A hotel near the city center of Exeter, very classic but elegant, the keys are all physical, the breakfast is also great, the environment in the room is also very comfortable, I will come again if I have the chance

My brother-in-law had his wedding reception here, and the whole wedding party stayed. It was amazing!!! We were able to drop our stuff off before check-in. By the time we returned from the wedding ceremony, the lovely staff had kindly taken our bags to our room - a blessing as I've got dodgy knees, my husband has breathing problems, and there's no lift We were in Silk. It was beautiful. The bed was so comfortable. The bathroom was spotless with a fabulous shower. The whole experience was incredible. Cocktails before dinner (I recommend the spicy marg) We had a private dining room, which was perfect for our small group - 8, including the grooms. The food was incredible and enhanced by perfect service. The following morning, breakfast was great. Loved the presentation of the yogurt, fruit compote etc. The pancakes, swimming in a lake of hot maple syrup, with bacon, just awesome. If, like me, you are a bit of a history nerd, you'll find the background to the house interesting.

OMG, AMAZING! I really love the decor of this place. For starters, the food was just delish, and my partner and I had the best night's sleep ever! We stayed in a room called Cotton, and the bed was so comfy. We took full advantage of the bath in there, too. The staff were lovely and couldn't do enough to help us; I'm currently looking at booking again for Valentine's Day!

We have stayed in this amazing Hotel before. We travel a lot. This is honestly one of the best nights sleep ever. The decor is lovely, staff are attentive, great location for Exeter. Breakfast was great. But this was the most comfortable restful sleep ever. Great bedding. You might hear the sound of the cathedral bells in the morning but is that not the nicest alarm clock ever? We do spend a lot of time in Exeter so even when we are not staying at the Southern Hay we always pop in for a drink in the great conservatory. The conservatory always reminds me of a restaurant in Berkeley Square in NYC. I cannot find a fault. In fact We are making sure we are going back in February.

We spent a very relaxing w/e at Southernhay House. The rooms are luxurious, spacious, clean and very comfortable. The staff are welcoming, friendly and accommodating.
Bar and restaurant are both beautifully designed with many references to the building's historic past. The food was excellent also.

I went in for drinks, horrible service, the waitresses and bar staff were run off their feet, as a result of bad management, which when working in hospitality I HATE. Other people I was meeting got turned away, for no valid reason. I am not blaming the waitresses or bar staff but purely the management. A very poorly run establishment.
