Hotel Barcelona especially if the comapny is paying, that or the southgate hotel, both close to each other and town.

Hi James

Depends on where your course is being held really. The Express by Holiday in is on the edge of Exeter Business park, near the M5, and is not a bad shout - there is a pub next to it called the barn owl which serves decent food!

Have stayed at the Travelodge just on the Exeter juction off the M5 and is a nice one with a restaurant next door.

Also have stayed in a B and B up the road about 1/4 mile called the Exeter arms which does amazing food.

Have stayed in both and definatly recommend both and would stay there again. Both around the Ł50 ish a room per night so prob more in the price range.
