We will be coming back next year. A great independent hotel that clearly wanted to ensure that your stay was special. Outdoor and Indoor heated pool! Very family friendly! It has personality.

Nice hotel within 15 minutes walk to the town centre. We had a room overlooking the outside pool, it was clean and nicely furnished. We didn’t use the indoor pool as there were quite a few children in there ( it was Easter holidays so this was to be expected) however my husband used the gym and was very impressed with the facilities. Would book again

We had a fabulous stay at the Barnstable Hotel, all of the staff we encountered were friendly, welcoming and accommodating at all times. The hotel was comfortable and the facilities were all excellent. The breakfasts were fabulous a great choice for all guests including a specials choice for those that wanted it. The restaurant was also great in the evening and the food was excellent and a great selection for children. We would definitely stay here again

We had a lovely family stay on Saturday night. The room was clean, spacey and had a cot ready for us. The pool was very warm and my baby had lots of fun swimming. Husband enjoyed the gym and bar and all encounters with staff were pleasant, would definitely stay again.

Great for families but we found the constant shouting and running upsetting especially as I have limited mobility and was worried about being bowled over. During the day the fast noisy running outside of our otherwise lovely room, was pretty constant. Parents joined in rather than quietened or made their offspring walk! Lovely hotel, guest management needs massive attention.

Nice welcome, great indoor pool and nice having free drinks and ice cream for children. Walked into the centre of Barnstaple which took 10 mins at a quick pace

Visiting family this was our 2nd stay at The Barnstaple Hotel and would highly recommend it. My son and granddaughter were able to use the pool facilities with us which is always a bonus
