Room was great and quirky to say the least but very nice, bathroom was ok but not on the same level as the room itself.

The town is easy to get around and has plenty of places to eat. Sadly the River Taw looks very polluted with brown foam floating down it, which gives the town a rather dilapidated feel.
Otherwise a pleasant [place to stay

Barnstaple is a great base for touring north Devon.
Barnstaple is a great base for touring north Devon. There are good link roads that take you through to north Cornwall and the whole of north Devon. Don’t like driving the bus service is excellent although when it’s busy there are slight delays just allow yourselves the time for this. Barnstaple is a lovely town with lots a shops and some are Independant. We are looking to move to the area to be nearer our daughter

This is a nice little west country town on the estuary of the Taw river, with easy access (by car) to surfing beaches of Croyde and Woolacombe bay, and to Exmoor for hiking.
It's easy to get around the town on foot. Bike rental is available for going farther afield.
There are some excellent restaurants, notably Tiffins (Indian).
There is an amusing museum with local information and artifacts .

Although not itself overly picturesque, it has excellent bus services to many places that are - Westward Ho, Ilfracombe, Bideford, Lynmouth and even Minehead! More should be made of these in publicity, don't assume everyone has a car.

I lead other cyclists on the Devon Coast to Coast cycle Trail , & Barnstaple is near the start or finish depending on whether you are going south or north. I normally go to the Hunters Lodge just south of Barnstaple they are excellent but they were full at the time.
Tarka Trail , Grit stone path, Drakes Trail etc

Barnstaple is a charming town with a good range of...
Barnstaple is a charming town with a good range of architecture but particularly after dark the town is full of beggars, drunks, drug addicts giving the town a very unsafe and grubby feel. The Police and Council appear to have given up on improving the social environment and this probably impacts on the town’s tourist industry.
The hotel was easy to find and I was most impressed with the breakfast bag and the lovely gluten free crumpets and the other items which were gluten free. I did not tell you until I arrived that I was gluten free so it was wonderful to have these
hot crumpets for my breakfast. The room was beautifully clean and the bed very comfortable, I was visiting my sister but
she does not have room for me to stay over night so the hotel was ideal. Many thanks.
Quirky secluded stay down a well-kept and very well lit track from the carpark. The instructions were excellent, the key, a torch, etc, all very accessible and the guest's needs really thought about. Wonderful! The cottage is tucked away in beautiful, interesting woodland with the sound of the stream below. Gorgeous location. The accommodation is exceptionally well equipped with everything you need. /the area is lovely too. Highly recommended!
It wasn’t clear I was staying with Burt from the listing but not an issue as I was told to make myself at home, I was even offered Sunday lunch. It was at the top of my budget but amongst the cheapest rooms in Barnstaple within a 15 minute walk. The room was cosy, warm and nicely decorated with access to Sky TV. Mattress and bedding was very comfortable. Great kitchen and range saved me on meals out.
Very nice hotel.
Excellent room in the Garden Apartments. Advertised as a small room but actually a good size and a nice, big bathroom.
Very comfortable bed, very good nights' sleep.
All facilities there including Sky TV.
Car parking right outside room.
Room cleaned and made-up really well.
Very close to town centre (5-10 mins walk).
Staff all very friendly and helpful.
Clean , modern room .
Complementary tea/coffee.. soap / shampoo.
Lovely hosts. And a bargain breakfast.
Great location for town centre / theater , just a couple of minutes walk away
Public Carpark behind with a parking app so easy to top up carparking if needed . Only £13 for 24hrs or free after 6pm until 8am
Over all Well worth the money .
Clean and well-appointed. Tastefully modernised maintaining the cosy cottage appeal. Bed and living room sofa very comfortable. Nice to have a back patio. Good location for Barnstaple and exploring the area. I was delighted how convenient for non-car users like us it was with the local, regular bus service outside the door. Loved our stay!
The features and decor of our room was of a very high standard, the pictures do not do it justice.
Just a short walk from Barnstaple town centre
We were made to feel very welcome.
Good breakfast rounded our stay off - could not fault anything. I will definitely recommend No22 to anyone wanting to stay in the Barnstaple area

Good size fridge and freezer, efficient hot water, good shower, double bedroom had en-suite loo & washbasin, dog friendly accommodation, with excellent dog exercise area.
The views overlooking the estuary of the Taw and the sunsets were a delight. Easy access to shopping in Barnstaple was useful. Instructions on how to gain the keys good. The apartment was comfortable and well equipped. We had great short break.
Everything was top notch: the location, the friendly staff and the comfortable rooms. Breakfast was great. The swimming pool and sauna at the associated Barnstaple Hotel was clean and just a short walk by the river to get to.
The hotel is very nice although more expensive than most in the area due to the facilities it offers. However, having paid extra it appears it can withdraw facilities whenever it chooses and without communication.
The breakfast was consistently good. Staff were very efficient, helpful and friendly Hotel location was perfect for walking into Barnstaple and for getting to all the good beaches. Parking is good.
Beautiful location. Sent my daughter here for her birthday and she was so pleased with everything including the Partridge on the menu that she'd never tried before. Great staff, and service.
location was convenient for Barnstaple town center and not too far from the other place we had to visit.
staff were very pleasant and helpful.
plenty of easy parking close.
Good location and the public areas of the hotel are good. The breakfast was good and we ate in the restaurant for dinner and although a little expensive it was good
