8.0 out of 10, Very good, (10 reviews)
"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...

Exeter Rougemont hotel by Sunday

Exeter Rougemont hotel by Sunday

8/10 Good
"We travelled down the last week in June, a treat from our parents. Lovely hotel . Only fault I found was they did not have many choices, if any for people with food intolerance so we ate our breakfast elsewhere. Other than that was a great base, right in the centre of town 👍"
