About the area

Located in Barnstaple, Hunter's Inn is near the beach. While the natural beauty of Exmoor National Park and North Devon Coast can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can explore Ilfracombe Harbour. Lynton & Barnstaple Railway and Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park are also worth visiting. Take the opportunity to explore the area for outdoor excitement like hiking/biking trails.

The hotel is a hidden gem. The location was perfect for family walks and a great base to make vists to Ilfracoombe, Lynton and Lynmouth.

Beautiful location, many walking opportunities. The apartment is dog friendly, comfortable, well equipped & spacious, with fantastic views & simple stylish decor. Plenty of room for muddy gear. It is well heated & directly adjacent to the Hunters Inn. Seasoning & condiments are not provided, but there are basic utensils & pans and the all important dishwasher oven, hob & microwave. The table can seat 6. Staff were helpful & welcoming & our dog really enjoyed the attention & being able to join us for afternoon tea or dinner.

Lovely place

Been here before and love the building and surroundings, Great place to use as a base to explore north Devon , However slightly disappointed with the fact there wasnt a chair in the room nor was there any draws. And it was a shame to listen to staff including upper levels moaning about other members of staff

The Hotel is set in the most lovely valley. It would be a bird watchers dream. There is the most beautiful peacock who lives there. It is next to a stream and surrounded by woodland. The hotel is very clean. The food is lovely. The property is very warm as it was cold when we visited. The only thing we didn’t find pleasurable was the roads to it. We came in from what turned out to be the worse road and used the other road for the rest of the time. It was a one track road and the car was almost touching either side. We did not bother venturing out after dark due to the roads which were more like farm tracks but it would not put us off visiting again 🙂

The room was clean, once we found it, the key fob was wrongly labelled. It appeared to have been wrecked recently, and nothing had been changed. Broken toilet roll holder, broken rubbish bin and damaged woodwork and paint. I was told that EV car could be charged at the National Trust chargepoint. "Just unplug their van if one is on the charging point " The N T guy we spoke to was not impressed! Needless to say, I had NOT unplugged their van!
