  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Exeter is during January, February, and November, when hotel prices tend to be lower.

Additionally, Exeter University and its surrounding monuments offer great value for money, while budget-friendly canoeing options provide a unique way to appreciate the natural beauty of the area.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals for Exeter accommodation, visit the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates for hotels close to your travel date. By enabling email alerts or push notifications, you could stay informed about special promotions and flash sales, ensuring you don’t miss opportunities to save. Additionally, the Smart Shopping feature on the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, so if prices drop or new rooms become available, you're more likely to see these updates first and secure the best hotel deal for your getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may fluctuate due to factors like the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay at an Exeter hotel.
