This is a nice little west country town on the estuary of the Taw river, with easy access (by car) to surfing beaches of Croyde and Woolacombe bay, and to Exmoor for hiking.
It's easy to get around the town on foot. Bike rental is available for going farther afield.
There are some excellent restaurants, notably Tiffins (Indian).
There is an amusing museum with local information and artifacts .

Although not itself overly picturesque, it has excellent bus services to many places that are - Westward Ho, Ilfracombe, Bideford, Lynmouth and even Minehead! More should be made of these in publicity, don't assume everyone has a car.

I lead other cyclists on the Devon Coast to Coast cycle Trail , & Barnstaple is near the start or finish depending on whether you are going south or north. I normally go to the Hunters Lodge just south of Barnstaple they are excellent but they were full at the time.
Tarka Trail , Grit stone path, Drakes Trail etc

Barnstaple is a charming town with a good range of architecture but particularly after dark the town is full of beggars, drunks, drug addicts giving the town a very unsafe and grubby feel. The Police and Council appear to have given up on improving the social environment and this probably impacts on the town’s tourist industry.

I haven't been to Barnstaple for a few years and was a bit disappointed as most of the old shops had gone you could have been anywhere, it's individuality had gone. If you haven't been before it is a lovely old town and has all the facilities that you could want.

The hotel and the food ere excellent
The staff were friendly helpful polite and very attentive. Breakfast was amazing and dinner was excellent choices. We ate there for our whole stay. Very reasonable prices too. The pool and the gym were greatwe were lucky with the weather so were able tobe outdoors for most of our stay
The hosts were so lovely and welcoming. They let us in the room way before 3pm and we just chilled and had a pint whilst they cleaned it. Great value for money. We ordered the breakfast and they also let my father in law come for the very cheap breakfast (cooked beautifully and again, great value for money) so that saved him a fortune as his hotel breakfast was very pricey. Wonderful fun pub to enjoy and felt well at home. Thanks for a fantastic trip to Barnstaple! Photo of the nearby Valley of the Rocks - well worth a walk there.
Lovely place to stay, our hosts were very welcoming, happy to help us with whatever we needed. Welcome pack provided including trout from the farm. Set in beautiful countryside with a stream running right past the cottage. Good location for Barnstaple and surrounding area. The cottage was very well equipped with everything we needed in the kitchen and other things like board games and books. We also used the sauna, which was great after a rather wet day out and a fun addition to the cottage. We didn't want to leave!
The hotel was easy to find and I was most impressed with the breakfast bag and the lovely gluten free crumpets and the other items which were gluten free. I did not tell you until I arrived that I was gluten free so it was wonderful to have these
hot crumpets for my breakfast. The room was beautifully clean and the bed very comfortable, I was visiting my sister but
she does not have room for me to stay over night so the hotel was ideal. Many thanks.
Lovely place with beautiful gardens and green fields as far as the eyes can see.
The barn was a nice size plenty of room.
Very big cosy bed with a good thick duvet.
Kitchen was just absolutely incredible. Looks like a cudbored but you open it up and its a full kitchen unit. Very impressive all round
Such a lovely place to stay quiet and peaceful.
Definitely off the beaten track and down a few small lanes.
Thank you so much really enjoy our stay
Lovely, spacious self catering cottage in a beautiful, rural location - yet close to Barnstaple. Great to explore North Devon in any direction. We had our own parking area, patio and large garden. The cottage was very well equipped, comfortable and clean. Our friendly host, living in the main house, was on hand but all was fine and we had no need to put him to the test! Peace and quiet, gorgeous countryside, fabulous!
The interior decor was outstanding. The host were friendly, chatty without being intrusive. The breakfast was a wonderful surprise having a hint of the full English but refreshing light and with plenty of other fare for those with a different palate. Next time we travel to the Barnstaple area 22 will be the prefer place to stay.
Comfortable, cosy, convenient location for a family wedding in Barnstaple and reception in Swimbridge. Pleasant surroundings.
Good size fridge and freezer, efficient hot water, good shower, double bedroom had en-suite loo & washbasin, dog friendly accommodation, with excellent dog exercise area.
The location in the center was great plus they have parking. The interior of the hotel is lovely very welcoming and there’s the hotel bar plus a cocktail bar and restaurant which we have to say the food was fantastic.
The hotel cancelled our booking due to having to close the hotel due to an issue with the electrical systems. We were put up in their sister hotel the Fotsque in the town centre. I would be happy to review that hotel
The rooms was comfortable and had everything needed. Breakfast was buffet style and had a good range of food. The hotel is in the centre of Barnstaple, so is convenient for visiting the town.
Beautiful location. Sent my daughter here for her birthday and she was so pleased with everything including the Partridge on the menu that she'd never tried before. Great staff, and service.
location was convenient for Barnstaple town center and not too far from the other place we had to visit.
staff were very pleasant and helpful.
plenty of easy parking close.
Excellent accommodation and parking. All the staff were well trained, very friendly and helpful. The hotel was located only a 5 minute walk from the town centre.
Cute and comfortable accomodation in Barnstaple. Simonne and Kim were very personable and accomodating hosts. Great breakfast and welcome hot tub after trekking.
Cosy inside, thick carpet in bedrooms, large dining table to work at, close to Barnstaple. There was a problem with the bathroom light which was fixed quickly.
