Well looked after, no lift to upper floor was a pain, and our room was right at the end of the building quite a hike, room was nice and had the usual facilities, balcony was a plus, shame no breakfast inc in room rate, asked and was told about £16 a head.. bit pricey when wife only eats porridge and toast, mc Donald’s again … pleasant stay and will use again 😀

Clean and tidy a little bit worn in areas. The hotel is lovely the only thing is it does not have a lift so if you struggle with mobility it’s a bit difficult, there are some ground floor rooms but not many. Staff can not be nicer and helpful. Recommend

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.

Dated hotel that reminds me of an old American motel or Butlins, really run down needs a big renovation, the bathrooms are vile and the towels are dirty and smell damp. The bedroom is basic and dull, dirty cups and spoons strange smell and no bottled water, it gives off a Butlins vibe when you look at it from the pool side, just really grimy I wouldn’t stay again even if the staff were nice, couldn’t wait to leave so left before 6:30am

Booked a pool view room (24) for my wife and her friend at extra cost but when she arrived the room was very noisy due to pool machinery. She complained and it wasnt possible to allocate another twin room and was told it would stop at 11pm but it didnt and they got very little sleep. Ruined the stay. Emailed hotel manager after got home but no response from the hotel which was disappointing

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.

Good hotel, comfy room, friendly helpful staff. However, I booked through hotels.com they wouldn't give me a receipt because I hadn't booked with them direct. Strange because I get a receipt everywhere else I book with hotels.com. My credit card statement shows that The Barnstaple Hotel had taken the money too! Just be aware if you are on a business trip and need a receipt for your expenses.

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
