Mercure Exeter Southgate Hotel, hotel in Exeter

Mercure Exeter Southgate Hotel is located in central Exeter, with views over the historic old cathedral. It offers a health and fitness centre with an indoor swimming pool and a gym.

Complimentary bottle of prosecco in the room, not sure why but think the staff worked out I was part of the wedding going on downstairs. Lovely gesture. Great wedding venue too, we had a fantastic day. Many thanks to all the team for contributing to an amazing experience.

The Globe, hotel in Exeter

Located in the centre of Topsham, just 4 miles from Exeter, The Globe is a beautifully renovated 16th-century coaching inn.

What a lovely find. The Globe was both picturesque and welcoming. Discovered this gem while looking for a pit-stop on our travels. We were initially drawn to the traditional pub style of the restaurant, but wow! You couldn't ask for a friendlier team. Fantastic food, excellent service and selection of drinks at the bar. Beautifully quaint building a short walk from the harbour. Our room on the balcony was clean and incredibly comfortable - even equipped with a nespresso machine of our own! Facilities are kept well. We both had dinner and breakfast with The Globe, very satisfactory and excellent choices for a range of dietary requirements. Alcohol free options available, and a dog-friendly environment to boot. Great value for a much recommended visit. Will absolutely be keeping this name in mind for future trips.

Southernhay House Hotel, hotel in Exeter

This intimate hotel is set in a Grade II listed Georgian gentleman's residence in central Exeter.

It was close to the Cathedral which is why I booked it. I loved the history of the house and grand but homely feel of the place. The breakfast was delicious and I would recommend it especially with the added mushrooms. I had tofu, roast tomatoes, spinach and large field mushrooms on sourdough. You don't have to be a vegetarian to like this!!

FAQs about hotels in Exeter









A Host of History

Set around the Exe River, affluent Exeter has played a part in English history from the Roman era to William the Conqueror to the Spanish Armada. Its most impressive structure is the cathedral, begun in the 11th century and boasting the longest stone roof in England.

The surrounding green is a popular picnic spot, and the half-timbered buildings and red-brick façades of the neighbouring High Street house a host of shops. Even more are in the Princesshay and Guildhall shopping centres.

The Guildhall itself is considered England’s oldest municipal building still in use, while nearby Parliament Street is one of the world’s narrowest streets. The remains of 11th-century St Nicholas Priory are now a museum, and there are more red-stone ruins at hilltop Exeter Castle (or Rougemont Castle), built into the Roman walls.

Exeter Central Station is behind the castle, while St Davids Station is nearer the university. The large student population means that the city has good nightlife, and some bars are located by the Quayside, site of Custom House. The river flows past Topsham and Powderham Castle to enter the sea at Exmouth.

To the east are Exeter Airport and the Westpoint Arena exhibition centre, both easily reached from Booking.com’s hotels with spas, cheap apartments and guest houses with parking.

    First time visiting Exeter. A lovely city.

    First time visiting Exeter. A lovely city. Lots of interesting places, especially round the Quay area, and many classy shops and cafes. Its also within easy reach of Topsham, which is very quaint, and had lovely cafes and bars. The Firehouse is an excellent trendy eating place there. We just walked into Exeter, but it has plenty of parking places. We also visited Dawlish, another quaint town, with a great pie shop. Exmouth and Budleigh Salterton are also interesting. Our grandchildren loved the picturesque golf course at Exminster, and nearby Turf pub, which you can drive or cycle to, which is open only during the day, as parking is difficult, but its friendly, and serves good food. The Mill on the Exe is next to the property, and serves good food and has comfortable seating, and friendly staff. Also The Prospect Inn on the Quay has great food, and a buzz about it. There are several real ale places on the Quay in Exeter, and pizza vans nearby.

    Exeter is a medieval city with Roman remains, and although bombed during WWII it retains many unusual features. Like all uk provincial cities the economic climate has hit hard, however there is still lots to enjoy. Foodies will love STAGE a new restaurant in Magdalen Rd which is exceptional and I predict it will be incredibly successful. Exeter cathedral is wonderful.There’s also the beautiful river Exe that opens out to the Estuary town of Topsham, well worth a visit, the quay area in Exeter is interesting with many historical features. Exploring the area on foot and enjoying foodie venues off the beaten track is the secret to a fun visit.

    Went to visit a relative never been to Exeter before and only there for one day, much bigger than I thought it would be with lots of tourist and places to see. Will definitely go for longer next time. The high street had no closed shops and stores open that have been closed in other cities and a lovely John Lewis, lovely place to eat. Buses frequently and Taxis easy to locate if needed. Are at the Brew Dog . Nice burgers own brewed lagers for nice. The Quayside has lots of independent craft shops and places to eat and grab a coffee, would think a lovely place to visit in the summer. Will return

    Only stayed for one night but had a lovely evening in the town, visiting the Ivy for dinner and the Christmas markets. Plenty of shops if we'd had time to explore more and would love to go back to visit the cathedral. Managed to walk around very easily and there's a good atmosphere in the centre.

    The hotel was small and cozy, the room was clean and had everything that was promised. The owner was super lovely and very helpful with all the questions and requests we had. The location of Oakcliffe Hotel is perfect for anyone arriving to or leaving from Exeter St David's station, and just 15mins on foot from the city centre. Definitely good value for the price offered, and a nice place to stay in Exeter!

    My stay at the Depot was marvelous. Once I arrived, I was provided with shampoo and body gel bottles. Internet access was easily provided. What I would like to highlight is the excellent guest service provided by Mrs. Michael whose communication skills were exceptional and prompt. I highly recommend the depot for future visitors. The location is within the high street and city centre. I enjoyed my stay.
