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.

I went to college in Exeter 60 years ago because, at that time, I lived in Devon. So much has changed but I still liked it and we found everything we wanted. We have found that the further away from London the nicer the people, ie the West country and the north of England.

The Cathedral is worth a visit, and the tour guide gave us a lot of information. On Sunday, the visit is by donation, and comes with a guided tour as well. On any other day, I would happily have paid more for both. The Exeter Underground Passages tour is also worth a look. Everyone has to duck, though. Traffic was slow and difficult downtown, we were glad we walked there when we could

Easy to see Exeter on foot from our hotel as a flat 10 minutes walk into the centre. Leaflets available from the nearby museum for historic walks round the town. Cathedral a must see. Lots of excellent shops and restaurants. We used Apple taxis to get up to see family in the university. They were very quick and cheap. Do look out for the hills around the edge of Exeter, quite steep gradients in places. Try eating at On the Green overlooking the cathedral for lunch and Bella Italia for dinner.

I think we saw the important sights in Exeter during our one night stay. You could stay longer and venture more and further away given parking permits in and out travel, yet for us the closeness to center city and major sights was enough. Highly recommend hotel.

Exeter Cathedral tours and concert at night; Knightshayes Court, A la Ronde, the Museum of Dartmoor Life at Okehampton where Swift Taxis provided tour of five villages on edge of Dartmoor National Park where my ancestors lived and the younger generation emigrated to Australia. Disappointed that church at Ottery St Mary was closed. And would have liked cruise but some cease on 31 August.

We did not spend much time in Exeter but used it as a base to explore Devon. One day, we went north to Exmoor National Park, Ilfracombe and Westward Ho. The next day, we went south to Exmouth, Blackpool Sands and Torquay.

The location is close to both of the Exeter train stations although there is quite a steep hill from the St Davidd's station - we are in our seventies but managed to walk it ok. The hotel is also very convenient for the city centre where there numerous shops and restaurants. The room and en-suite were very good and the breakfast choice was excellent

There's much to like about St. Andrews Hotel starting with the FREE parking and the proximity to Exeter City Centre with it only taking just over 15 minutes to walk in. The hotel itself is very untypical of an independent city hotel in that it is clearly well maintained and in no way looks tired as many do nowadays.
