Best Western Exeter Lord Haldon Country Hotel

Staff were lovely as always very helpful and friendly. Hook on back of bathroom door needed securing but apart from that it was very good. Breakfast excellent and fresh Dog friendly in many ways - walks included.

Approach roads.

Upon arrival we were asked to pay £20 (£10 per dog) which was to be expected and we didn't mind, however we were told we had to sit on a special table with the dog for dinner/breakfast which again we didn't mind and accepted, unfortunately the table was not available for dinner so we had to go into the bar area which was a little bland in atmosphere. To be honest if it was for the friendliness of the ladies on check-in on arrival and Steven who served us at dinner and breakfast and I might add went out of his way at breakfast our review would be very different. Dinner was ok, but I could cook a better steak! Breakfast was great, but again I think we had Steven to thank for that. BRAVO Steven you made our stay with our dogs fabulous. Great surroundings, although difficult to find with narrow lanes!

Our additional server at breakfast/dinner, he was very unfriendly. Lady on reception said he was the General Manager, I do hope not!! Dinner was expensive and not all that (steak - proper catering steak :-() they do have the market captured up there as your wouldn't want to venture out at night on those tiny lanes to find something else.

Lovely reception staff couldn't be more helpful, beautiful location, quiet.

Waiting & bar staff were a bit unfriendly, tired decor, a lovely house spoilt by lackluster interior.

Breakfast was fabulous - local, quality produce, non-greasy and good continental selection. Lovely setting and building.

Access, its very rural, winding narrow country lanes! Lovely when you get there though, very nice gardens and lovely views.
