    Consider requesting a cozy log burner in the bar area. it adds a charming touch for relaxing evenings.

    safety feature
    accessibility improvement

    The Southernhay House Hotel boasts exquisite decor with tasteful antique furniture and cozy upholstery. Navigating the hotel was easy for me as a senior, and the staff were exceptionally attentive, ensuring a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere throughout my stay.

    No grab bars in the shower would help seniors.

    delicious breakfast
    garden area
    sun terrace
    firm pillows

    I had a lovely night in a charming room where I enjoyed a delicious breakfast with roasted tomatoes and mushrooms that really hit the spot! It was fantastic to relax in the garden area and unwind on the sun terrace. The only thing was that the pillows were quite firm, so you might want to bring your own if you prefer something softer. 😊

    great breakfast

    Couple getaway done right

    We really enjoyed the friendly service and made us feel like we were at a friend's place, not a hotel. Plus the breakfast was just incredible, they had a lot of options and it was all well-prepared.

    It wasn't the cheapest option but still worth it for the experience.

    delicious breakfast
    charming decor
    comfortable bed
    room warmth
    hard pillows
    parking issues

    I had a lovely time at Southernhay House. The shower was fantastic, very spacious with a nice walk-in feature. The bed felt like a cloud, super comfortable, leading to a great night's sleep. The decor throughout the hotel had a charming blend of modern touches and historical elements that created a cozy vibe. Breakfast was a highlight with a wide selection including delicious fresh kippers. it really set the tone for the day. The staff truly stood out, friendly and welcoming, always making sure I felt taken care of. I found the room a bit warm even with the heating off, and the pillows were quite firm for my liking. Some grab bars in the shower would definitely improve safety for seniors or anyone needing that extra support. The lack of parking on site was inconvenient especially during busy periods, requiring a bit of searching for nearby options. a delightful stay with just a few adjustments needed on comfort and parking.

    spacious room
    delicious breakfast
    unimpressive dining experience
    insufficient meal portions
    lack of flavor

    The room was spacious and offered excellent facilities, ensuring a comfortable night. The location is convenient, with major attractions within walking distance. the dining experience fell short of expectations due to the unimpressive quality and insufficient quantity of the meal served during the private dining. While the breakfast was delicious and personally served, the evening meal lacked flavor and left diners unsatisfied.

    Luxurious stay with a historic touch

    I had an enjoyable one-night stay in a Charming Room, with beautifully decorated interiors that reflected the hotel's historical roots. The breakfast was a highlight, featuring delicious options like sautéed mushrooms and tomatoes on sourdough. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the Cathedral and Exeter's shops. having a bit more variety in the tea and coffee options would have enhanced the room experience.
