Lovely hotel
Great little hotel, nestled by the river in Barnstaple. Staff were fab and couldn’t do enough for you. Had a very homely feel and was very cosy. Food awesome! Rooms clean and tidy but no air con so had to have the window open then was woken by bin men at 7am. Certainly not the hotels fault! Overall, very much looking forward to staying there again…

10/10 Exceptional

I particularly liked the variety of lounges of different sizes with good views as overlooking the river. The location was especially convenient for river walks and public transport yet at the same time quiet.

The location was superb. The River Taw is literally across the road, as is the excellent Barnstaple museum. The room was beautiful and the public areas are smart
