Best Hotels in Exeter
Exeter is small, historic and easy to walk, with a few areas that suit very different evenings. Here is how to choose.
Southernhay for a polished first meeting
Southernhay's Georgian terraces hold some of the city's most composed hotels and bars, quiet in the early evening and a short walk from the cathedral.

The Quayside for a relaxed evening

Cathedral Green for a sense of occasion
Around the Cathedral Green the hotels look onto the cathedral, which makes an ordinary evening feel like something more.

What actually matters when choosing
Exeter has two main stations, St Davids and Central, and the city centre is compact, so a hotel in the Southernhay or cathedral area is walkable from either. The hill up from St Davids is steeper than it looks, so a taxi with luggage is kinder than a walk.
