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.
Food was great and breakfast was plentiful.
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.

Location 10 minutes drive into the town centre. Plenty of free parking. Nice quiet rooms in a courtyard setting. If you have mobility difficulties please ask for a downstairs room with shower. I didn’t ask and first room allocated was up steep steps and had a bath. Receptionist quickly found me a more suitable room. Restaurant was in a lovely conservatory. Menu had a good selection with 20% off for residents. Everything we ate there was very good. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.

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 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.
Lovely place with beautiful gardens and green fields as far as the eyes can see.
The barn was a nice size plenty of room.
Very big cosy bed with a good thick duvet.
Kitchen was just absolutely incredible. Looks like a cudbored but you open it up and its a full kitchen unit. Very impressive all round
Such a lovely place to stay quiet and peaceful.
Definitely off the beaten track and down a few small lanes.
Thank you so much really enjoy our stay
We were upgraded to a more spacious room, which was clean and well appointed, the bed was very good but a bit to soft. The staff in the hotel were friendly and efficient. Location is very handy for the town. The car parks are a bit tricky, especially with work taking place in one. I think this is to be expected for a town centre location. On the whole it is a lovely old grand hotel, with character.
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 hotel is customer friendly. Friendly staff. Food. Pool. Good Atmosphere in hotel. Smart decor throughout.
Initiative my case was taken to my room when it was ready. Restaurant staff remembered I needed GF and oat milk. I needed a computer shop as laptop failed. Staff recommended a place in Barnstaple.
Room was cleaned.
Excellent breakfast with wide choice and flexibility. Excellent evening meal. Convenient location for centre of Barnstaple. Free car parking. Comfortable bed. Very clean room and hotel in general. Pleasing decor and plenty of comfortable seating in public areas. Friendly, helpful staff.

Animals were interesting.
It was convenient for where we wanted to go in Barnstaple
No 22 was a wonderful place to stay. Jane was so friendly and welcoming. The room and en-suite were absolutely beautiful! So much more boutique hotel than B & B. A totally pampering experience.
