Gorgeous, historic pub on the Riverside, near the station just a little after the roundabout. Seating , on Terraces under the Willows and up outside?, the Conservatory . The Mill On The Exe looks fabulous before you get inside. Very old interior with beautiful decor and furnishings to complement the atmosphere. Plenty of tables, all told. They have rooms - which I didn't know about - but must check them out , as, we are going daily, to the RD&E hospital- if we feel exhausted after our journeying from Holsworthy - we might be lucky to get a room. We ate an early just before 6pm and were more or less, alone in the Conservatory, next to a very large fire in the middle, which is obviously great in Winter? Lots of customers were outside on the riverbank in the Sun.🌞 All the staff were extremely cheerful chatting while taking our order and when they passed by.The Toilets were very nice- which is one thing,that I judge an establishment on. We ordered the Light Fish and Chips and a Steak Salad, both washed down with a pint of bitter and very nice large glass Rosè .We were given a bottle of water to wash the meal down with, very nice, but were too full, to look at the deserts menu.... All in all- we wished to stop so many times, as we passed, but after finally doing so, have found a gem, that is not just for Students. Highly recommend.

Only a short walk from Exeter St Davids railway station, we were very surprised at how lovely the location was for the venue. On arriving at the venue, we received a friendly welcome and ordered our drinks which were nicely chilled as it was a very warm day. We took our drinks to the outside garden and found a seat right alongside the river Exe, it was such a peaceful and tranquil location. If we hadn’t had already made arrangements to have been somewhere else a bit later, we could have easily spent many hours sat in the sunshine watching the water flow by There was just two in our group, but you could easily pop in on your own, or go with a much bigger group. If was nice to see so many do walkers there with their dogs well behaved enjoying the rest in the sunshine The Mill on the Exe is a definite must visit if you are in the area, we travelled by train but there is a large car park on site as well and is only a short walk from Exeter City centre and all the attractions etc that you would wish to visit. There are 14 rooms available to stay in, so would definitely be a location to come and visit again and make a weekend of the visit.

Booked at last minute for overnight stay away, and what a place we found. Right on the banks of the river, facing west so that the garden and terrace were in full sun in the afternoon and evening, a 10 minute walk (up a step flight of stairs) to the centre of Exeter with all that the beautiful cathedral centre has to offer in a compact walkable area! We ate in the restaurant and had a superb meal served by an attentive undergraduate waiter (followed in the morning by an equally superb breakfast and a walk along the river) at a very reasonable price The room was excellent being large, well furnished and decorated with a comfortable bed and great shower and quiet even though the doors faced the beer garden and river beyond. The only downside was the private terrace outside the room, which obviously hadn’t been sweep recently and was covered with moss that had fallen from an adjacent roof and a number of dog ends and beer bottle which although pointed out to the general manager was not resolved during our stay Overall and place to stay and visit Exeter and further a field we shall be back

Two carparks one for pub/restaurant goers and another for hotel guests. Check in ,is in the restaurant all info given My room was at the top of the hotel a few steps to climb! The room was very spacious. Wet room was a good size Bed super comfortable WiFi excellent Shower was ok Evening meal was good Good choice menu but a tad on the expensive side Location a 10 min walk to to city ,next to the river lots of nice walks close by. Would definitely stay again and recommend 👌

3 adults and a youngster requiring a high chair. All ready as we booked ahead. Food excellent and great service....thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Nice and cosy on a wet and windy evening. Rib-eye steaks cooked as ordered.

Great pub by the weir on the river exe, seating all along by the river and great food. Free parking. Everything is self service you need to find a table go inside get a menu and then go back to the bar and order whatever you want. Please note there are two separate menus a day menu and an evening menu, make sure you get the correct one. I recommend the vegan fish and chips on the evening menu. Staff very friendly and helpful
