"Safe and secure"

First stay in a hotel since pre-lockdown. Everything was extremely clean and felt totally safe. Clear explanation of measures taken to comply with covid-19 guidelines. Used our own pillows to be on the safe side as not sure if pillows are changed or only cases. Huge gratitude to staff who rang me an hour after we left to tell me my credit card had been found in the car park. Card reclaimed and holiday saved!

"Devon heaven"

We wanted to get away for a few day’s after trying to book near the coast everything was booked up. Thought I would try Premier In and my search came up with Countess Weir. I decided to also book the meal deal for our four nights at the hotel Due to Covid 19 this over came the problem of pre booking a meal elsewhere. Room spotless twin beds one was very well worn so had a sagging mattress. The hotel on the outside is looking rather in need of a paint job. The bar and restaurant staff are wonderful. Very friendly and work as an excellent team. The food was excellent no complaints from my very fussy husband. Would go there again.

"Good night, except for a buzzing"

All covid-19 restrictions were in place. I had a good night's sleep, but my wife is a bit more sensitive to noise and was kept awake by a faint buzzing coming from the ventilation system in the bathroom, despite the bathroom door being shut. We have stayed in many Premier Inns all over the south of England, but this room was the smallest (room 23). It was clean and tidy though

"Family visit"

Whilst on a family visit we could only book this hotel. The hotel is clean and tidy. Staff are welcoming. Rooms very well kept. Quite expensive to be honest, expected more. Busy main road. Food was ok (limited space for social distancing ) so book early/on line. The Hotel Enterance is around the back of the pub and not that well signposted, the carpark is good (although there is a big pothole near the bins) You can’t access the pub via the hotel. You have to go the long way round (bit annoying if it’s raining) The car park entrance/exit is a bit precarious (close to roundabout and queuing traffic opposite, plus a petrol station across the road. Need to take extra care)

"Poor effort"

Good points. Arrived to a warm welcome and a clean room. Ample parking Bad points. Paid for WiFi and it can't be picked up in the room only the car park. No tables for breakfast or dinner despite there not being many people in the hotel. You would think they would reserve a certain number of tables for people staying in the restaurant. Next business trip I'll be leaving here Kong elsewhere.

Hotel description Whether you're in need of a rest before travelling on or have time to stay awhile, you'll find a warm welcome at Premier Inn Hotel Exeter Countess Wear. From here, you're just minutes away from the sights and sounds of Exeter city centre, or from road and rail links to countryside and coast. Climb the winding staircases of the Gothic Cathedral. Treat yourself to some retail therapy in the town centre. Then wine and dine by the river at Exeter's Historic Quayside. After a busy day, put your feet up and relax in our tasty restaurant, spacious rooms and extra-comfy kingsize Hypnos beds.
