Exeter Rougemont hotel by Sunday

8/10 Good
"We travelled down the last week in June, a treat from our parents. Lovely hotel . Only fault I found was they did not have many choices, if any for people with food intolerance so we ate our breakfast elsewhere. Other than that was a great base, right in the centre of town 👍"
