Very nice hotel, clean and good environment.I was with my husband and our 2 year old boy. Both pools are cool. It is a great option to go with kids as if the weather is not as nice you can still enjoy the inner pool, which is warm. Nice rooms and staff are very friendly. There is free parking and a buffet breakfast, which was delicious 😋
The 4-star Imperial Hotel is located in the centre of Barnstaple, overlooking the River Taw.

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 room was cosy and very comfortable. The breakfast was the best we have had in England. The location was fabulous and Penny and Mick were generous and thoughtful hosts.

The property was beautiful and clean, the hosts even left a book for every child based on their ages on the beds for them, we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better property or better hosts

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.
The hosts were so lovely and welcoming. They let us in the room way before 3pm and we just chilled and had a pint whilst they cleaned it. Great value for money. We ordered the breakfast and they also let my father in law come for the very cheap breakfast (cooked beautifully and again, great value for money) so that saved him a fortune as his hotel breakfast was very pricey. Wonderful fun pub to enjoy and felt well at home. Thanks for a fantastic trip to Barnstaple! Photo of the nearby Valley of the Rocks - well worth a walk there.
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
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!
Our room was spacious and comfortable. I ended up needing to work while I was there, and a comfy chair in a corner with two windows was a perfect place to do that. (I don't know that all rooms in the hotel are as spacious as the one we stayed in.) Staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast in the hotel restaurant was top notch, including their espresso offerings. There was a lot to like about the hotel itself.
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.
I stayed for one night at the Barnstaple Hotel. My room was comfortable and spacious, and the amenities were excellent. I found the staff to be welcoming, and although I didn’t have time to explore the pool and sauna area, I recommended the hotel to a relative who stayed there and very much enjoyed the sauna. There was ample parking available for my rental car, and the wifi worked wonderfully.
It was a breath of fresh air from the national hotel chains I stay at, all the facilities that you need were there at half the price, so why pay more. The reason why I found your hotel was because the hotel I was going to stay at rang me at the last moment to say they had overbooked my room, I will not be staying with them again as your hotel has everything I need.
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
Such a quiet and peaceful place to stay. Has everything that you would need. Felt very safe and comfortable and had a really relaxing time whilst I was working in Barnstaple. The host was very helpful and when I had a small issue with an appliance he came to see me and sort it personally, just a lovely touch!
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.
Room was extremely well equipped and comfortable. The establishment is very COVID aware. The staff are very friendly and helpful and make all guests feel very welcome. The location, with free parking, is perfect for the town centre.
