Comfortable Bedrooms near Exeter Central Station

City Gate sits right beside Exeter’s historic walls, a hop, skip, and jump away from the city centre and Central Station. Their 20 bedrooms have plenty of personality, with Hypnos beds, rainfall showers and Nespresso machines among the comforts. Downstairs, the pub celebrates seasonal British ingredients from land and sea, putting its own stamp on traditional pub favourites. Think beer-battered fish and chips, freshly made pies and impressive Sunday roasts, alongside breakfasts and brunches. Exeter Cathedral and the Royal Albert Memorial Museum are a short stroll away, while the historic Quayside, Exeter Ship Canal and River Exe open up plenty of opportunities for waterside wandering.
