The City Gate is a characterful pub with 20 boutique bedrooms, perfectly placed in the heart of Exeter and just a short walk from the city centre, Exeter Cathedral and the historic Quayside.
Whether you’re visiting for a weekend away, stopping by for lunch or looking for somewhere to celebrate, you’ll find everything you need under one roof. The pub serves seasonal British food throughout the day, from much-loved pub classics and lighter dishes to traditional Sunday roasts, alongside a well-stocked bar of beers, wines, cocktails, spritzes and alcohol-free options. Breakfast is also served daily.
Tucked away behind the pub is our hidden courtyard garden, complete with a covered stretch tent – a little oasis in the city centre and the perfect spot for lunch, after-work drinks or a relaxed evening with friends.
Upstairs, our 20 individually designed boutique bedrooms offer a comfortable base for exploring Exeter and the wider Devon area, with thoughtful touches including air conditioning and minibars.
Planning an occasion? The City Gate has a choice of private and semi-private spaces for meetings, parties, family celebrations, corporate events and weddings, including our Gallery and private Cellar Bar.
