A relaxed and friendly boutique hotel in the heart of Exeter city centre. A beautiful grade II* listed Georgian townhouse.
This is casual luxe life as it should be lived outside the metropolis.
Romantic hotel of the year
‘On a pretty square just a stroll away from Exeter Cathedral, this romantic Georgian town house has 11 bedrooms, all with minibar, REN toiletries and comfy seating. The peaceful dining room offers a short menu of intelligent dishes served by charming waiting staff.’
‘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.’
‘The epitome of an independent hotel that’s doing it right’
‘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’
‘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.’
Exeter’s branch of Blackwell’s is preparing a “19th-century love inn” with the city’s Southernhay House Hotel. The partnership will bring Blackwell’s books to guests’ hotel rooms so they can discover literature that relates to both the hotel’s “mercantile past” and its “wider place in the Exeter scene”.
