"Average stay, good hotel, breakfast not so great"

The hotel was what you expect for a Premier Inn, the bed was comfortable, pillows were a little bit lumpy. But it was very good value. The hotel was all set up for a covid-safe experience. We booked in for the breakfast for the two mornings we were there. The first morning we were sat right by the kitchen and the music was blaring. We asked for this to be turned down and the staff obliged. The breakfast service was atrocious, this was clearly compounded by the lack of staff (a staff member commented someone had phoned in sick) and the waitress herself was pregnant and carrying massive trays of food. Our breakfasts came out at different times. We understood this wasn't the fault of the staff - but the restaurant clearly had not adjusted to Covid (despite having a few months to do so). The next morning was a bit smoother, we asked to sit in a different area and made our orders very clear! The food itself was not amazing, but it's a cheap breakfast.

"Weekend visit"

Despite being rushed off their feet as the premier inn was full, the staff were courteous and efficient Some customers were terribly impatient and rude as they had to wait a little longer due to the current restrictions but the staff kept calm and friendly The room was clean and priced well

"Great"

Nothing like some of the reviews I see. The receptionist offered me a change of room to ground floor when she noticed i had a foot injury good touch. The place felt very clean and covid friendly. I will return and recommend.

"Very poor food service"

Booked for a 2 night stay via a corporate travel agent. The overnight stay was fine, but breakfast was not. As per the Covid rules, breakfast was prebooked, and I chose 6.45am. At 7.05 I was still outside in the cold waiting to be seated, with 3 other people in front of me. The queue didn't move. There was no apology for keeping me waiting. In the end I had to give up as I was going to be late for work. Very poor service. I'm now doing a 12 hour NHS shift rather hungry.

"Weekend Family Trip to see a nearby event"

The location and room was fine and met what was expected. However, there is little about the room, the television and internet. I understand with the current situation around cleanliness etc, but believe a small magazines or pamphlet should be provided but inside cellophane, that would reduce any follow-on contact. I had massive problems with getting access to the internet, and kept getting pushed to upgrading to Premium Internet. Contacting an outside source by phone in the middle of the evening, is not what I expect to do.

Hotel description Golden sands or green fields? At the Premier Inn Hotel Barnstaple, you're spoilt for choice. You'll find five fab beaches and the wilds of Exmoor all just 30 minutes away. Ride the waves at surf meccas Woolacombe, Saunton Sands and Croyde, or hop aboard a donkey at the historic fishing village of Clovelly. Bargain hunt at Barnstaple's covered market, or hunt crabs off the quay at Appledore. After making a splash, return and refuel in our Table Table restaurant, spacious rooms and comfy beds.
