“A Roman Doric portico makes a swanky statement about this Grade II listed Georgian House, but within lies a stylish yet relaxed and fun boutique hotel...Bedrooms wittily reference Southernhay's original owner, an officer, diplomat and orientalist, who worked for the East India Company. They range from luxury...down to 'intimate' with no compromise on quality."
The Good Hotel Guide
MashIt-
“Perfectly situated behind Exeter Cathedral, this Grade II listed Georgian townhouse is the ideal spot if you want everything on your doorstep. An independently owned boutique hotel, Southernhay House offers a range of luxury rooms and stays, making every effort to ensure you have everything you need. Bedrooms are individually designed and even include a specially selected book collection. Relax in front of the Club Room fire, spend summer nights in the secret garden and enjoy the comfort of the stylish bar.”

“Southernhay Hotel is a luxury bolthole in central Exeter, combining East India Company heritage with modern city savvy. This boutique property has one of the city’s swankiest cocktail bars, super service and plush interior design – expectations are exceeded.”
The Telegraph

“Festooned with antique paintings of bygone sultans and admirals, rolltop baths, a seriously chic cocktail bar and a bag of Devon fudge on arrival, this is, by a comfortable margin, the finest boutique spot for miles around.”
The Independent

“ There’s an everyday luxe vibe at this beautiful Grade II-listed Georgian boutique hotel. Period features, modern comforts and exquisite focal pieces provide the backdrop to an exuberant line up of cocktails and wines….you can choose on spec whether to prop up the bar, grab a perch in the adjoining (and award-winning) Green Room, or meander outside to chase the sun across the secret garden and terrace. If your fave tipple isn’t among the 25+ cocktails on the list, let the bartenders go rogue and mix you something bespoke.”
