Lovely place
Lovely friendly staff. Quiet enough despite being above a pub in a Saturday night! Only down side was lots of very steep stairs!

Central right in the middle of everything so perfect for getting everywhere in central Exeter. It is an odd coaching inn so stairs. Room was very well equipped with everything you need. We were in the snug and hey guys what it was snug, me and my hubby who are cuddly foils the need a little small for us. We booked it so just a note not a complaint. The lady who checked us in was amazing.

Hotel in a micro brewery.😀 Had dinner elsewhere, so didnt try the beer, but it smelled good. Comfortable and quirky. Noisy until 11pm, but that was no problem to us. Good situation, but no parking.
Fun place; would certainly stay there again.

Great find in the centre of Exeter. We loved the room and the pub downstairs. The bed was a little on the small side but room was cosy and quiet considering it’s in a pub!

Loved the location, the building is quite old so has some interesting quirks (floors not level), but our room was overall quite comfortable.

We had a great stay at the Turks Head, room was small but well appointed with a good shower room. Location was great as we travelled by train and it is right in the centre of the city, close to all attractions.
