At Hotel du Vin, it’s always a food celebration in a very relaxed and easy-going setting. Now sit back, relax and enjoy a glorious Sunday Lunch your own pace. Divine.

Sunday Lunch always has an air of something special about it – whether it’s a family get-together, special celebration or simply an excuse to spoil yourself.

A British institution. Meats were traditionally roasted in front of a fire on a Sunday, dating back to the reign of King Henry VII. Since the 15th century, the royal bodyguards have been known as ‘Beefeaters’ because of their love of eating roast beef. In the 18th century the French started calling Englishmen ‘rosbifs’. Therefore it is only fitting that ‘rosbif ’ is the centrepiece of Hotel du Vin's perfect Sunday lunch. The roasts are served with all the trimmings, including proper Yorkshires

Formerly an Eye Infirmary, Hotel du Vin Exeter has historic walled gardens and striking architecture, creating the backdrop for a special Afternoon Tea experience.

    Many hotels advertise themselves as "dog friendly," but often that just means "dogs are allowed." However, we had a genuinely great experience at this hotel with our dog. She's a nervous rescue and can be reactive at times, but all the staff were incredibly kind and accommodating. Thanks to them, we were able to relax for once in a public space with her. The service in both the restaurant and bar was excellent—everyone was polite, professional, and friendly. Reception was also great, with the exception of the manager, to be honest. The room itself was a bit dusty and could’ve been cleaner, but the facilities were excellent, it wasn't missing a detail, and the bed was very comfortable. They also provided food and water bowls for the doggy, a dog bed, and even a little welcome bag with treats, a toy, and poo bags. Top notch. Overall, we were very happy with the experience and would absolutely recommend it to other dog owners.

    A lovely hotel with a nice courtyard. The room was ok size, but a bed was very comfy! A large bath with a plenty of room. An ironing board, an iron and a dryer were very handy for getting ready for a wedding. Breakfast: The banana bread was disappointing, but smoked kiper was one of the best ones I’ve ever had. Smoky and it melts in mouth. They had a vegetable and herb patch at the back.

    This hotel is in a fab spot. The rooms are hit or miss, however. Rooms at the front are quite noisy with road noise and bins: rear rooms being much quieter and nicer. It's not clear on the website that there's additional charges for dogs. The pool is a nice addition for an outdoor swim.
