to get started.

The staff was very nice and the room was really cute and comfortable. We had a garden view with a little balcony overlooking the pool area.

The indoor pool is nice and the gym is well equipped, with saunas in the changing rooms. Room was clean and bed was comfy.

Tom, Belgium

All in all a very good stay. Friendly staff and great facilities. Would definitely stay again

Dominic, United Kingdom

behind the hotel is a pathway that follows the estuary. It is flat and even with beautiful views. turn left and walk into Barnstaple, turn right and walk to Braunton. the path is flat and even. it is suitable for wheelchair users. BEWARE of bikes on this pathway as there are a lot and some don't hang about.

The room was a little compact, and I wasn't too keen on having to walk through the indoor pool area just to get to my room. I wasn't a big fan of the motel style layout either - but that's just a personal preference.
The staff were very helpful and friendly and everything was clean and tidy.

Breakfast. Although the eggs were hot, sausages and bacon was cold. The price was quite high especially against the other places we stayed on our tour of Cornwall and Devon.
The bed was comfy. The dinner (special) was good value and pretty good. The staff were very nice and polite. The communal area were nicely decorated.

There wasn't really anything I didn't like...I wish I had been able to use the pool, it looked amazing, but it was too cold outside :-) Not their fault...
The staff was very nice and the room was really cute and comfortable. We had a garden view with a little balcony overlooking the pool area.

Breakfast at £10 pp felt too expensive ; window to the pool is right by the lounge area so people can se into the pool area (which felt a little uncomfortable) ; random guest taking photos of him and his wife at the pool while the sign said that photography was strictly prohibited
Outdoor pool and overall facilities were very nice; very quiet (but maybe we just went off peak periods..). Very powerful shower. Comfortable beds. Heard that the Sunday carvery is good but it was completely booked up

1) The refurbishment of the hotel since we last stayed has transformed the hotel into being like new from the moment you enter the reception area. 2) The old railway line close by is a nice way to walk into Barnstaple alongside the river. 3) We were served an excellent evening meal by the hotel.
