This is the second time I've stayed at this hotel. The facilities are spotless. The bar and restaurant area are really big. My mother uses a walking trolley to mobilise and all areas were accessible with no steps to negotiate.We had breakfast and evening meals and the food was of a high standard with a good choice of menu options.The staff were lovely, professional and friendly.The rooms are comfortable with the usual tea, coffee etc. The TV is large which is a plus.The hotel is located by a park and the river and walking distance to Barnstaple centre.Parking is plentiful.

We stayed three nights in October and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The rooms are clean and fresh and the beds are really comfy. The breakfsast is great and all evening meals were great, lots of choice for vegetarians. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There is secure garage parking for motorcycles which is great.

Can only say all the brilliant reviews are fully deserved. This hotel is so close to 5 star that it doesn't really matter. My only criticism is that the balcony to our room was not cleaned during our stay despite reporting cigarette stubs and other detritus under the table. For this reason alone I have marked them down on cleanliness.

This is my type of hotel, Chrome and glass, all spotlessly clean. Ample car parking space. Friendly and welcoming staff in all departments. Bedrooms well serviced and fitted out. Varied menu daily which is excellent value. You do not leave here hungry.|| Thoroughly enjoyed the five days we stayed here.
