I'm staying in a hotel near Exeter, it's more rural than expected (I should have checked) and the wifi and Internet are slow. I need to work for a few hours tomorrow morning. Any ideas of a location where I can set up my laptop?? Happy to buy tea and lunch but don't really know the area.
Thanks

What side of Exeter are you on?

Have you checked if the library in the town centre is open?

I'm West (on the way A30 I think) but need to be on the east side for an afternoon appointment so happy to go anywhere, parking would be helpful.

Upstairs in Boston tea party in Queen Street is a nice (although fairly noisy) place to work, or yes the library I believe is open (also in queen street!)

Thanks, I never thought about the library, would they mind I'm not local?

There’s a small local cafe called The Snug in Whipton Village Road that has street parking and free WiFi. Great cakes and huge portions for breakfast and lunch.

Back when he was a grad student, my ex always used to go for a coffee in the Southgate Hotel (bottom end of Southernhay). Very quiet, free wifi, spacious, once you'd bought your coffee the staff would leave you alone for ages, apparently. There's a pay and display just across the road too.

The Mill on the Exe is a large pub that is pretty quiet on week day mornings. I'm sure you would be able to set up at a table for a few hours. There is free parking too.

Thanks everyone, perfect local knowledge
