Courtyard by Marriott Exeter Sandy Park

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional breakfast buffet, with all the true to form expected delicacies. Staff was professional and ever so polite. Dinner at the bar ran a little expensive. That’s my only mild to complaint. Walking distance from a pro rugby pitch if that’s of interest."

Southernhay House Hotel

8/10 Good

"We got the largest room they had. It was literally an apartment across the street on the basement level. Right outside the bedroom was a walkway/pedestrian route and people walked by all day and all night. Definitely wouldn't recommend that room even though it was extremely spacious. The people working the hotel were friendly."
