#### Built by the Victorians over 150 years ago, this charming marketplace is still open for business, with craft, antiques and fresh produce on offer. 

Browse the numerous stalls of the Pannier Market and find different traders every day. Admire the historical building, including the arched wooden beams of the ceiling, and stop for lunch or a drink at the cafés.

Barnstaple has been a major market town of North Devon since Saxon times. Different markets were originally held in the town streets. The Pannier Market and adjacent Butchers Row were built in 1855 to encourage trade in the area, while reducing the congestion that followed it. Notice the impressive Victorian architecture of the building, with a glass and timber roof supported by iron pillars.

A large number of traders share the space, which means you can browse different stalls each day. Visit the General Markets for a selection of local produce, clothing and books. At the Craft and General Markets you’ll also find assorted local crafts, fabrics and more. See the Antiques and Collectables Markets for toys, films and antiques. Try the cafés for a light lunch or a quick drink.

Visit Butcher’s Row, which runs parallel to the market and was built at the same time. Admire these picturesque stores, which have maintained their Victorian designs even today. Originally built as 33 butcher’s shops, they have since diversified to include an assortment of shops while maintaining their focus on local goods.

The Pannier Market is located in Barnstaple’s town center, just a short walk from the train and bus stations. Parking is available at nearby lots. The market hosts differing events throughout the year, such as the North Devon Beer Festival, which is usually held in May. The general markets are open on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Craft markets are open on Mondays from April to Christmas and Thursdays year-round. Antiques and Collectables are open on Wednesdays. Individual stores vary day to day and the marketplace is closed on Sundays.

8.4/10 Very Good! (372 reviews)

A grand hotel building set on a picturesque estate with very good parking. It is set quite of the beaten path and the lane leading to the car park area was quite bumpy, dirty and replete with potholes. The hotel is part of the Sure Collection which is Best Western's premier line. The décor was a little tired, especially the carpeting in the corridors, some of which seemed to have been cleaned but only on the main walkway areas. The room was nice and spacious as was the bathroom. The shower took a while to warm up but was enjoyable. Breakfast was the highlight of the stay with a friendly and enthusiastic member of staff who took my order for a cooked breakfast which was as well cooked as I have had for a very long time and got my day off to the best start.

8/10 Very Good! (881 reviews)

We stayed two weekends, 23rd and 30th The staff were very good at their job. When we were staying above incredibly volatile and inebriated guests on the first weekend, it was dealt with quickly. Unfortunately the next night another guest set off the fire alarm at 1am. The second weekend was faultless- thoughtful guests same excellent staff Clientelle interesting, staff incredibly professional and kind. Under refurb, so slightly odd vibe, the price was very good because of it. Close to beautiful countryside, Tors, Buckfast etc Not into pubs but there is one right next door for those who like pub grub and booze- we didnt try it Location secluded yet convenient
