Hele Vacations from $2,489

Narrow roads down country lanes so slightly isolated lovely cosy room and breakfast was excellent especially the poached eggs. Stayed there as going to a wedding in the area

We were greeted with a handshake which is always a good start. Our hosts, Neil and Rosemarie were welcoming and eager to make sure our stay was a good one. Our room was spacious as was the bathroom and shower. We were pleased with the coffee machine and the fridge on the landing for the cold milk. The small touches are what makes this hotel a special one. The bar downstairs proved popular to watch the world cup and we appreciated the hospitality during the evening. Breakfast was cooked to order and taken on the deck. The swimming pool was excellent. Car parking is easy and plentiful. One small point is that we would have appreciated a fan in our room which was very hot. Given the extremely high temperatures we are all experiencing it might be something to consider for the future. Otherwise everything was absolutely fine and of a very high standard.

Staff were fine...everything else was just about ok...beautiful old building definitely in need of refurbishment...being advised that the lifts were broken 1 day before travel was poor!..breakfast was disappointing so we cancelled 2 further days breakfast bookings (i asked if it was possible to have poached eggs to be told that the machine was broken to allow for this)?..We enjoyed our stay in Exeter but would not recommend this hotel as it is obviously being run down by the current ownership.

Incredible 18th Manor with vineyard and park. A wonderful surprise
