The Barnstaple Hotel

The Barnstaple Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely little hotel. Fantastic facilities, (the pool is lovely and warm) and everything is spotlessly clean. The rooms are comfortable and well equipped (even with a fridge) and the staff couldn't have been more welcoming. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you are ever in need of somewhere to stay in North Devon."
