Yarcombe Holidays from £499

Overall our stay was OK - what wasn't great was when we arrived the lift was still out of service and we were on the third floor, with heavy bags and someone with asthma. The room was, again, OK - hadn't been cleaned properly though with dust along the bar behind the bed and a big brown stain on the floor to the right. We also only had one towel for the bathroom/shower so had to share that in the morning. It was great for being central in Exeter and handy to park in the front, but I probably wouldn't stay here again.

The staff at this hotel were so friendly and welcoming, and the hotel is in a fantastic location - just minutes from the beach and short walk to the town centre. The bus route allowed us to get to all attractions easily, and the hotel has a lovely park with mini golf next door. The pool is tad small at probably about 10-12 metres, and the Sian and steam room not that hot but still good to have the facilities. Also worth noting that many older generation (retired) people use this hotel, so not many guests under 50.

Our three nights at the Dower house were a lovely break. The bed was most comfortable and the room spacious with plenty of seating. The breakfast was generous with good choices and prompt service. The gardens are a delight. This is a great place to stay,

The hotel was spotless food was great and Daniel and Andy were very helpful
