Great value comfortable stay

Lovely old pub with an accommodation block at the rear. Further investment would return this place to it's obvious former glory, but for the price we paid we were pleasantly surprised with the quality we received and would absolutely stay again. Interesting plumbing, seemingly hot water from both taps (?!?) only added to the fun. Lovely service, brilliant Indian food, great location. The village is well worth a stroll around. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely dog friendly pub, restaurant & accomodation

We stayed two nights at The Marquess of Exeter on our way home from the west country. The room was lovely, very comfortable and clean. We ate there both evenings and the food was excellent. Lyddington is a very pretty little village, we enjoyed walking with our dog around by the church and in the countryside. We requested a downstairs room which had the advantage of doors into the gardens, this was very helpful to take our dog outside. The gardens do need tidying up but I expect they will do that as the weather gets warmer and customers want to sit outside. Would definitely stay there again.

Average stay. Hoped for better

Definitely not a 4 star as stated. Had to change room as the mattress was terrible. Second room was better but not brilliant. Way too hot so had window open all night. No mirror in bathroom and not many toiletries. Breakfast was just average. No fruit or yoghurts.

7/10 - Ok but room to improve

Overall the stay was ok - positives were size of room, cleanliness and facilities in it. Negatives were condition of rooms, temperature and poor eco awareness. The hotel has apparently changed hands in the last 3-4 months which may have impacted things and hopefully they can sort out. Hotel room carpets were heavily stained in places and generally tired. It was clean, but clearly needs tidying up - especially at £130 a night for the room we had. Bathroom was missing sink plugs in sink and bath, so no way of holding water in. Just meant we wasted water running it down the plug hole instead. The other thing was the hotel block was very warm - too warm. Again wasting energy as we just had to open the windows for the hotel rooms to cool down. Staff were however very polite and pleasant. Breakfast was nice- nothing special but enjoyable enough. We would probably go again, although not sure I’d pay that much for a room again.

Reasonable.

Friendly front of house, but not the friendliest in the restaurant, I guess they were busy that night. Menu is Indian food with a handful of pub grub additions, but nothing particularly healthy. The rooms are nice, with good amenities.

Will never use under this new management

The hotel was closed. We were not informed of the closure. Our clients arrived from Singapore and Australia to find notices on the door that it was closed for the foreseeable future. The hotel has been taken over by new management who clearly thought not contacting customers to provide them with this information was acceptable. Having spoke with the previous management( who were amazing!), They explained that all current booking information was provided at hand over. We will never be using this venue again whilst under this management. Appalling!
