Advantages smart, 2 swimming pools
Disadvantages none
The Barnstaple Hotel, Braunton Road, Barnstaple is part of the Brend group. It is on the outskirts of Barnstaple and is ideal for a short break.
Brend Hotels have several properties in Devon and Cornwall and maintain a certain standard in all of their hotels.The hotel has been rated 3* by the AA, RAC and the Tourist Board.
The hotel has its own health club with 2 swimming pools, jacuzzie, sauna and gym. This is free to hotel guests and open to members who pay an annual fee.PRICES
+++++++
Continental Breakfast is £7.50 and a Full English is £10.00.

The autumn/winter rates are even better value, with 2 nights costing #52 per night and 3 nights or more costing #47 per person per night. These prices include breakfast and a four course dinner.
THE ACCOMMODATIONThe Barnstaple has 60 rooms, called Garden Court, Pool View, Executive and Deluxe.
We stayed in a pool view room. The room had a satellite television, hairdryer, trouser press, tea and coffee with biscuits, paper, pen, envelopes and plenty of storage space. There is 24 hour room service and you can have breakfast served in your room for an extra cost.The bathroom was white and very clean and tidy and the shower was extremly powerful. The only complaint was that the toilet was right next to the bath and could not be sat on comfortably, (but then my bottom is bigger than most, so maybe it was just me!)
There is a door onto the balcony which runs around the whole outside of the hotel overlooking the pool and steps down to the pool, which is great and means that you can get to the pool without having to go through the hotel all the time.FOOD
+++++
At breakfast the next morning there was a large selection of cereals and full English breakfast, all on a help yourself basis. Tea and coffee is brought to your table.
There is a bar menu and a brasserie menu, both serving excellent meals. The brasseries offers 2 courses for #20 or 3 courses for #23 per person. There is a wide range of choices.SERVICE
++++++++
The check in procedure is very simple, at reception you have to sign in and give your car registration. Then you are given a key to your room and directions up the stairs and along the corridor.
