When the majority of people consider taking a vacation in England they mostly just mention resorts by the sea such as Weston-super-Mare, Skegness, Southport and Bognor Regis. Occasionally people may discuss taking a short break in a particular county in England such as Devon in south England but not very often do they think about taking a vacation in the city of Exeter. The following article examines the various reasons why a vacation in Exeter is a cool idea.
Probably one of the most important reasons for having a holiday in Exeter is that the accommodation is extremely reasonable with Exeter bed and breakfast available from around 25 a night and plenty of places around the forty to fifty pounds price range.
Obviously you will need more than a low price to attract you to visit a city and Exeter definitely has lots to offer the possible tourist. You will find that there are numerous superb visitor attractions in the city center and even more near by and if that is not enough then Plymouth is not too far away and you will discover that there is also cheap accommodation in Plymouth and even more incredible visitor attractions. Also there are plenty of astounding places 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 building is a picturesque seventeenth century thatched inn on the famous Two Moors Way (a walkers route). Sadly it is fifteen miles away from the city center. If you require more luxury the inn also has four-poster rooms available.
The Crawford Hotel This hotel is much closer to Exeter’s city center, roughly 1.6 km. It is a 2 star hotel with comfortable 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. You will find there is Free wireless internet access available in the public places of the hotel.
Visitor Attractions
In the city of Exeter there are only a few of tourist attractions worth visiting including; Rougemont Castle, the Royal Albert Museum and St Peter’s Cathedral. As I mentioned earlier in this article there is a small selection of nearby seaside villages to visit the most beautiful being the quaint villages of Beer, Seaton and Sidmouth.
Further away, between Plymouth and Exeter is the sparsely populated moorland of the Dartmoor National Park with the general area having several tourist attractions worth a visit including Buckfast Abbey, Buckland Abbey and A La Ronde along the main road, to Plymouth. Along the way you will pass the Torbay area, which consists of Paignton, Torquay and Brixham and is commonly referred to as the English Riviera.
Exeter really is a brilliant place in which to stay but why not have a think about having a twin destination vacation and spend a couple of days in a really luxurious hotel in Plymouth and travel around the splendid countryside and coast in between the 2 superb vacation destinations?
