I LOVE this pub/hotel. I have to travel to various cities for work and I am so glad I found this spot! Very safe and welcoming and the beds are SPOTLESS! I’ve travelled to Exeter twice for work and stayed here both times. Slightly outside the centre about 10 mins by car but worth it. Amazing priced rooms, so clean , spotless bed sheets. They provide water bottles, coffee, tea and hot chocolate in the rooms which all have beautiful decor bits such as homely mugs and pillows. 100% would come back again and again!! There’s a guy local in the village that only charges £10 to take you in and out of the centre too. Lovely chap !

    We had a 3 fantastic nights at Brook Farmhouse. It is a charming cottage. The king room was huge. Very quiet location. We enjoyed spending evenings in the living room by the fire place. Penny and Paul were great hosts and managed all our queries with smile. The breakfast was great specially the apple juice!

    Friendly staff. It was surprisingly quiet, given it's a city centre pub as well, and we were there at the weekend. Breakfast was great. Car park across the road was virtually empty when I parked - couldn't be more convenient. All good. We will definitely stay again.

    The Host was friendly and welcoming, my room was well equipped and comfortable, free wifi, good continental breakfast selection, and a great location. The Guest house is only 10 minutes walk from the centre of Exeter, if you don't fancy the walk, there are frequent buses. A convenience store only 2 minutes away. My Single Room had everything I needed - nice clean en-suite shower room, Tea & Coffee making, wall mounted flat screen tv, and most important, a really comfortable bed! I will always stay there again when I visit Exeter.
