About The Gissons Hotel
Kennford sits just outside Exeter, on the fringe of the Devon countryside where quiet lanes give way to walking and cycling routes, and The Gissons Hotel makes a practical base for exploring either the city or the surrounding hills. It's a straightforward, no-fuss hotel rather than a destination in itself, with free on-site parking and an electric vehicle charge point for those arriving by car.
Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms, free WiFi and drinks available in room, and reception is staffed around the clock for late arrivals or early starts. There's outdoor seating for warmer days, and while the hotel doesn't run its own restaurant, a pub, bar and eatery are all nearby for evening meals.
The location suits golfers, walkers and cyclists, with courses and trails within reach, and Exeter itself is close enough for a day trip into the city. It's a functional stopover with the essentials covered, set at the point where Exeter's edge meets open Devon countryside.
Guests consistently report that this hotel provides great value for money with clean and spacious rooms, and they consistently praise the friendly, helpful, and accommodating staff.
Other reviews mention the bar and restaurant can be closed, and rooms can be noisy.
