The best location for your Exeter hotel is in the City Centre, which is compact and provides the easiest walking access to the main historical sites, shopping, and dining.

Accommodation near the Exeter Cathedral and the High Street is the most convenient choice. Staying here puts you steps away from the RAMM, the Underground Passages, and the main retail area around Princesshay Mall. This central location is ideal for first-time visitors who want to be close to all the major cultural and historical sites.

For visitors prioritising water activities and a historic atmosphere, look for hotels near the Exeter Quayside. This vibrant district offers riverside dining, cycle hire, and boat trips, while still being only a short, pleasant walk from the cathedral. The nearby Northernhay Gardens offer a peaceful green space in the centre of town.

Exeter is served by two main railway stations, Exeter St Davids (the main line hub) and Exeter Central. Central is closer to the High Street. The city is highly accessible via the M5 motorway. Local buses and the nearby rail line make it simple to access coastal towns and the wider Devon countryside.

Hotel prices in Exeter are highest during the peak summer months, from June to August, due to the pleasant weather and the influx of visitors exploring Devon and the coast. Prices also surge during the start and end of university terms.

The best value is found during the quiet winter months, from January to March. The shoulder seasons of April/May and September/October offer a balance of moderate weather and better rates. A unique tip for Exeter is that prices often spike on weekends, so a mid-week stay provides better value. Furthermore, searching for hotels in the area closer to the Exeter Quayside rather than the absolute core of the High Street can sometimes secure better deals.
