For visitors arriving by car, Exeter hotels with parking offer a practical base to explore the city and surrounding Devon countryside. Options range from the 3-star St Andrews Hotel, with its large free car park and proximity to Exeter Cathedral and the historic quayside, to the 4-star Courtyard by Marriott Exeter Sandy Park, which provides free private parking and a fitness centre next to Sandy Park Rugby Stadium. The Telstar, a Victorian town house near the train station, combines free on-site parking with a tiled courtyard and scenic views, catering to travelers who value a personal touch. Budget-conscious guests can consider the Toby Carvery Exeter M5 J30 by Innkeeper's Collection, located just off junction 30 and featuring a traditional carvery restaurant. While central Exeter is walkable from most properties, the Park and Ride service offers an alternative for accessing the city center directly.
Expect to pay between £80 and £130 per night for a double room, with free parking included at all listed hotels. Amenities commonly include free WiFi, en-suite bathrooms, and tea/coffee making facilities; the Mill on the Exe, a converted mill house on the River Exe, goes further with Nespresso machines and luxury bedding. The Telstar serves a full English breakfast made from local ingredients, while the Courtyard by Marriott offers a buffet. For business travelers, St Andrews Hotel is close to the Marsh Barton Trading Estate, and the Courtyard by Marriott features a business centre. Families will find the Toby Carvery and the Courtyard by Marriott accommodating. Book in advance, especially during university terms or rugby events at Sandy Park.
