Barnstaple Hotel Guide - Marwood Hill Gardens hotels in Barnstaple, United Kingdom.

"I have not stayed here for years and was surprised to see that its still a Brend Hotel ( family hotel). I went for breakfast and it was a traditional waiter service breakfast eg you are shown to a table, another waiter takes your order, you choose the items you want and its freshly cooked ( no food sitting under a heated light)"

"Staff were great"

"I found The Royal & Fortescue to be a lovely comfortable place to stay in the centre of Barnstaple very close to all amenities including the bus station which was so handy for getting to other near by attractions. The hotel is very clean and welcoming. We had a really nice relaxing stay and if in Barnstaple again would be more than happy to stay again."

"Good room very clean"

"We really enjoyed staying at the hotel. We had the attic room as we had booked late in the week and it proved to be very comfortable and great views. Owners are lovely and the breakfasts were delicious. It was your quintessential English hotel. Loved it. "

"I was away for work and my fiancees nan had passed away the day before my travel so she joined me for a few days on this trip. The first evening was lovely and sunny and we went and watched the sunset and had tea out, when returning to the cabin we found the other cabins were now hosting guests. We had a nice evening and went to sleep, we were then woken at 5am by the most horrific argument we had ever heard that went on for a full 90 minutes between the crack heads that had booked the other two cabins. We contacted the owner via email that lunch time and they did not respond until the next day. I then called the owner because i had left my fiancee at the cabin and she was scared of the people in the oter cabins as they kept walking passed out cabin and making awkward eye contact. The owner then responded and offered us 20% off a future stay this was poor as we would make sure we did not stay in any of this owners properties again. The cabin was in a lovely setting however the cobwebs all round the ceiling and the toenail clippers in the cupboard under the sink surrounded by what looked like mould were all features we would have rather not been left for us to find. The stench of weed for 3 days was not ideal either coming from the other cabins. I did not stay the full 4 nights i had booked as was extremely worried about staying there alone. OH AND THE MICROWAVE LOOKED LIKE IT HAD BEEN ON FIRE! The fire still had ash in from previous guests and the kettle was full of limescale"

"I like the stay"

"We travel to North Devon every year and normally stay in Woolacombe. However, this year we went with another family and this collage was perfect for us all. We did have a hiccup at the start which was completely out of the host's control and Mark was absolutley brilliant in sorting us out. The accommodation is lovely and Mark is very attentive. We particularly liked the snug and the large kitchen, which was well equipted, plus a washer and dryer (fabulous!). Outside you can wash out wetsuits and leave to dry. Actually, the rooms are bigger than they look in the photos and we all felt it was really homely. To cap off a great cottage, there is a wonderful pub within a 2 minute walk with nice food and a welcome glass of something cold. A great spot with only a 15 minute drive to Woolacombe Beach. Finally, we left a few raincoats when we checked out. Mark was really great in getting them back to us quickly :). Great stay!"
