Vacations In Exeter, Devon

in Travel

When the majority of folk think about having a vacation in Great Britain they mostly just consider resorts by the sea such as Blackpool, Eastbourne, Clacton-on-Sea and Bognor Regis. Sometimes folk may debate taking a short break in a particular county in England such as Devon in the south of England but not very often do they consider having a vacation in the city of Exeter. The following article discusses various reasons why a vacation in Exeter is a great idea.

The first reasons for taking a vacation in Exeter is that there is budget accommodation available with Exeter bed and breakfast accommodation available for approximately twenty five pounds a night and plenty of places around the forty to fifty pounds ballpark.

Obviously you will need more than a low price to interest you to visit a city and Exeter certainly has plenty to offer the potential tourist. You will discover that there are many excellent tourist attractions in the city centre and even more near by and if this is not enough then the city of Plymouth is nearby and you will find that there is also cheap Plymouth bed and breakfast accommodation and even more brilliant visitor attractions. Also you will discover plenty of astounding sites to see along the nearby coast.

Where To Stay In Exeter

The Drewe Arms
This hotel is superb, the rooms are low cost but the building is a picturesque seventeenth century thatched inn situated on the Two Moors Way walking route. Unfortunately it is 15m away from Exeter’s city center. If you want more luxury there are four-poster rooms available.

The Crawford Hotel
This accommodation is lots closer to the center of the city, just over one and a half km. It is a two star establishment with good en suite accommodation and, importantly, twenty four hour access to rooms, which is great if you are planning to have a long night out or if you will be needing to access the room during the day. There is there is Free wireless internet access available in the public places of the hotel.

Things To See & Do

In Exeter there are just a few of tourist attractions which merit your time including; the Royal Albert Museum, Rougemont Castle and St Peter’s Cathedral. As I mentioned earlier there is a small number of nearby seaside villages to see the most beautiful being the pretty villages of Seaton, Sidmouth and Beer.

Further away, between Plymouth and Exeter is the hardly populated moorland of the Dartmoor National Park with the overall region having several places worth visiting including A La Ronde, Buckfast Abbey and Buckland Abbey on the main road, to Plymouth. Along the way you will pass the Torbay area, which is made up of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham and is frequently called the English Riviera region.

Exeter truly is a great city in which to take a vacation but why not discuss having a 2 destination vacation and spend a few of nights/days in a luxurious hotel in Plymouth and travel around the gorgeous coastline in between the two superb cities?
