    Very pretty location beside the Exe river, in part of an old mill building. In addition to a lovely room I can recommend their restaurant. Ample on-site parking. It is only a few minutes walk to the centre of Exeter, but the walk is up a steep...

    The location is fantastic - we walked along the paved path by the river to the quay area where there are loads of great bars and restaurants (about a 20 minute walk) in the evening. The building is lovely and characterful. The pub is right there...
