About

Holiday Inn Express Exeter East is off Junction 29 of the M5, a 5-minute drive from Exeter Airport and a 15-minute drive from the city centre. Park at the hotel for £7 per day, via YourParkingSpace. Catch a train to London from Pinhoe Station, one mile away. Entertain the whole family at Crealy Theme Park with over 60 rides and attractions, less than four miles from the hotel. Venture beneath the bustling city streets on a guided tour of Exeter's Underground Passages then enjoy a trip to the Royal Albert Memorial Museum, five minutes apart. Exeter Cathedral dates back to the 12th century and is a must if you’re sightseeing. Attend events at Powderham Castle, 20 minutes away or visit Exeter Quayside’s cafes, restaurants and bars are popular with locals and visitors. Admire the beautiful views of Dartmoor National Park, just 30 minutes away, or walk along the picturesque Jurassic Coast beaches for some fresh air. After busy days sightseeing, relax in your convenient room with free Wi-Fi and a flat-screen TV. Order drinks or pizzas from the bar and wake up to a buffet breakfast included in your stay.
