Definitely better than a 3 star hotel

I cannot believe that this hotel is only rated 3 stars. It is better than some of the 4-star hotels I have stayed in. We stayed for three nights in a first floor pool view/balcony room. The hotel is situated about a mile outside Barnstaple.

We could not fault the helpfulness and politeness of all the staff at this hotel it certainly made my daughters wedding very memorable,the rooms were kept cleaned and well maintained room service was also very good if you wanted something in your room instead of going down to the restaurant or bar.
