I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, enjoying the warm atmosphere and friendly interactions with the staff. The pools were a fantastic addition, ideal for both relaxation and family fun. However, the condition of the room left something to be desired, as it felt a bit outdated. While the breakfast was impressive, I felt that additional options for certain items would enhance the experience further.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the power shower was outstanding, really one of the best I've encountered, the dining options left much to be desired, especially with the bar food being quite basic. Moreover, I was disappointed that amenities like tea and coffee weren't replenished automatically. Overall, it felt like they missed the mark on some key service aspects but delivered well on the facilities.

Our stay was quite enjoyable, thanks to the delicious food and well-maintained pool facilities. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant experience, and the kids had a blast at the kids' club. The only downside was the loud seagulls and a rather weak shower, which did hinder our experience a bit.

Rooms

The hotel is conveniently located near a bowling alley and a skating rink, which was great for the kids. However, it's on the outskirts of Barnstaple, so while parking was easy, it felt a bit isolated.
