About
The Devon Hotel
Located on the outskirts of Exeter beside the Matford Business District, The Devon Hotel is a contemporary country-style hotel and conference venue combining business-focused event facilities, modern accommodation and strong transport connectivity within one of Exeter’s most accessible commercial locations. Positioned just off the A38 and close to the M5, the hotel has become a popular destination for conferences, corporate stays, business meetings and private events across Devon.
Centred around a Georgian manor house aesthetic with more contemporary extensions and conference facilities, the venue blends traditional hospitality with practical corporate infrastructure. Unlike more destination-led countryside venues, The Devon Hotel is highly operationally focused, offering free parking, EV charging, flexible conference suites and direct access to Exeter’s business districts and transport links.
Its location beside Marsh Barton Trading Estate and close to Exeter city centre makes it particularly attractive for regional conferences, business travel and accessible corporate events.
Event Spaces
The Regency Suite
At the heart of the venue’s conferencing offering is the Regency Suite, the hotel’s largest event space supporting conferences, presentations, exhibitions, networking events and banqueting. The suite benefits from natural daylight, air conditioning, private entrance access and integrated facilities suitable for larger delegate events.
Conference & Meeting Rooms
The hotel offers four flexible meeting and conference suites suitable for board meetings, training sessions, workshops and private dining events. Complimentary Wi-Fi, adaptable layouts and integrated catering support make the venue particularly practical for corporate events and business meetings.
Private Events & Celebrations
Alongside corporate use, the venue also hosts weddings, private dining, celebrations and hospitality events. Its combination of accommodation, parking and flexible function rooms allows the hotel to support both business and social events effectively.
Accommodation
The Devon Hotel offers modern guestrooms and executive accommodation designed around both business and leisure travel. The hotel also includes a fitness suite, restaurant and bar facilities for residential guests and delegates.
Dining & Hospitality
The hotel has built a strong reputation locally for its restaurant and hospitality offering, focusing on modern British dining and West Country produce. Conference catering, delegate packages and private dining experiences are all supported through the in-house events and kitchen teams.
Facilities and Services

The venue’s practical accessibility and corporate infrastructure position it as one of Exeter’s strongest business-focused hotel venues.
