We will book again.
Lovely hotel, really clean & wonderful breakfasts. I would have given 5 stars if we had not have been in a room overlooking the rear lane, which was used by noisy pedestrians late at night, & dustbin lorry early morning. Free pass to The Barnstaple Hotel pool really appreciated, thank you.
