Barnstaple hotel

I was given one of the recently lovely refurbished rooms on the ground floor which was a double plus divan. The bath / shower room is modern and stylish, non slip floor, refillable Baylis & Harding toiletries, plenty of hot water with a rain shower and a hand held shower. Water saving sink tap and toilet flush. Stylish decor in the room, scandi design feel. adjustable bedside lights although main lights are a bit harsh. Adequate clothes hanging and storage for a short stay. Tea, coffee and milk tops ups are available. Adjacent pub / restaurant with pleasant ambiance, good drinks / wine selection and typical pub grub food t reasonable prices. All staff very welcoming and helpful. Big car park.

Great stay here. Vicky and the staff are all nice. Rooms have been refurbed and all clean and new. Nothing bad to say. This is our third stay and it’s always good

Comfortable, clean and well maintained rooms with adequate space to relax and make full use of the facilities after a full day in work. The staff are always helpful and make me feel welcome during my repeated visits as business trips. I genuinely couldn’t ask more.

Amazing location with amazing staff. Plenty of walk trails near by. Hotel was easy to find, plenty of signage. If there is any issues trying to find the place the staff is amazing and will lead you in the right direction. The atmosphere in the hotel is amazing the staff make it homely and you will have a good laugh and a joke with them. The rooms are cosy and probably one of the best premier inn I stayed at.

The hotel was undergoing a major refurbishment during our stay which we were informed about beforehand, we still decided to stay as it was a one night stop over for us. I agree with over previous reviews that yes the hotel was tired, shabby and in need of modernisation and refurbishment, our room did smell musty and our bin had not been emptied which contained lager cans which didn’t help the smell of stale lager wafting through the room. The bathroom did have mould in the corners and in the tile grouting which in my opinion can easily be removed with mould and mildew spray, so cleaners are responsible for this I’m guessing, unless they are not permitted to use such cleaning products which would solve the problem instantly imo. The best experience were the two lovely ladies on reception, they went above and beyond our expectations with their friendly presence and conversation, offering recommendations on various places of interest & restaurants ( even kindly wrote down a list of places for us, thank you ladies, sorry I forgot both your names) They explained about the refurb during check in too, it was a shame because if we had booked a few weeks later then my review would have been a 5 star, but deducted 1 star for unclean room and 1 star for general tired appearance of hotel. 5 star to the ladies though, they are usually the ones that guests moan to first.
