Torquay City Centre

"Arrived at the Mews and had difficulty finding keys as instructions were not very clear. I had paid extra for a parking permit and no permit was provided in the unit, had to pay again to park car on street as we were warned that they monitor these streets day and night. We booked this unit as we needed to do some laundry, it lists a washer and dryer in the amenities to find out we only had a washing machine and no dryer. Tried calling the housekeeping number and did not get an answer till 9am...

Top Exeter Hotel Reviews

Exeter Court Hotel

8/10 Good

"We have had previous good stays at Exeter court in blocks 1 or 2, however this time our block 5 room TV was not working, so after a staff member was unable to fix it we changed rooms. Our second room, the toilet was not flushing efficiently but staff attended to this matter once reported. Exeter Court always offers an excellent breakfast and ample free parking and is easy distance from both Exmouth and Teignmouth."
