BOOKING A GROUP? WELCOMING GROUPS TO THE JEWEL OF THE SOUTH WEST
EXETER, THE CITY OF EXPERIENCES Located in the heart of Devon, Exeter is a centuries-old attractive and vibrant city. The Gothic cathedral presides over pockets of cobbled streets; Medieval and Georgian buildings and fragments of the Roman city stretch out all around. The contemporary shopping centre brings bursts of the modern with bars, pubs and restaurants providing a buzzing nightlife. The vibrant quayside acts as a launch pad for cycling or kayaking trips. Throw in some stylish places to eat, and you have a relaxed but lively base for exploring. Exeter is the gateway to the South West.
