This was a great spot to stay on our first night in Exeter! It's right in the center of town so you're really close to everything. There's also a pub downstairs/next door which was convenient. We had a minor plumbing issue the first night, but the hotel was able to take care of it. I would stay here again!

Exeter's high street offers just about everything that mortal man could conceivably desire: pubs, cafes, outdoor clothing shops, shoe shops, a cathedral, banks, bookshops, homeless people, record shops, Turkish barbers. The staff of the Turk's Head were consummate professionals: the one who showed me up to my room offered to carry my suitcase, gave me a tour of the premises, and recommended their favourite ice cream shop.

A quirky find in Exeter

What a fabulous, quirky venue. We’ve booked and going back in October. Staff absolutely lovely, especially Anna. My tip is don’t book room 2 if you like to sleep with the window open, but otherwise all just lovely and near the train station too

Bucket list item complete

Bucket list stay above an old pub. The room had lots of personality complete with crooked floors and funky tiling in the bathroom. Required a good hike up steep and narrow stairs, but staff willingly carted my luggage up and down for me. Attentive crew and flexible with storing my luggage after check out. Not for someone looking for ultra modern - this is a very old building, which is part of the appeal. Beside a popular part of town, expect noise. The pub itself was great, excellent service, pints and food.

The Turks Head is a lovely place to stay - it's very clean and comfortable and the staff really friendly, welcoming and polite. However, there is noise from from the pub and this could be unsettling for some guests.
