hotel does not serve food after 4pm on a sunday, it had many items missing of the breakfast menu where you had to book a slot, the issue was they didnt start breakfast until 8am and I started work by then.
THey didnt clean the room in between the two days i stayed.
The table for working was very limited and not good enough for a business traveller and if you get a room on the front you have to deal with the noise from the drunken patrons arguing outside whilst smoking

Fairly small, rural old British pub and Inn. It has been an Inn since the 1700s. Perfect if you want a traditional old British Inn experience. We loved it. Family group of five in two rooms.

Charming inn
The room was very comfortable. The staff were so kind and helpful. We had dinner in the restaurant there and it was excellent. The hotel is situated right on the road so there was some traffic noise (we had the windows open) but it was no problem for us. Just a very charming place!

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.

Amazing
We had a difficult journey with major car trouble to get to the Exeter Inn. After feeling stressed, exhausted and completely done in we arrived at the Exeter Inn and was greeted by Johnathan and Pip who couldn’t have made us feel any more welcome if they tried. Wow, wow and wow these guys are amazing, the place was amazing and the breakfast in the morning was stunning. Thank you, thank you, thank you guys and we would definitely go back again!!!

The location of the pub is on a busy roundabout on a main road which is a bit noisy, It's a good base for getting to places around the area but there is not alot to do around the location.
The people are very nice and the service is good.
During my 2 night stay the chef had a problem with the food order so the menu was limited, however the food was good. The pub is a bit tired and in need of some decoration especially in the corridors, the rooms are comfortable however not serviced daily - cleanliness 6/10.

Just a pub stay, rooms were probably really nice when first done but looking a bit tatty now. Food very poor in the pub and drinks quite expensive. Someone also hit our car over night so that didn’t help.

Check in was polite but rushed, shown to room and basically it was this is the room call us if you want anything. Started to unpack and found that the shelves attached to the clothes rail were thick with dust, and I mean thick, as was the rear of the settee which also had dog hairs on it which altogether spoilt the stay as you didn't know what was clean and what might be germy and we had seen no mention of dogs when booking, as we would not have booked there as wife is allergic to dogs. The evening food was OK but expensive for what it was,the breakfast was well cooked, some too well cooked and was to be honest pretty tasteless. We decide to mention it when we booked out, but surprise, there was a note on the bar door telling us to leave and lock the front door and post the keys back through the letterbox. All pretty un professional
