“This independent hotel, though perhaps showing some wear, holds potential with its spacious grounds and uniquely decorated rooms, a theme enhanced by monthly jazz club events; its location near Exeter's attractions is practical. While some aspects require attention, the hotel's dedicated conference facilities and pet-friendly policies stand out. Overall, a property with character, poised for revitalization.”
