When the majority of people think about vacations in England they nearly always only consider resorts by the sea such as Torquay, Margate, Great Yarmouth and Bognor Regis. Occasionally people may debate having a vacation in a specific English county for example Devon in the south of England but rarely do they think about taking a vacation in the city of Exeter. The following article introduces various factors why an Exeter vacation is a great idea.

The first reasons for taking a holiday in Exeter is that the accommodation is amazingly cheap with bed and breakfast in Exeter available at roughly 25 a night and lots of places around the forty to fifty pounds mark.

Obviously there should be more than a minimal price to entice you to stay in a city and Exeter certainly has lots to offer the possible visitor. You will discover that there are a great many top class visitor attractions in the city center and even more within a short distance and if this is not enough then the city of Plymouth is only a short distance away and you will discover that there is also cheap bed and breakfast in Plymouth and even more incredible visitor attractions. Plus you will find that there are plenty of breathtaking sites to see all along the nearby coast.

Where To Stay In Exeter

The Drewe Arms This accommodation is superb, the rooms are budget but the building is a picturesque seventeenth century thatched inn on the Two Moors Way (a walkers route). It is important to know that it is fifteen miles from Exeter city center. If you want more luxury the inn also offers four-poster rooms.

The Crawford Hotel This hotel accommodation is lots closer to the center of the city, about 1.6 kilometers. It is a 2 star hotel with good en suite rooms and, crucially, twenty four hour access to rooms, superb if you are planning on a late night or need access during the day. There is there is Free wireless internet access available in the public places of the hotel.

Tourist Attractions

In the city there are only a small number of places worth visiting including; the Royal Albert Museum, Rougemont Castle and St Peter’s Cathedral. As I said earlier there is a small collection of close by seaside villages to see the most worthwhile being the pretty villages of Beer, Seaton and Sidmouth.

Further away, in between Exeter and Plymouth is the hardly populated moorland of the Dartmoor National Park with the overall area having a fair few visitor attractions to see including A La Ronde, Buckfast Abbey and Buckland Abbey along the main route, to Plymouth. Along the way you will pass the Torbay area, which includes Paignton, Torquay and Brixham and is frequently called the English Riviera region.

Exeter really is a excellent place in which to take a vacation however why not discuss having a 2 destination vacation and spend a few of days/nights in a really nice Plymouth hotel and tour the splendid countryside and coast in between these 2 excellent cities?
