Had a very comfortable nights sleep, the room was very comfortable my only problem was the shower that was not very powerful was more of a dribble, everything else was wonderful, The owner was very welcoming and the breakfast was outstanding, the room was very clean as was the rest of the bed and breakfast. Good value for money.

The owner is an exceptional lady and runs her establishment very well. The guesthouse is spotlessly clean, far better than some 4 star hotels I have stayed in. We were made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble for her. Breakfast was excellent, enough choice for everyone, severed at the time requested and always hot. I could... More

This is a very well run guesthouse in a great location, city centre and yet quiet with a park behind it. The owner is welcoming and helpful, the house is warm and spotless and there is everything you could need. I have stayed here many times and always enjoyed my stay. I also think it's very good value for money.

This is a pleasant, spotlessly clean, well furnished and very quiet B&B in a good location. Good breakfast (nothing imaginative or different here, but a relative of mine who used to run a B&B and who offered lots of yummy, healthy alternatives to the standard English breakfast told me most guests seemed to prefer the same old same old, so...

Yet another enjoyable stay at the Woodbine Guest House. Like a Home from Home. Very clean and tidy. All the things you need for a short stay. The owner is very friendly and helpful and even gave me an alarm call. Breakfast, as always very delicious and freshly cooked at the time you state. Will always try here first but... More

I have just enjoyed a pleasant and relaxing stay at the woodbine. Having stayed here 2 years ago for a different training course at the university I was really happy to be greeted by Kiran (the owner) with a warm and personal welcome. The dining room has been changed and refurbished since I was last here and it has been... More

Having stayed in Exeter several times over the past year while attending NoHands Massage training courses, I stayed each time at Woodbine Guesthouse. My colleague and I returned each time due to the care of the owner, the cleanliness, the excellent breakfast. No request was too much trouble. The rooms are very nicely done, very clean and there is attention... More

Great welcome; warm and friendly. Everything that one looks for in a small B&B is there plus more beside. Karin pours her heart into her business and it certainly shows. I have had the pleasure of staying at Woodbine three times this year and everything about this lovely guesthouse made my stay in Exeter a very enjoyable and relaxing one.

I stayed here for one night when on business in Exeter. The owner was friendly and very helpful, giving me clear directions to everywhere I wanted to go and being ready to offer any other advice I needed. The location is excellent: ideal for getting to the city centre, university and train stations - which are all in short walking... More

The host is friendly and welcoming, the room was simple but comfortable, the breakfast was good and fresh (nice bacon) and really conveniently situated within walking distance of the town centre, cathedral etc. I don't often spend the night in Exeter, but I can't see any reason to look elsewhere next time I do.
