Book a hotel near Exmoor Zoo, Barnstaple

"Stayed here with my partner for our first getaway together and it truly was the best decision!The location is stunning, they have such a beautiful property set away from hustle and bustle where you can truly unwind. It's also close enough to any major locations in north Devon which again is another selling point.The property itself is well fitted, the bathroom in particular is incredible. That in combination with the effort Maria and Steve go to is what makes this place second to non! From the in depth welcome documentation with anything you could ever need to know, to the hamper on arrival, it's truly special.Overall, I'd recommend this stay to anyone looking to get away for a long weekend, or even longer. We did 4 days. It was enough to see all of the surrounding areas while still having some time to relax."

"Neglected room, stains, not clean hotel generally neglected. Restaurant had run out of lots of menu items, car charger hard to find and no lights so very difficult to operate in the dark"

"Old Barn is in a delightful area with beautiful views. Lovely having use of a pool & hot tub. Children loved the animals & soft play. Having the dog field also great. Think certain areas looking bit tired & could do with new tea towels & bathroom towels. Only gripe was having to strip beds, empty all the bins & do recycling & be out by 9.30 am. We did it - just!!"

"Had a nice stay at the Kentisbury Grange in the retreat lodge. It was very well equipped and set in a lovely location. It did however show signs of age with some of furnishing needing replacement (eg some laminates on furniture peeling off). The cleaning was well below par. Layer of dust across most surfaces, crums in the table channels etc.. Bed linen and kitchen areas were very clean though. Bathroom had some issues and did not meet our definition of luxury because of wear and tear and cleanliness. Toilet brush urgently needs replacing. The shower drain was slow draining and when it was knocked it revealed a mass of black hair. This was somewhat off putting. I don’t want to end on a negative so I do want to praise the service and food at the bar and restaurant. It was a very welcomed on site facility that we enjoyed on number of evenings. Overall, the lodge just needs a little more TLC."

"Very nice B&B in lovely location . Large room, confortable bed, very quiet. The owners were very nice and accommodating. Would stay again. "

"We loved our stay at The Barn, Rye Park House. It is immaculate, beautiful decor, comfortable, quiet location, very well equipped - and the host is lovely! We have stayed at many self-catering cottages internationally and Rye Park House is The Best!"
