부동산 — The Clock Tower Hotel
The Clock Tower Hotel occupies a Victorian red-brick building on Exeter's New North Road, with the titular tower visible from the street. The lobby feels like a provincial railway hotel that's been lightly modernised — wood panelling, a patterned carpet, a reception desk that's efficient rather than ornate. It's a 3-star that knows its lane: clean rooms, a bar serving local ales, and a location that puts you a 10-minute walk from the cathedral and the city centre. Best for travellers who want a solid, no-surprises base rather than boutique character or spa facilities.
Exeter 연대기
Exeter began as a Roman settlement called Isca Dumnoniorum, a walled fortress city that later became a Saxon bishopric. The Norman cathedral, consecrated in 1133, dominates the skyline with its twin towers and the longest uninterrupted medieval vaulted ceiling in England. The city's medieval wool trade funded much of its architecture, including the Guildhall and the Quayside warehouses that now house restaurants and galleries. Bombing in 1942 destroyed much of the city centre, leading to a post-war rebuild of ring roads and shopping precincts that sit awkwardly next to the surviving medieval lanes. Today, Exeter is a compact university city with a creative edge — indie bookshops, a thriving food scene around the Quay, and easy access to both Dartmoor and the Jurassic Coast.
방문하기 가장 좋은 시간
Exeter 완전 가이드 →최고의 달
May, June, September — long daylight hours, reliable warmth (16-20°C), and the city is alive but not overrun. June has the Exeter Festival with outdoor performances.
Peak / Festival Surge 근처 오락거리
July and August are peak: school holidays, the Exeter Food Festival in August, and events like the Exeter Craft Festival. Hotel prices jump 30-50% above shoulder rates, and the city centre feels packed, especially around the Quay and the cathedral.
Budget Shoulder 시즌
April and October are the budget sweet spots. April can be cool but dry, with daffodils along the Exe estuary. October sees decent weather (12-16°C) and lower room rates — often 20-30% less than August.
날씨 & 포장
Exeter's climate is mild and wet, with rain on roughly 12-14 days a month even in summer. Pack a waterproof jacket with a hood as a non-negotiable; leave the umbrella at home because the wind off the Exe estuary will flip it inside out.
City Briefing 근처 오락거리 — Exeter
- Exeter's new 'Leisure and Culture Quarter' near the Civic Centre is ongoing; the city's museum, RAMM, remains open but with some galleries closed for redevelopment until late 2026.
- The bus station on Paris Street closed in July 2025; all regional buses now run from the new 'Exeter Bus Station' on Cheeke Street, near the railway station — check routes before arriving.
- Exeter's St Sidwell's Point leisure centre, the UK's first all-electric leisure centre, opened in 2022 and is a good alternative if rain hits; it includes a 25m pool and a climbing wall.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to The Clock Tower Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the back (courtyard side). These floors are above street-level racket and away from New North Road traffic.
Rooms to avoid
Steer clear of rooms on the 1st floor at the front of the building – directly above the entrance and closest to New North Road, so you'll hear buses and delivery vans. Also avoid any room near the lift shaft (usually central) if you're a light sleeper; 3-star hotels here tend to have older lifts that clunk.
Best views
Back-facing rooms on floor 4 offer a glimpse over Exeter's rooftops towards the Cathedral spire – not a full panorama, but better than staring at traffic on New North Road.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 – upper enough to dodge street noise, and typically above the breakfast-room / service hubbub.
🔊 Noise notes
New North Road is a busy arterial route into Exeter city centre, with bus routes and delivery lorries from early morning. The hotel's frontage is directly on this road. Single-glazed windows are common in older 3-star buildings here, so street noise penetrates easily.
Insider tips
1) The hotel has no on-site parking – use the nearby 'Queen's Street' car park (pay-and-display) a 3-minute walk east. 2) Request a room on the 3rd floor or above, back of house, when booking – mention 'courtyard side' specifically. 3) Check-in is often at 3pm, but they'll store bags if you arrive early; ask for a ground-floor luggage room slot.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
