Good value for money and nice relaxed atmosphere. Popular spot.
Pros:

Breakfast was good, with good service and food choice. Room big clean tidy slight problem with flushing WC.
Dinner was good, reasonable choice of drink and food with very pleasant hard working staff.

Cons:

bar was a bit understaffed at busy times, which made for some interesting results of orders, but they had been working hard.

Nice place all in all but won't be returning with my dog
Pros:

Location and rooms are great

Cons:

Not as dog friendly as it was when I visited in April
Dogs no longer allowed in the breakfast room or restaurant, therefore relegated to the Pub which wasnt very nice. We then had to move away from the toilets because of the stench

This was a pleasant place to stay and I would be happy to return.
Pros:

The room was lovely and big with a nice comfy bed.

Cons:

There was a window in the slipped roof. It was difficult to open (it was very warm on arrival and needed to be aired) but I was then unable to close it properly. I asked a staff member to close it for me before I went to bed.

Good place to stay with friendly and helpful staff
Pros:

It felt nice on arrival with people enjoying a drink in the sunshine under coloured umbrellas. Our room was large with a sitting area with a flat screen tv as well as the sleeping area. Green King Inns follow a formula what differentiates the is who is running the individual Inn and the staff working in them . We found all the staff we encountered friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Whilst comfortable rooms are a bit tired looking

Pros:

Our room facilities were lovely and the bed was comfortable.

Cons:

Dinner service was terrible. Meal was very average, portions were smaller than expected.
Our room was very stuffy and needed air circulation so we opened the window and propped the door open.

Hospitable and calming place in the middle of Barnstaple.
Pros:

The hotel was really busy but the service in the restaurant was very good. The premises were quite noisy but because the rooms are set apart they were very quiet. It was a perfect much needed respite.

Cons:

I didn’t like that some customers took advantage of the hospitality and left their rubbish.
