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
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.
Bert was the perfect host, we had a cuppa in our hands within 5 minutes and an offer of some roast dinner too 🥰
The room was perfect as was the location. Literally 10 minutes from the town centre.
It very much felt like a home from home and everything was so chilled and relaxed, exactly what we were looking for during our stay. Much more personable than staying at a branded chain of hotels and very good value for money.
Not only would we highly recommend, we will definitely be coming back later in the year 👍🏻
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
Great location and very efficient friendly staff. We did choose to pay for an upgraded room to enjoy the view of the river Taw and Barnstaple bridge as when I made the original booking I'd forgotten the hotel backs onto a dark street that can be noisy late at night.
Fabulous flower arrangement in reception and a very nice room, in my opinion the best hotel option in Barnstaple itself.
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
Such a quiet and peaceful place to stay. Has everything that you would need. Felt very safe and comfortable and had a really relaxing time whilst I was working in Barnstaple. The host was very helpful and when I had a small issue with an appliance he came to see me and sort it personally, just a lovely touch!
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.
Room was extremely well equipped and comfortable. The establishment is very COVID aware. The staff are very friendly and helpful and make all guests feel very welcome. The location, with free parking, is perfect for the town centre.
