Very tired rooms. It looks as though they have not been updated for years. No mirror in the bathroom, paint peeling off toilet seat - etc. The hotel is not worth staying in. The ‘gardens’ also looked neglected. The food was good but expensive.

We were visiting for a friends event, so this was the best option in the area. The hotel is OK, it's in need to some TLC and the pictures must have been taken a while ago. The corridors and rooms have scruffs, holes and bits of maintenance that just make it appear a bit shabby. Same can be said of outside which just looks unloved. The room was basic, but had what is needed for a night's sleep. Bathroom wasn't great and everywhere was incredibly hot! Even the water - it didn't run cold. Breakfast was as basic as it gets: weak coffee, lukewarm water, cereal boxes, cheap juice. No fruit, no pastries. Cooked was tasty if you're a meat eater, but otherwise it was eggs, toast etc. A veggie sausage should be a standard offer these days. Staff were friendly though. So, basically, we'd only stay again if we had to.

Booked a room on their website, back in April, for my best friends wedding, only to find out on the day that they hadn't reserved our room, despite having a confirmation email, leaving us in a complete mess. No sympathy or understanding from the man on the phone whatsoever. Absolutely disgusted!!

Wonderful service, felt welcoming and friendly. Beautiful village and the ambience of the hotel suited the village well. Comfortable room with all you needed and a wonderfully hearty breakfast. We would come back here again without a doubt.

21 of us for dinner for a reunion. 10 rooms booked. The whole stay & dinner was excellent throughout. Comfortable clean rooms. Food was very good indeed. Staff couldn’t be more helpful. Every one of us thoroughly enjoyed our evening & stay. Highly recommended.

Upon arrival they moved us to a dog friendly room. However the room hadn’t been prepared for us and wasn’t cleaned properly. Fruit had been left in a drawer which I gave them during our evening meal , they didn’t apologise and shrugged it off and it made me feel uncomfortable. We also didn’t get any house keeping during our stay and when I raised this at breakfast again no apology and towels just put on bed . The room was sub standard with a shower that didn’t get hot , plastic plug to use between bath and sink as both fixed plugs where missing , dirty and paintwork disgusting , lacked ventilation, only one window in the bathroom. Noisy from upstairs occupants ( could even hear them using the loo !). Garden area was a disgrace Tiniest TV I could go on !

I booked a Groupon deal to stay in the Maquess of Exeter with wine and breakfast as a treat fir my husband for our wedding anniversary . We arrived around 17.00 and after a bit of a problem with our booking which was sorted after a while we were shown to our room which was nicely decorated with a view of the garden uts just a shame that the garden is a bit overgrown ... After we were rested we got changed and went across to the restaurant for our evening meal We decided on the Indian menu as I read great reviews on it and we wernt disappointed .. I had the butter chicken and my husband had a lamb curry with a pastry top both of our meals were absolutely gorgeous well done chef ! The next morning we had the full English breakfast with coffee , juice and plenty of toast all good. So I like to thank the owners and staff for a enjoyable night stay in the Marquess of Exeter.

We usually stay at The Old White Hart in the village but were unable to as they don’t take dogs, which the Marquess does. We arrived to a less than enthused welcome and it almost seemed that it was a chore for the manager to book us in. The rooms were ok but no plug for the sink and a weird plastic suction plug for the bath. The mattress on one bed was like sleeping on bricks, on the other it had collapsed. The lady running the bar and young waitress who served us were great and really pleasant. The Indian food is good, the English food not so much. Not sure how you can get scampi wrong but the kitchen succeeded. The breakfast was just awful. No tea offered just a weak lukewarm substitute from a vacuum flask. Two slices of toast and one pat of butter, no condiments of any sort. The actual breakfast was dreadful, a picture tells a thousand words..

Visited here a couple of times previously and could find no fault. However, on our last trip mid-September we found that the restaurant has changed the ordering process for food. Previously, rice and naan bread were included in the price of the meal. This time round you had to order these items separately for an additional charge. To be charged £17 for a tiny dish of chicken. Jalfrezi is certainly not acceptable when there were only five small pieces of chicken in my meal. Although the food is completely fantastic, I hate being ripped off and charged over the odds. Will definitely not return here. Word-of-mouth spreads very quickly and considering we live locally we have made other people aware of the bad experience. Marques staff need to reconsider the portion sizes. Some dishes like the korma was far bigger than the jalfrezi and much better value for money. Alternatively, include rice OR naan in with the smaller portioned main meals.
