Set in the village of Broadclyst on the outskirts of Exeter, Red Lion provides a garden. Located around 7 km from Sandy Park Rugby Stadium, the inn is also 6 km away from Westpoint Arena. Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital is 7 km from the inn.

I was immediately welcomed by all the staff, very friendly all. I loved that it was a small, warm and cozy country inn. Amazing full English breakfast with other options too. Nice pub downstairs too.

I LOVE this pub/hotel. I have to travel to various cities for work and I am so glad I found this spot! Very safe and welcoming and the beds are SPOTLESS! I’ve travelled to Exeter twice for work and stayed here both times. Slightly outside the centre about 10 mins by car but worth it. Amazing priced rooms, so clean , spotless bed sheets. They provide water bottles, coffee, tea and hot chocolate in the rooms which all have beautiful decor bits such as homely mugs and pillows. 100% would come back again and again!! There’s a guy local in the village that only charges £10 to take you in and out of the centre too. Lovely chap !

    We had a 3 fantastic nights at Brook Farmhouse. It is a charming cottage. The king room was huge. Very quiet location. We enjoyed spending evenings in the living room by the fire place. Penny and Paul were great hosts and managed all our queries with smile. The breakfast was great specially the apple juice!

    Great location for car and bus from M5, Exeter City Centre and the Royal Devon & Exeter hospitals. Quiet & private. Very large bedrooms all with separate keys. Shared living area includes seating & kitchen, which is well equipped for 6 guests. Spotlessly clean & warm. Able to park 1 or 2 cars immediately outside the front door. Hosts are keen to make the stay as enjoyable as possible and respond quickly to text/phone, but they live very close to the apartment if visits are necessary.
