埃克塞特侯爵酒店

The area is beautiful and there is a good parking area. The room was clean but the door and the window needed more maintenance as well as the property. Staff needs to be better trained in both service and language. They were kind but lacking in service skills.

Hotel was clean, but disappointing when we arrived at 9pm to be told we couldn't order a drink, even a bottle of wine to drink outside ? The water in the bathroom sink didnt even run cold, it was warm. The TV in the room was so small, you couldnt sit in bed to watch it . This was our 2nd stay, and we wont stay again .

Sadly the quality was only skin deep. When I walked I thought it would be fine but the bed was uncomfortable, the shower was cold and I can only assume there was a gymnastics competition going on upstairs which was very noisy.

Excellent hotel with fantastic service

Clean with polite staff, only let down on minor points. TV reception very poor. Cold tap in bathroom often ran hot. Could have done with a comfortable chair in the room.

Place was comfortable and quiet. We enjoyed the area very much.

Lovely old pub with an accommodation block at the rear. Further investment would return this place to it's obvious former glory, but for the price we paid we were pleasantly surprised with the quality we received and would absolutely stay again. Interesting plumbing, seemingly hot water from both taps (?!?) only added to the fun. Lovely service, brilliant Indian food, great location. The village is well worth a stroll around. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay.

Room was nice and clean. Quiet too. Bed not overly comfy but fine. No one around to check us in and not equipped for early check out. Restaurant was 5*. Quality and service was fantastic

Clean and comfortable room, friendly , helpful hosts. Breakfast was good

It’s hotel used to be very unfortunately standards and quality seemed to of slipped

Great location, service and room. Food was excellent.

Booked for colleague to pay at hotel however when payment was to be made we were told the money had already been paid. Room was great value in lovely village.

We stayed two nights at The Marquess of Exeter on our way home from the west country. The room was lovely, very comfortable and clean. We ate there both evenings and the food was excellent. Lyddington is a very pretty little village, we enjoyed walking with our dog around by the church and in the countryside. We requested a downstairs room which had the advantage of doors into the gardens, this was very helpful to take our dog outside. The gardens do need tidying up but I expect they will do that as the weather gets warmer and customers want to sit outside. Would definitely stay there again.

Definitely not a 4 star as stated. Had to change room as the mattress was terrible. Second room was better but not brilliant. Way too hot so had window open all night. No mirror in bathroom and not many toiletries. Breakfast was just average. No fruit or yoghurts.

Not bad for the price,

All very good and lovely to have a bath however missing a plug, so unable to use. Also very noisy floor in the sofa area.

Overall the stay was ok - positives were size of room, cleanliness and facilities in it. Negatives were condition of rooms, temperature and poor eco awareness. The hotel has apparently changed hands in the last 3-4 months which may have impacted things and hopefully they can sort out. Hotel room carpets were heavily stained in places and generally tired. It was clean, but clearly needs tidying up - especially at £130 a night for the room we had. Bathroom was missing sink plugs in sink and bath, so no way of holding water in. Just meant we wasted water running it down the plug hole instead. The other thing was the hotel block was very warm - too warm. Again wasting energy as we just had to open the windows for the hotel rooms to cool down. Staff were however very polite and pleasant. Breakfast was nice- nothing special but enjoyable enough. We would probably go again, although not sure I’d pay that much for a room again.

Friendly front of house, but not the friendliest in the restaurant, I guess they were busy that night. Menu is Indian food with a handful of pub grub additions, but nothing particularly healthy. The rooms are nice, with good amenities.

Nice clean and practical place to stay. No frills but good basic room.

The hotel was closed. We were not informed of the closure. Our clients arrived from Singapore and Australia to find notices on the door that it was closed for the foreseeable future. The hotel has been taken over by new management who clearly thought not contacting customers to provide them with this information was acceptable. Having spoke with the previous management( who were amazing!), They explained that all current booking information was provided at hand over. We will never be using this venue again whilst under this management. Appalling!
