The Barnstaple Hotel - A 3-star hotel with an outdoor pool, fitness suite, and proximity to North Devon attractions

The Barnstaple Hotel offers 62 well-appointed rooms, some overlooking the outdoor swimming pool, with options for double, twin, or family accommodations. Ground-floor rooms provide garden and pool views, while first-floor rooms lack lift access but feature air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and tea/coffee facilities. Guests can dine at the on-site restaurant, which serves British cuisine with locally sourced ingredients, or enjoy a game room with foosball and pool tables. The hotel includes a hi-tech fitness suite with over 50 pieces of equipment, indoor and outdoor heated pools, and cold-water swimming from October to April. Located 3 km from Barnstaple, The Barnstaple Hotel is near attractions like The Pannier Market (2 km) and Exmoor Zoo, home to the UK's only black leopards.

Pros

The outdoor pool is heated to 31°C from May to September, with adjacent sun loungers and manicured lawns.

First-floor rooms offer garden and pool views, enhancing the holiday atmosphere.

The game room features foosball, air hockey, and a pool table for entertainment.

The fitness suite includes treadmills, rowing machines, and free weights for varied workouts.

Cons

First-floor rooms lack lift access, which may inconvenience guests with mobility concerns.

The outdoor pool is unheated from October to April, limiting its use for cold-water swimming only.

“What stands out here is the staff's warmth; they clearly aim for a welcoming atmosphere. The dual heated pools and well-equipped gym add real value, and I understand the food consistently earns high marks. If you're seeking solid comfort and practical amenities, especially with easy access to both town and beach, this could be a smart choice.”
