Oh the weather outside is frightful but inside Mercure Exeter Southgate is so delightfulMercure Exeter Southgate boasts the perfect location for your year-end celebrations in the leafy Georgian area of Southernhay.
If you can tear yourself away from our cosy open fires there’s so much to explore: the city’s historic Roman walls are a short walk away, as are the picturesque Quay, the river Exe and the glorious Exeter Cathedral. We’re perfectly located for the fabulous Princesshay shopping centre too, while the breath-taking Dartmoor National Park, ideal for a bracing winter stroll, is only a short drive away.
