I read some mixed reviews on Tripadvisor and decided to go ahead and book this for a romantic one night stay with my boyfriend. I had upgraded to the Desirable room hoping it would be a bit larger.

This is a restored hotel set right opposite Exeter Cathedral. It's central position is perfect for the local city centre but, being in the Cathedral Square, it's also very quiet.
