    The breakfast was tasty, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The guy serving breakfast even knew about the coats of arms in the old bank on the ceiling, which impressed me. Housekeeping was exceptional, and both the cooked and continental breakfasts were plentiful and of good quality. The lounge bar had a lovely menu for lunch.

    Felt right at home, no complaints.

    The hotel's location in the heart of Barnstaple was perfect as it allowed me to easily explore the town and visit the nearby bus and railway stations. Additionally, the staff were friendly and provided excellent service. The rooms were comfortable and well-maintained, and the building itself had a lovely charm to it.

    One small issue arose with the breakfast, which could be improved.
