Barnstaple Vacation Rentals

"Sea view from my room"

"We had a lovely time here and would recommend. We had a one bed apartment for our family of 4 (3 and 5 year old) which was absolutely fine. The kitchen was well equipped and had a supermarket delivery which was super easy. Our only problem with the apartment is the shower was basically just a trickle! The grounds are lovely, the kids loved the peacocks and ducks! The play park was also really well looked after. They also loved flying down the hills on their scooters. The facilities are also lovely, especially the pool which is heated. There's also evening entertainment in the games room/bar. We all loved the magic show."

"Good selection for evening meal but breakfast seemed a bit pricey so didn’t have it"

"Hoops Inn is a lovely Grade II building with history. It has a lovely garden, although on a steep incline so may not be suitable for anyone with walking difficulty. The staff are very welcoming & helpful. Lovely freshly cooked breakfasts with good quality produce."

"A good two day break."

"The Hotel is conveniently located as it's a walking distance from town, walking distance from the Grand Western Canal and in close proximity to Fast food outlets and garages. That's an extra plus to the hotel as the walking distance encourages involuntary exercising, to the benefit of patrons' good holistic health and wellbeing. Back indoors, it's very quiet inside, allowing good resting and a good night's sleep. On waking up in the morning, one is greeted with an amazing buffet for breakfast, getting one ready for the day. The staff are great, one of the few unique places you still get a full package at check-in, ensuring that you are inducted to all the essentials. The restaurant and bar staff always give a service with a smile, and to specifications. For the kitchen staff, as it is said, "The taste of the pudding is in the eating". Though the patrons might not see you facially, you are seen in those succulent ribs and wings, just to mention my own favourite dish. You do an amazing job. Let me challenge the Hotel Management, all hotel staff and patrons by saying, if these premises were filthy noone would want to work there, let alone, be associated with Tiverton Hotel. Credit goes to all Housekeeping staff for making us want to come back again, again and again. Your service is second to none. I look forward to the re- opening/re-launching of Tiverton Hotel soon, after the renovations currently underway. Behind this successful team is, I believe, good management."

"Excellent spa facilities and treatment (and that view is never anything but amazing!)"

"Amazing stay for the Easter weekend. The staff were faultless, impecably trained, discrete and very effective. The property was in good condition. Food and service were amazing. Having stayed in hotels all over the world at all star ratings this hotel proves you can still deliver amazing service for a more reasonable price. One of few, anywhere i would return to. "

"First of all the positives. Lovely reception staff. Rooms were lovely and clean. Location perfect for our needs. Negatives, once you leave the reception and ground floor it is a very dated building. Our room was small but clean, issue glass screen in bathroom which you can’t move due to sink being in way so you cant get to the taps without climbing in the bath. I was woken around 2am by a really noisy butch of guests, not the hotels fault but could probably do with some sound proofing as the only reason I woke up was because it was so loud I thought they were in our room. Breakfast, lovely girls but didn’t ask us about allergies, showed us to table didn’t advise about cereals or juices. Asked if we wanted tea or coffee and took our breakfast order. How would I like my eggs? Pouched please! Received fried. No I didn’t complain as the lady sat next to us asked for boiled eggs and was told they don’t usually do them so would need to wait 10 minutes, when they arrived they were over cooked. The lady had also been woken by the other guests around 2am. Also restaurant was empty yet the lady and us were put right in a walk way where there seemed to be a lot of human traffic passing us. We did say something to reception on leaving and was offered to speak to a manger but I didn’t feel the need as the receptionist was lovely. Would we stay again, probably not."
