Ok for one night stay. Bed and bathroom were lovely, no complaints. Room big enough. Only downside my room was behind the elevator so could hear it moving up and down.

Staff are fantastic and so friendly, but the accommodation feels very dated and sadly the town is quite run down. Spotlessly clean, amazingly friendly staff. They have kept the outside looking as good as possible but the area around them lets it down.

We stay at this hotel regularly when we visit our daughter and family up the road. It is comfortable,friendly and situated right in the heart of Barnstaple. Finding the prices have been ramped up a bit over the last year or so.

Good as usual
We were allocated a very small room that looked out over the flat roof of the building and fire exits The room was very small and would not be great for along stay, we were there two nights and it was okay Book parking if you need it as spaces can be tight, there is another parking plot further down the same road and it far from hotel
