The hotel felt like a little oasis of peace and calm in the town. Staff were helpful.

We like big old family-owned hotels that aren't part of a chain, and this one nearly meets all of those criteria (it's part of a small family chain). The room was fine, spacious, quiet, and accessed via long carpeted corridors. There was a good clean bathroom with all mod cons. But the real treats are downstairs: there's a lovely bar with table service, and the restaurant under its Grade 1 listed ceiling from 1620, was the highlight of our trip. It really is very good indeed, worth the detour as they say, and with excellent service. We really enjoyed staying here.
We couldn't open the window very wide.

Lift wasn’t working and we were on the third floor in an airless shoe box despite the fan.
All of The Above and Barnstaple looks like it’s on its last legs, a barren high st, grubby and Graffitied.
