5/5 Excellent
"I cant fault just so nice. "
A verified traveller stayed at The Barnstaple Hotel
"Quiet, spaceous room which was very clean. The pub served delicious food and there is a fabulous little cafe next door. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back when visiting family again. Exceptional value for money with a good breakfast included.
Only slight niggle is that the pillows were thin and not supportive. One is not enough and two is too much. Perhaps they could invest in firmer support pillows and the score for this hidden gem would be 10/10."
"Another visit to The Park and it is still a great experience. The park view room was lovely. The staff were all friendly and courteous. The meals we had in the Seasons restaurant were perfectly cooked, nothing was too much trouble and the food was hot to the last mouthful. A great team of staff. "
"It was a lovely comfy room, easy to get to from the car park. Lovely and clean ensuite. The restaurant staff went above and beyond to help find meals that didn't contain my unusual allergies, and the food was absolutely lovely for dinner.
Breakfast was a nice relaxed meal, although some patrons seemed to expect silver service and for their cooked breakfast to arrive in less time than it might take to prepare at home! It just goes to show that you can't please all of the people all of the time. All the staff were polite and appropriately friendly as well as approachable. It was a lovely stay, and I would recommend this quiet place for solo travellers like me, or couples. Such a lovely stay."
