Ideal hotel for a stay near Exeter Airport. It's just a 5 min drive away. Great check in, clean room with everything we needed and free breakfast. As it happens we left at 5.30 am, full breakfast begins at 6.30 am but we were still well catered for with cereals, toast, croissants and hot drinks. The member of staff on duty at that time was most attentive. Car parking is £6 when getting a code from reception, however the room rate is very reasonable.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
A very pleasant welcome became even better when we found we had been upgraded to a larger room and were given a free drink token. Room was large with a very large bed but there was a marked lack of plug sockets & USB ports. We borrowed an extension lead with several sockets from friends. Breakfast, included in cost, was mediocre at best. Parking in the hotel car park was an extortionate added extra despite a 50% reduction for guests. This was especially extortionate when we returned to the hotel on our first night to find the car park full. They made space for us in the staff car park.
