“This riverside hotel occupies a historic mill house, offering a unique perspective for visitors to Exeter. I noted the blend of its paper-making heritage with modern accommodations, including air-conditioned rooms featuring Nespresso machines, which I imagine creates a pleasant experience. While some rooms may overlook the car park, the property stands out for its riverside garden and proximity to Exeter Cathedral.”
