I have now stayed here with my wife on four occasions. The hotel is wonderful for its old world…read morecharm yet modern conveniences. The larger king size rooms are fantastic. The midsized rooms nice but a bit tight for space, and the rooms smaller than 226 square feet are really a no-go for couples. There is parking in the forecourt, subject to availability, and a great breakfast for only £10. However, what this hotel really has going for it is location. Right across from Exeter Central and close to the shopping district.

My last trip to The Rougemont had its ups and downs, but what sticks in the mind is how lovely the…read morestaff were. Yes, the room was a little warm and some of the other guests were a little loud (I think there was a school party in!) but what the hotel could control was really good. I agree that the hotel feels a little dated, but the duty manager showed us around the impressively refurbished (but at the time unopened) restaurant and informed us that the third floor was also being done up. The breakfast spread is pretty impressive and I found every member of the team professional, knowledgeable and friendly.

Lovely hotel. Close to the town centre. Parking permits available and on street parking…read more Lovely period building. Rooms are clean and well equipped. Staff are friendly and great breakfast included, always well cooked, a good range. One of the nicest b&b's in Exeter. Nice decor in the rooms, modern.

This is a very nice hotel, with each of the rooms themed to a character from a famous book. Sods…read morelaw that I would get an upgrade after choosing the Arthur Dent room! Ended up inside Flora Poste. Not sure what she is but the quotes and pictures suggested that you might find her in an unbearably tedious period drama (is there any other kind?). I suppose it was intended to be an upgrade! And the room was very very nice.I should say! The location is a good one, between the main station and the centre of town. The hotel is in a lovely old building too! The price is very good value. I guess the breakfast was a bit limited but that is generally not my priority.

This pub on two sides of the alley looks amazing, with its dimly lit wooden interior and 'elaborate…read moredecoration'?. I came when the pub was not so busy so one side was mostly locked up. I guess they probably open it all up at busy times. There were only two ales on when I visited, but one of them was a really good stout from Wychwood, that I had never encountered before. The food menu looked good so I decided to give it a try and had a delicious mild beef curry. The pub/hotel has been around for centuries!

We enjoyed the modern interior and competent kitchen, especially as MC offers great value 2- or 3-course menus. There were five of us and we mixed a number of courses so we shared desserts with no issues. The kitchen was a little slow but we were hair with the quality of the food. Parking could be difficult in the front of the hotel but I found a car lot around the corner with pay and display.
