Lord Haldon Country Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western

We are a family of 3 and we had the choice of 2 rooms. I chose the one with 2 double beds because I valued the comfort of my daughter. It turned out that the room was over the exhaust of the kitchen, which made some noise. My wife was worried that it would disturb our rest so we went to reception to see if they had a different room. They showed us the other room which has a bed sofa as second bed, which turned out to be very comfortable. The room was excellent with a beautiful view and very quiet. The restaurant serves very nice food although the menu is somewhat limited. We only stayed there 3 nights so I can't confirm this but I think they change the menu weekly so for longer stays it's probably fine. As a vegetarian my choices are always limited so I had a harder time choosing something from the menu than my wife and daughter. We didn't try breakfast because we don't eat much in the morning. We made our own breakfast instead. Everyone of the personnel was super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. This hotel has spectacular views, situated on a hill top. It seems remote (which is a plus: it's super quiet!) but it's actually just a few minutes drive from the motorway and Exeter. A great location if you want to explore. The hotel itself is also a beautiful old building with loads of character.

Love the views, countryside, lovely gardens, the spaciousness, plenty of parking, peaceful relaxing atmosphere, the comfortable white cotton sheets bed, the bath in my room was lovely wide corner bath that was luxury to relax in, the bathroom was spacious and spotlessly clean, the desk for working at was good, the bed side lamps were quality. I had kippers and eggs for breakfast which was a wonderful portion with fresh wedge of lemon and pea curls made this really healthy and delicious. Very good value room price.

The location means you can be in Exeter in 25 minutes or pretty much anywhere on Dartmoor or the south coast in 30 minutes or so. It’s quiet and beautiful and is outstandingly dog friendly. The staff are unfailing friendly and really add to the enjoyment of the stay.

Love this hotel. Great value for a stop over to visit our daughter. Great that it's dog friendly, too. Good location for Exeter, beaches at Exmouth, Dawlish and Teignmouth. Forest walks to discover next time. Friendly welcoming staff. Breakfast was additional cost, but that gave us the flexibility if we'd wanted to get out early and eat elsewhere. On this occasion we paid for breakfast which was excellent, with cereals, fruit, juice, tea/coffee and a range of cooked options.

Didn’t sample main breakfast - so can’t comment. However the porridge and blueberries were excellent as was the evening meal. Hotel itself is a bit tired looking but given the 3 star rating, excellent room rate, cleanliness and very comfortable seating in all the main areas we had no complaints whatsoever. All the staff that we interacted with were very helpful and friendly. The location was perfect for a getaway. And to top it all we found our way to the Belvadere for amazing views of the surrounding area.
