Top Exeter Hotel Reviews

Woodbury Park Hotel and Golf Club

Woodbury Park Hotel and Golf Club

8/10 Good
"The room was a good size, with everything you need. It was a bit tired with the carpet threadbare in places and the bathroom needing a deep clean, paint and fresh mastic. The food in the restaurant was reasonable, but the service was slow and it was clear they were understaffed and getting things wrong."

10/10 Excellent
"I was a little concerned looking at other reviews but honestly, this hotel was Lovely, clean and really comfortable. Very central and staff so helpful. Yes, there are some areas that are a little worn but unless you are really picky, I’m not sure they are enough to cause any concern. Priority for me is cleanliness, which it was, nice team members, which they were and comfortable room for great night sleep. Shower was brilliant and have no complaints at all. Keep on doing all you are doing. Thank you for a lovely stay. We will be back."
