Great location, room a good size and comfortable, very good restaurant. Much better than the 3 stars it has.
Car parking spaces tight. Bar quite expensive.
Das Hotel ist zentral gelegen, und hat genügend zwei eigene Parkplätze in der Nähe. Das Frühstücksangebot war gut, und zu empfehlen sind insbesondere das Essen im Hotelrestaurant.
Das Personal und das Management waren aufmerksam und sehr freundlich. Das Zimmer war hell und gross (im 3. Stock).
Leider war der Lift ausser Betrieb.
Lift wasn’t working and we were on the third floor in an airless shoe box despite the fan.
All of The Above and Barnstaple looks like it’s on its last legs, a barren high st, grubby and Graffitied.
The hotel is right in the middle of Barnstaple, and is the nicest place in the whole town! The bar was lovely and the cocktails very good. Everyone working there was friendly and especially the bar man, Ian. A really lovely hotel!
There wasn't much else in Barnstaple! We were there for an event, and I think we saw most of it in a weekend! The hotel was definitely the highlight!
everything

The hotel is lovely. The staff went "over and above" considering the lift problem. The lounge was so comfortable, so I was happy to use that

The lift was out of action and, although they managed to get us a 1st floor room the stairs were very narrow and steep. I have mobility issues. I only went up to the room once a day, which was not ideal.
bed was huge and comfortable
Breakfast was great
It was a little hot the room during our stay
Location, Location, Location.
The hotel is central to everything so no need to travel by car for most needs, the staff were polite and very helpful. They allow dogs for a minimal charge and the room service was amazing. The hotel is very nice and kept in good condition and the rooms are very spacious.
Sadly my biggest complaint was the fact you could hear everyone walking past as the floors are very creeky and with it being an old building it doesn't keep sound out well. This was hard when I believe the manager at night was dealing with the lift being broken and walking the entire time.
Super friendly staff, comfortable room, good breakfast.
2nd time staying. Very friendly staff. Comfortable rooms
Lovely hotel with a lot of history and charm.
