"Free parking, onsite gym was good. The staff are friendly, check in was quick. The restaurant next door is brilliant, great food and drink. Overall, highly recommended. "

University of Exeter Holland Hall

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed again at the venue but this time midweek the only small criticism I have is that they chose not to do filter coffee jugs at breakfast which was disappointing as was very welcome at the weekend when clearly more guests were staying. I would however suggest just keeping one jug on the go in mid-week would have been nice"
