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.

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.

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.

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
Lovely room at the front (204), overlooking the shopping area. Worth noting that we didn't notice any street noise.
This room has a walk-in shower which we need, rather than an over-bath one.
Lift access too, by the way.
The staff are excellent. Friendly, efficient and professional at all times. They even helped us with our luggage.
Happy to recommend both the lounge bar food and, especially, the restaurant. Best to book the restaurant... it's popular.
The hotel is in a great location for the town, shops, cafés etc.
Lovely place to stay, our hosts were very welcoming, happy to help us with whatever we needed. Welcome pack provided including trout from the farm. Set in beautiful countryside with a stream running right past the cottage. Good location for Barnstaple and surrounding area. The cottage was very well equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen and other things like board games and books. We also used the sauna, which was great after a rather wet day out and a fun addition to the cottage. We didn't want to leave!
Quirky secluded stay down a well-kept and very well lit track from the carpark. The instructions were excellent, the key, a torch, etc, all very accessible and the guest's needs really thought about. Wonderful! The cottage is tucked away in beautiful, interesting woodland with the sound of the stream below. Gorgeous location. The accommodation is exceptionally well equipped with everything you need. /the area is lovely too. Highly recommended!
It wasn’t clear I was staying with Burt from the listing but not an issue as I was told to make myself at home, I was even offered Sunday lunch. It was at the top of my budget but amongst the cheapest rooms in Barnstaple within a 15 minute walk. The room was cosy, warm and nicely decorated with access to Sky TV. Mattress and bedding was very comfortable. Great kitchen and range saved me on meals out.
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
Clean , modern room .
Complementary tea/coffee.. soap / shampoo.
Lovely hosts. And a bargain breakfast.
Great location for town centre / theater , just a couple of minutes walk away
Public Carpark behind with a parking app so easy to top up carparking if needed . Only £13 for 24hrs or free after 6pm until 8am
Over all Well worth the money .
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!
The Hotel is more like a B&B, I had a nice welcome and was pleased with the size of the room. It was by the main road so traffic noise was an issue but the bedding was really cozy, the room temperature was good, good firm pillows, lots of milk for tea/coffee, breakfast was very nice and staff were great

Beautiful location. Sent my daughter here for her birthday and she was so pleased with everything including the Partridge on the menu that she'd never tried before. Great staff, and service.
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!
Cosy inside, thick carpet in bedrooms, large dining table to work at, close to Barnstaple. There was a problem with the bathroom light which was fixed quickly.
