Family meet up
Have stayed before while meeting up with family. Quirky rooms (nothing level) - to be expected in a property of this age - but very comfortable. Extremely hospitable and accommodating host - breakfasts - some of the best we've had. Parking fine if you're fit and well - might be more difficult if mobility impaired - also steep stairs to bedrooms. Would definitely stay again.

The property is very old and picturesque so you have to accept the steep stairs and creaky floors. Having said that it was clean and well presented and the staff were most hospitable. Lack of parking didn't cause us too much of a problem as there is a public car park nearby and free parking opposite between 6pm and 9am.

Brilliant landlady
The Exeter inn is a lovely old pub. Stayed for 2 nights for a wedding nearby. Nightmare to get a taxi anywhere but the brilliant landlady Nicky stepped in to save the day and volunteered to give us a lift back late at night and again in the morning to pick our car up! Above and beyond! Room comfy and breakfast lovely. Had a few drinks and evening meal and very satisfied, can definitely recommend , mainly due to the landlady and the service and help offered!

Quirky old inn
Stayed at this lovely quirky old inn on our way to ferry port. The room was spotlessly clean and the beds very comfy. We ate evening meal in the pub downstairs service was friendly and food delicious. All in all a lovely place to stay .

Overnight stay
Very 'atmospheric' as you would expect from a traditional pub in a building that has to be 200+ years old. Very pleasant staff and service. No car parking so you have to use the public long stay 200 yds away - fortunately a nice morning when leaving! No early breakfast but milk, juice, bread, etc made available for self service which was very much appreciated.

Exeter Inn
Lovely old building, very friendly and helpful staff, everywhere clean and tidy, very nice breakfasts. The twin beds and matrices in our room need replacing urgently and the door to the bathroom needs fixing as it it cannot be shut. In general the place looks a bit tired and could do with some internal decoration/painting etc.

History and character with a warm welcome.
We stayed here for a week and really couldn't have chosen a better place to stay. An historical inn in a village full of history and a warm friendly atmosphere. There are only 4 letting rooms and the inn is the owners home. This is reflected in the feeling of home from home and the warmth of the welcome. All the furnishings and ornamentation are in keeping with the age and nature of the building. The inn itself is dog friendly and serves lovely pub food. The breakfasts are excellent. Vegetarians and vegans are catered for. If you are looking for pristine decor and formal service such as you get in a large impersonal hotel, then this may not be for you, but for a truly relaxing break in a setting full of character that represents very good value in the South Hams, then The Exeter Inn would be very hard to beat

This is a 14th century inn, what they didn't say was that was the last time it was decorated. The bed was just one turn from collapsing. The cereal (in boxes) out of date and tasted fusty and were soggy. The full English breakfast was the only good thing that I can say about it.....Sorry to say I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone. It is the first time I have ever given such a negative report
