I've stayed in 11 B&B's as part of my walk so far and this was the best. I was greeted by Byran who proved to be the perfect host. My single en suite room was a good size,spotless with a great shower. The contemporary decor fits well in what is a grand old house. Fresh milk and cakes added further... More

We really liked this B&B and the warm and friendly welcome we received from our hosts Sandi & Bryan. We were in room 1, a huge room with a big window overlooking the garden, a comfy king size bed and a large bathroom with a full size bath as well as a shower cubicle. Breakfasts were delicious, particularly the fresh... More

My very discerning friend & I stayed here whilst enjoying an evening at the Queens Theatre in Barnstaple. How lovely just to walk to the theatre. The room was absolutely spotless and soooooooooo comfortable. The beds so comfy and the bed linen superb. Our en-suite was not a cut out in the corner but a separate bathroom accessed off our...

You approach this B&B down a narrow one-way street and the entrance is unremarkable, but a great hideaway awaits beyond. The rooms are being renovated one-by-one by the new owners and they took our breath away. Two individual sleeping areas in the family suite, tastefully decorated to modern standards. You get a slice of homemade cake and a thermos of... More

We had time to look around Barnstaple and surrounding areas by staying for one week in this lovely house. We don't have a car and needed to reach north Devon by train so Barnstaple was an ideal location. Talking about location, the bus station was only minutes away from The Old Vicarage and we were able to visit many places... More

What a wonderful place. We stayed as a group of 4 for an overnight stay during a 3 day cycle ride. Although it is not far from the centre you would not think so as it was a very quiet location. We felt very welcomed, the cycles were immediately placed in a safe location. The room was arranged with obvious... More

We booked the old vicarage at fairly short notice, and although we only stayed for one night, left feeling well pleased. On arrival a change of room to meet our personal preference along with some home made cake and a flask of milk for hot drinks. The rooms had been recently decorated and were very welcoming. An excellent breakfast. Our... More

I had a one night stay in The Old Vicarage on a work trip to Devon. Slightly out of the centre of Barnstaple (a pleasant 5 minute walk to the shops/pubs etc.) but easy to find and nice and quiet. The room was huge as was the en suite, the bed was comfy and the breakfast was tasty and filling.I... More
