Our room was spotless and very comfortable and all the staff very friendly and helpful. The bar area was welcoming and warm on a cold January evening and the beer well kept. The menu was limited and plain but again this was the low season with little trade

I had a lovely stay at the Exeter Inn! Michelle and Martin gave me the warmest welcome, and the whole place felt instantly inviting. I met up with friends from Bampton for dinner, and the Festive Christmas menu was excellent — beautifully cooked and full of flavour. I stayed in the Brook bedroom, which was immaculate and thoughtfully supplied with plenty of toiletries. A genuinely delightful visit and I’d happily return. Thank you !

Under new management with a lot to get around. Staff and manager very pleasant and welcoming to a very old, rather tired coaching inn. Good breakfast and evening meal.

Lovely stay

I had a lovely stay here and cannot fault a thing about it. I stayed on a Tuesday night which is their supper club evening, the restaurant was fully booked but they managed to squeeze me in. The food was lovely and really good value at £19 for 2 courses. The breakfast was also delicious! The bed was incredibly comfy with a good selection of pillows. The toiletries in the bathroom were locally sourced and really good quality. I would 100% recommend and hope to return myself soon.

Check in was advertised at 3.00pm, arrived at 4.50pm but room was not available & hadn't been cleaned as the cleaner didn't turn up? Menu was reduced as the chef didn't turn up either and no toilet rolls in the bathroom. I gave my breakfast order the night before but it was not passed onto the cover chef in the morning, so in all not a great experience but...would I stay there again...definitely yes. Michelle and her team were amazing, they did everything possible to make my stay enjoyable and it was. The room was clean & spacious. The hotel is full of character & is attracting locals & passers by. Michelle and her partner had just recently taken over and need time to settle in and put their stamp on the business. I will certainly return and stay longer next time. Thank you Michelle and all

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We were asked to book a breakfast time slot on arrival, so we selected 8:30–9:00. However, when we went down that morning, all the doors were locked and there was no staff present. We tried every contact number provided, including the delivery and service numbers advertised, but received no answer or callback. This was extremely disappointing, particularly as we needed to leave promptly. In the end, we had no choice but to leave at 9:30 without breakfast and return the keys through the letterbox. We were also concerned to see ducks being kept in what appeared to be a pop-up laundry basket in the car park. It was overcrowded, and the animals could barely move. This raised serious welfare concerns. In addition, the upstairs corridors had a very unpleasant smell, and our room (Brook) felt run down. The bathroom floor and shower area were covered in small beard trimmings, which suggests it had not been cleaned properly. Although the staff we briefly encountered at check-in were pleasant, the overall experience was poor. I also attempted to make contact later regarding the breakfast issue and checkout, but again received no response. Based on this experience, I would not recommend staying here.
