We had a lovely four night stay at the Mill on the Exe while in Exeter to watch rugby. The room was comfortable and clean with a view of the River, and the breakfasts were superb. We also dined at the restaurant on Sunday evening to enjoy their traditional roast dinner & a delectable sticky toffee pudding. Overall, it was a wonderful stay with easy parking, comfortable accommodations, and a standout breakfast menu.

Breakfast menu not very clear or priced showing juice/ tea coffee were extra but food itself was good. Continental breakfast poor if later than 9am.. maybe very hungry clients ate most of it early. Situation on river with gardens excellent. Overall a pleasant place to stay.
