When most people consider United Kingdom vacations they nearly always just consider seaside resorts such as Whitby, Bognor Regis, Eastbourne and Clacton-on-Sea. Infrequently folk might consider having a vacation in a specific county in England such as the county of Devon in south England but not very often do they consider having a short break in the city of Exeter. The following article discusses various factors why an Exeter vacation is a great idea.
The very first reasons for taking a short break in Exeter is that the accommodation is amazingly cheap with Exeter bed and breakfast accommodation available at about twenty five pounds per night and many rooms around the £40 – £50 price range.
Of course there has to be more than a low price to attract you to stay in a city and Exeter certainly has lots to offer the possible tourist. You will discover that there are many excellent tourist attractions in the city and even more close by and if that isn’t sufficient then Plymouth is not too far away and you will find that there is also cheap accommodation in Plymouth and even more fantastic visitor attractions. Also there are masses of astounding sites to visit along the nearby coast.
Where To Stay In Exeter
The Drewe Arms
This hotel is superb, the rooms are reasonably priced but the actual building is a picturesque 17th century thatched inn on the Two Moors Way walking route. It is important to note that it is roughly 15m away from the center of the city. If you need more luxury the inn also offers four-poster rooms.
The Crawford Hotel
This hotel is lots closer to the center of the city, about 1.6 kilometers. It is a 2 star establishment with good en suite rooms and, crucially, 24 hour access to rooms, excellent if you are planning to have a long night out or need access during the day. You will find there is Free wireless internet access in public areas of the hotel.
Places To Visit
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 selection of nearby seaside resorts to visit the most beautiful being the old-fashioned villages of Sidmouth, Seaton and Beer.
Further away, between Plymouth and Exeter is the sparsely populated moorland of the Dartmoor National Park with the general region having several visitor attractions worth visiting including Buckland Abbey, A La Ronde and Buckfast Abbey on the main road, to Plymouth. Along the way you will see the Torbay area, which is made up of Brixham, Paignton and Torquay and is frequently referred to as the English Riviera region.
Exeter really is a excellent city in which to have a vacation but why not debate having a two destination vacation and spend a few of nights/days in a nice Plymouth hotel and tour the splendid countryside in between the 2 excellent cities?
