Exeter might be a small city but it has a long history and there’s plenty to keep you and your pet busy during your short break in Devon. From iconic landmarks like Exeter Cathedral and the University of Exeter to underground passages, Roman walls and its buzzing quayside, there’s lots to explore. If you want to trek further afield, Dartmoor National Park is ideal, but there’s plenty to keep you occupied within the city gates.
Central Exeter is well served for dog-friendly hotels, all only a short walk from the local shops, restaurants and visitor attractions. From well-known names with an impressive star rating like Hotel du Vin, Holiday Inn Express Exeter City Centre - an IHG hotel, to highly recommended pubs like the Red Lion which offer bed and breakfast accommodation. Let our friendly team help guide you through our range of pet-friendly hotels in Exeter. Many rooms also come with free wifi, and we can even find you somewhere with its own swimming pool.
Whether you’re looking for somewhere with a great central location or somewhere a little further out like Weeke Barton, a great value boutique hotel on the edge of Dartmoor, we’ll help you find it. Our accommodation in Exeter is perfect for anything from a luxury romantic break to a family holiday.
