We will book again.
Lovely hotel, really clean & wonderful breakfasts. I would have given 5 stars if we had not have been in a room overlooking the rear lane, which was used by noisy pedestrians late at night, & dustbin lorry early morning. Free pass to The Barnstaple Hotel pool really appreciated, thank you.

Short stay.
The staff were very polite and helpful. The room suited my solo needs. The internet access was good. Parking across the road was safe and easily accessible. The room was cleaned very well during my 2 night stay. I would book again.
