. The rooms are a good size and well finished. There is a gym and a pool on the campus, but it is necessary to drive into town for restaurants. This place is perfect for a quick one-night stay.

The location is beautiful and very handy from Exeter St Davids station. It is a steep uphill walk from there, but I enjoyed it. My room was clean and functional as advertied. The breakfast was excellent with a huge variety if options.

Fantastic option for a reasonably priced couple of nights stay! Basic student accommodation with no frills. Water piping hot and room spotlessly clean. Staff were more than helpful and looked after me very well. The buffet breakfast was great and a good selection. Some gluten free options are available. It’s about a 20 - 30 minute walk (I walk quite fast) from the station and also to town. NB there is a very steep hill to the campus so if you’re pulling a suitcase it could be wise to take a taxi from the station! So if you’re looking for a cheap overnight stay with no frills but safe, clean and comfortable- then this option is ideal! Plenty of tea and coffee is available. Hairdryers are available upon request. Loved it’

Sadly disappointing. We had a small room on the top floor with two small windows - not the full length windows shown in the pictures. So the room felt dark and very basic. Small bar of soap was the only toiletry provided. Tiny kettle- not big enough for 2 cups even though we’d booked it as a double room. Not the fault of the accommodation provider but the noise from the seagulls was so loud throughout the night that we had to close the windows but there was no fan or other means to circulate the air. So the room was hot and stuffy. I’m sure other rooms in the buildings are better but sadly that wasn’t our experience.
