Welcome to Southernhay House, Exeter, Devon

A classic town house, in the heart of Exeter’s Georgian business quarter, SH has been lovingly restored to its original purpose as a social focal point. The Grade II* building now holds a restaurant, private dining room, a romantic veranda, uber-smart bar and 10 gorgeous bedrooms.

Most importantly, it is run by a friendly and dedicated team, a combination of long-term Exeter residents and staff trained at its sister restaurant/hotel, Burgh Island.

“A chic, modern hotel and restaurant, inhabited by the ghosts of a Georgian past…”

While the design has embraced the colonial past of the House, which is reflected in its architecture and detailing, the project is not easily pigeon-holed but is infused with personal identity and off-beat modernism.
