Having previoulsy lived in the area for a number of years I always drove past the hotel thinking "what an odd looking place" I had to rush down at the last minute recently, arriving at 5am which didn't pose a problem at all. I was staying due to my son being rushed into hospital. The staff were helpful and extremely... more

Ignore the location and enjoy the hotel. The food was excellent with a good choice including a wonderful carvery on the Sunday. The bedrooms were spacious, with very good bathrooms. The staff were very attentive and pleasant. Barnstaple is a good base for seeing the north coast. excellent value for money more

One of my older colleagues recalled the image of 'Crossroads Motel'. Having never had the motel experience I can't say but unless this was the last place with rooms and I was tired and unable to drive further then I would recommend looking elsewhere. it has no attractions. It is not pleasant to be in and the staff while functional... more

We spent a night here for the pool. What you actually get is rather a suprise. The staff are interested, the place is clean, and the food in the restaurant is very good. had long talk with restaurant manager who cares about her work. the owners do spot checks which shows in the quality of wine list, quality of ingredients,... more

We upgraded to executive room as we wanted something special however the room was very tired looking and we were told the executive rooms had... more

Good size indoor and outdoor pools and fitness facilities. Bar... more

I went with a friend to a wedding and stayed for one night. On arrival the outside off the hotel doesn`t look very appealling, especially with it being on an industrial estate. However once we were inside I was pleasantly suprised. The wedding reception was most enjoyable, the room well layed out and the food was very good. Staff were... more

Stayed at the Barnstaple Hotel last month, a 2 night stay paying £40 per person for dinner bed & breakfast. The hotel is situated outside of Barnstaple on the road leading to the coast - Saunton & Croyde are only short car trips away. The hotel rooms are motel style but are clean, spacious enough & well furnished. The usual... more

Comfortable room on first floor overlooking outdoor pool. Warm indoor pool and well-equipped cardio exercise room. Staff friendly and genuinely wanting to please. First-class evening meal and breakfast with lychees and figs. An excellent hotel and I will be staying there again. Would definitely recommend it. more
