Everything was top notch: the location, the friendly staff and the comfortable rooms. Breakfast was great. The swimming pool and sauna at the associated Barnstaple Hotel was clean and just a short walk by the river to get to.
Located opposite Rock Park and only a short level walk to the town center, this modern 4-star hotel offers easy access to the countryside and beaches of North Devon.

Very welcoming, great food. I asked the young lady on reception if there was any way I could print off some paperwork for work as I'd left mine back home in Newcastle upon tyne and she was very helpful and printed my paperwork for me.

Fabulous chefs produced 7 course taster evening meal and wonderful again chef prepared breakfast, amazing flavours and absolutely coordinated and balanced tasty servings over a large number of locally sourced products. Service was friendly and knowledgeable and professional throughout our stay. We felt everything was made to happen very specially just for us, a wonderful experience and a culinary delight.

This is a nice little west country town on the estuary of the Taw river, with easy access (by car) to surfing beaches of Croyde and Woolacombe bay, and to Exmoor for hiking.
It's easy to get around the town on foot. Bike rental is available for going farther afield.
There are some excellent restaurants, notably Tiffins (Indian).
There is an amusing museum with local information and artifacts .

Although not itself overly picturesque, it has excellent bus services to many places that are - Westward Ho, Ilfracombe, Bideford, Lynmouth and even Minehead! More should be made of these in publicity, don't assume everyone has a car.

I lead other cyclists on the Devon Coast to Coast cycle Trail , & Barnstaple is near the start or finish depending on whether you are going south or north. I normally go to the Hunters Lodge just south of Barnstaple they are excellent but they were full at the time.

Barnstaple is a charming town with a good range of architecture but particularly after dark the town is full of beggars, drunks, drug addicts giving the town a very unsafe and grubby feel. The Police and Council appear to have given up on improving the social environment and this probably impacts on the town’s tourist industry.

I haven't been to Barnstaple for a few years and was a bit disappointed as most of the old shops had gone you could have been anywhere, it's individuality had gone. If you haven't been before it is a lovely old town and has all the facilities that you could want.

The hotel and the food ere excellent
The staff were friendly helpful polite and very attentive. Breakfast was amazing and dinner was excellent choices. We ate there for our whole stay. Very reasonable prices too. The pool and the gym were greatwe were lucky with the weather so were able tobe outdoors for most of our stay
The hotel is situated in the town of Barnstaple with a great shopping street, restaurants, bars etc. Walking distance to the river which you can walk along. Beautiful hotel, classy interior, friendly staff, good sized bedroom with what you need, kettle, tea/coffee etc. Great breakfast with lots of choice. Lovely bar/restaurant. Has a car park but also plenty of local parking. Would highly recommend.
It was a breath of fresh air from the national hotel chains I stay at, all the facilities that you need were there at half the price, so why pay more. The reason why I found your hotel was because the hotel I was going to stay at rang me at the last moment to say they had overbooked my room, I will not be staying with them again as your hotel has everything I need.
A beautiful room which exceeded our expectations. Just absolutely stunning. We were made to feel so welcome. The decor is amazing. The bath was just the icing on the cake! Due to leaving early we were unable to make the breakfast times but we were helpfully accommodated and just could not have asked for anything else. You have to stay here it’s such a lovely hotel
The hotel is customer friendly. Friendly staff. Food. Pool. Good Atmosphere in hotel. Smart decor throughout.
Initiative my case was taken to my room when it was ready. Restaurant staff remembered I needed GF and oat milk. I needed a computer shop as laptop failed. Staff recommended a place in Barnstaple.
Room was cleaned.
Such a quiet and peaceful place to stay. Has everything that you would need. Felt very safe and comfortable and had a really relaxing time whilst I was working in Barnstaple. The host was very helpful and when I had a small issue with an appliance he came to see me and sort it personally, just a lovely touch!
Great location very close to Barnstaple. Lovely views. Very well equipped cottage. The hosts had thought of all the essential needs, including gin glasses. The welcome hamper was appreciated and the fudge was excellent. Highly recommended and would happily stay again.
Perfect base to visit north Devon!!,
Off the beaten track, Ideal for a couple, lovely Bedroom ( comfy)
All facilities are there to make your stay enjoyable.
Friendly family, lovely Dogs, amazing lake.

Recommended location to stay!!!
Excellent service from the staff. It's so refreshing to go to a hotel theses days where everyone knows what they are doing. Great breakfast and good facilities. The hotel did everything that we asked for and we never felt like anything was too much trouble.
The views overlooking the estuary of the Taw and the sunsets were a delight. Easy access to shopping in Barnstaple was useful. Instructions on how to gain the keys good. The apartment was comfortable and well equipped. We had great short break.
Beautiful luxury hotel in the heart of Barnstaple.
Perfect for exploring North Devon.
The hotel is spotless and the staff couldn’t do enough for you.
Our room on the 3rd floor was perfect!
location was convenient for Barnstaple town center and not too far from the other place we had to visit.
staff were very pleasant and helpful.
plenty of easy parking close.
The inn's grounds are gorgeous. Take time to wander through the sculpture garden and the common areas of the inn itself. Art everywhere! And the food is outstanding.
Cute and comfortable accomodation in Barnstaple. Simonne and Kim were very personable and accomodating hosts. Great breakfast and welcome hot tub after trekking.
