Everything was top notch: the location, the friendly staff and the comfortable rooms. Breakfast was great. The swimming pool and sauna at the associated Barnstaple Hotel was clean and just a short walk by the river to get to.
Located opposite Rock Park and only a short level walk to the town center, this modern 4-star hotel offers easy access to the countryside and beaches of North Devon.

Very welcoming, great food. I asked the young lady on reception if there was any way I could print off some paperwork for work as I'd left mine back home in Newcastle upon tyne and she was very helpful and printed my paperwork for me.

Fabulous chefs produced 7 course taster evening meal and wonderful again chef prepared breakfast, amazing flavours and absolutely coordinated and balanced tasty servings over a large number of locally sourced products. Service was friendly and knowledgeable and professional throughout our stay. We felt everything was made to happen very specially just for us, a wonderful experience and a culinary delight.

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
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!
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
We were running very late from London and the hosts were brilliant to accommodate us! We felt really welcoming and at ease right away. We loved everything about our stay. Such a cosy and comfortable place with a beautiful garden !! The amazing hosts and the place has a great warmth to say the least. It felt like a home away from home 😊 !! We highly recommend and would love to stay again on our next visit to Barnstaple !!
It wasn’t clear I was staying with Burt from the listing but not an issue as I was told to make myself at home, I was even offered Sunday lunch. It was at the top of my budget but amongst the cheapest rooms in Barnstaple within a 15 minute walk. The room was cosy, warm and nicely decorated with access to Sky TV. Mattress and bedding was very comfortable. Great kitchen and range saved me on meals out.
This is a really comfortable, cosy hotel, with an excellent location – close to the town centre, but with green views over the park. The building has lots of personality, and feels somewhere between a home and a hotel. The bed was very comfortable, wifi was fast and reliable, the staff were friendly, and the inclusion of a full cooked breakfast was excellent. Strongly recommended!
Contemporary and clean the room had a great view of Rock Park. Location is ideal for a walk into town. We had visited and stayed at the hotel 3 years ago and were very happy and now it had been updated so was even better. Barnstaple shops were largely unaffected from closure which is a problem in our area. Dining experience was wonderful and staff were attentive and cheerful.
The features and decor of our room was of a very high standard, the pictures do not do it justice.
Just a short walk from Barnstaple town centre
We were made to feel very welcome.
Good breakfast rounded our stay off - could not fault anything. I will definitely recommend No22 to anyone wanting to stay in the Barnstaple area
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.
Great location very close to Barnstaple. Lovely views. Very well equipped cottage. The hosts had thought of all the essential needs, including gin glasses. The welcome hamper was appreciated and the fudge was excellent. Highly recommended and would happily stay again.
The views overlooking the estuary of the Taw and the sunsets were a delight. Easy access to shopping in Barnstaple was useful. Instructions on how to gain the keys good. The apartment was comfortable and well equipped. We had great short break.
