I had not realised that hotels like Gipsy Hill still existed. I thought the "Hotel Inspector" had sorted them all out. Yes, a trip back in time. However, improvements have been made. The bathroom had been refitted and retiled (the loo paper, top of the range!), the shower head unfortunately did point anywhere other than down the plug hole. The... More

We stayed here for one night at the beginning of March. I used to live in Exeter and knew the hotel well in the early 1980s. Stepping through the front door it seemed as though nothing had changed since then. The décor and furnishings are very dated and in some parts tacky. However the warmth of the welcome from the...

The room was great; warm, very homely with a comfy sofa, nice TV and the bathroom looked new. Everything worked, nice shower gel and shampoo was provided and - I... More

We first visited the Gipsy Hill Hotel in December1971 for our wedding reception. We revisited 15 years ago for our Silver Wedding and this time for our 40th Anniversary. Three of our guests stayed in the hotel and were very satisfied with the standard of accommodation and the service they received. We hosted a Sunday lunch for 30 people, the... More

We drove to Exeter from Heathrow after an overnight flight arriving in time for a midafternoon nap. Our room was clean and comfortable, the large hotel gardens overlook the Motorway but that wasnt a problem as we couldnt hear it when we were inside. The food was good and the staff were helpful and friendly, only glitch was the wifi,... More
