“The Turks Head truly feels like a well-kept secret in Exeter's centre, offering a delightful surprise of thoughtful touches like Nespresso machines and quality toiletries that elevate the room experience considerably. It struck me as offering remarkable value, managing to feel rather pampering despite its practical, central location and the inherent character of the building. The comfort of the beds and the quality of the showers were particularly noteworthy, making for a genuinely restorative stay.”
