Great for a night away

The room was spacious and newly decorated, with a very comfy bed, and all spotless. Staff were very friendly and helfpul. The pool and sauna were a great bonus (note that the saunas are in the changing rooms, one for women and one for men).

Great hotel if you just want to use the very well presented facilities inside the hotel confines. It's easy to find but sitting on the edge of an industrial estate. Its a 15 minute walk into the centre of the town.

Nice hotel within 15 minutes walk to the town centre. We had a room overlooking the outside pool, it was clean and nicely furnished. We didn’t use the indoor pool as there were quite a few children in there ( it was Easter holidays so this was to be expected) however my husband used the gym and was very impressed with the facilities. Would book again

What a lovely garden room very fresh and modern feel with all the amenities within you could want. A wonderful shower, probably one of the best hotel showers I've had it was powerful and great pressure and temperature. Lovely décor and a lovely comfortable bed. Really nice well maintained gardens and property.

Worthy of a 5* rating

Absolutely gob-smacked when we arrived at the Barnstaple Hotel, it was fantastic and totally unexpected. Staff were lovely, ambience great and it was just so welcoming. It was a fairly last minute booking, a one night stay and I hadn't really taken much notice of reviews etc. Great regret that I hadn't packed my swim-wear as the pools looked so enticing. Our room was so comfortable, such a shame that we couldn't spend longer there. Couldn't fault the hotel at all and we will definitely make a point of returning to Barnstaple and spending a few days at the Barnstaple Hotel, it was a holiday in itself.

Nice place but a few annoying things …

Ok stay… room is clean and modern, bathroom is tired. No bottles of water available in the room which is a shame, considering the price. The cups and saucers are again old fashioned, can’t make the hot chocolate in the cup as it’s too small and annoyingly there is a balcony light which is controlled by the hotel and switches off at 12am so if you like pitch darkness when you sleep, you won’t get that. Gym also opens at 7am so if your an early gym goer, may not work for you

The room was too warm at 28 even with window open. The air conditioner wasn’t working properly an£ stopped when it got to 25! We asked for help and was told the windows needed to be closed bu5 even though we did this th3 temp just rose to 27 The night staff said the air conditioners have not been emptied and we could hav a free second night, but I would rather have my money. I wouldn’t want to stay in a room not hot again. The facilities weren’t brilliant either.

The room was outside of the main hotel. The room was very cold with a single radiator which didn’t warm the room. I am sure the rooms in the main building are ok, but the outside rooms are cold. I would NOT recommend this hotel on the basis that you may end up with an outside room.
