Situated just 23 km from Newton Abbot Racecourse, River Retreat Apartment Exeter - River Views & Parking offers accommodation in Exeter with access to a garden, a tennis court, as well as luggage storage space. Both free WiFi and parking on-site are accessible at the apartment free of charge. The property is non-smoking and is set 3.4 km from Sandy Park Rugby Stadium.

The apartment was spacious, clean and well appointed. A welcome packet of biscuits as well as tea, coffee and milk were waiting for us. The bed was very comfortable, as was the sofa in the lounge. The towels were nice and large. We were met by the host and given a quick tour but, had she not been available, the keys were in a lock box and there was a list of need to know information in the lounge waiting for us. The river view was great and it was relaxing to watch the swans and ducks on the river. If I need to return to the area, this will be my go to place to stay as it really was lovely.

    The hotel was so clean and the staff were so friendly. The interconnecting rooms were great for us as a family of two kids. Breakfast was super yummy and a great variety. A great stop over for the night on our way to Cornwall.

    My family loved the house, very neat and cosy. Jo was very helpful in assisting with anything you may need. Very welcoming host. The little lake is beautiful and there is plenty of green space for the kids to run and play. Very peaceful and relaxing house and location.The renting price is also affordable. Welcoming neighbours too. Amenities aren't far, it took us an average of 20 minutes drive to move around and get what we needed. This is a great house and location to spend fantastic quality family time.

    The set up of the room was prefect our family. The gentlemen on the midnight reception was so friendly. However our room was had sick in the sink which we notified reception and sorted it. The member of staff although friendly didn’t knock on the door whilst sorting this out. Parking is limited but city centre location. Noise outside hotel issue. The major bug bear was our location of room we had two small children and we weren’t near the lift and had to walk through a long corridor, fire doors to access our room.

    Amazing location to sightsee. Family friendly. Love the interlocking rooms which is extremely helpful when you're a family of 5. Kids love it. Feels very luxurious. Breakfast is amazing and the kids were overjoyed at the addition of the waffle maker. This is our 3rd time staying and won't be our last 😊

    The self contained flat exceed expectations and it great for a family visiting crealy theme park. The flat has two bedrooms and a pull out sofa bed. Lots of clean fluffy towels and bed was very comfortable. Looks to have been recently renovated to a high standard but kept the character of the building. Just be aware that the stairs aren't suitable for little legs (small children) however this wasn't a problem for us. The owners were very welcoming.

    We stayed for breakfast and dinner as a family of 4 as a stopover into Cornwall. Our Kids are 3 and 6 and we found the hotel very clean, very well kept and the staff welcoming. The dinner was great, as was breakfast. The desserts were amazing, homemade and the bread and butter pudding was the best ever. For a stopover, access to A38 was easy and we also easily travelled to the coast with a short drive for a day of fun. Thanks for a great start to the holiday.

    We really enjoyed our stay. My husband who has bad allergies which often get triggered when on holiday was perfectly fine staying at the Raffles, so I’d say it was very clean and the hypoallergenic claim is true. It is very child friendly, our kids loved the fish pond and the moment our little boy asked for croissants for breakfast, we got them every morning :) Great place!
