We stayed in Garden Court, lovely building. The grounds were so well kept. Loved being able to open the windows wide.
Set in 3 acres of beautiful grounds, Cedars Inn features a conservatory restaurant and free parking. The inn is situated just outside Barnstable, a 20-minute drive from Exmoor National Park.

Firstly, the extensive well kept grounds and gardens in country surroundings.The friendly and attentive staff throughout the hotel were very helpful and always cheerful.
The room (no: 7) was extremely spacious and comfortable in a separate attractive block and close to the car park.
The large dining room was very pleasant, the food was wonderful, both breakfast and evening dinners were superb, we ate there all three nights of our stay.
We could see why it is a lovely wedding venue.
Set in Barnstaple, 16 km from Lundy Island and 16 km from Royal North Devon Golf Club, No 22 offers accommodation with free WiFi in a historic building.

Great location, a short drive a few minutes from the local, superb pub (Black Venus Inn), a bit too hilly to walk after recovering from major surgery! Dogs allowed, the hosts and children came out and made a fuss of our 1yr old malinois puppy and she loved staying on the farm as well. There's lots of good walks around the area (best follow all-trails app) and really superb facilities, which all looked very new and fresh? The welcome pack has some really good quality stuff, including coffee pods and cookies, etc.
It was a lovely period home. A bit away from the major sites but this was reflected in the cost. Clean and welcoming. Continental breakfast provided which was adequate but not outstanding. Was on a busy road so woke quite early.

Quiet location inland -but ideal for exploring North Devon coast
Nice breakfast, but fairly limited options
Plent of places to eat nearby -either in Barnstaple or country pubs -the B&B owner advised us of one good place to eat

This is a picturesque and idyllic part of Devon.
This is a picturesque and idyllic part of Devon. It's a pleasant location, surrounded by beautiful countryside with good views all round. The accommodation itself is just like being at home, very comfortable and cozy.
The gentleman at reception was very welcoming despite our late arrival in the dark. The room was clean and comfortable, with a perfect ambient temperature when we got in. There is plenty of tea & coffee available with milk and biscuits! The shower was brilliant, great water pressure and temp, but can be a little slippery getting out.
My favorite was the breakfast, full english along with toast, cereal and yogurt if you want it. All in all an enjoyable stay. Finally, I must mention the very helpful driving directions supplied by the owner when I booked; do read them, much better than relying on sat nav.
One word of caution, do be prepared to drive extra carefully. The roads around this venue are very narrow with lots of twists and turns. Stoke Rivers is located way out in the countryside. But well worth the journey once you're there :-)

Blissfully quiet. Lovely countryside.
Blissfully quiet. Lovely countryside. The weather was dreadful (as it was all over the country) so we didn’t see much of Stoke Rivers unfortunately. Would love to go back and investigate the local area in better weather.

Excellent value, never stayed in a better b&b.
Excellent value, never stayed in a better b&b. Robert and Nikki are always happy to recommend local walks. Last time we stayed they recommended a lovely local pub to eat. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else when we visit Barnstaple.
Stoke House is a model B&B, well appointed, spotlessly clean and freindly hosts. Breakfast was excellent, especially compared to the breakfast bars of budget hotels. Set in beautiful Devon countryside with good local pubs.
