“Fantastic little visit to Barnstaple and stayed at the Yeo Dale Hotel. A lovely little family run hotel with a great feeling to the place. I loved the look and feel of this hotel and it was like going back in time a little bit it had all the perks of a newer hotel. The staff were very dwindle and the check in check out process was easy. The attic room was lovely and he bed was comfy with quality bedding too. Lovely little location just off the river and easy access to a limited parking area opposite next to the river too.”
“Cosy hotel, family business managed with love. Relaxing atmosphere, clean rooms with good amenities, and amazing selection of breakfast, cooker or continental. The staff is friendly, welcoming and helpful, making the stay a pleasure every time. The location is perfect for those exploring the area, or just visiting on a business trip. Several parking spaces available nearby, including the most affordable long stay. Shops, restaurants and pubs are all a short walk away.”
“We had a lovely stay here - I came for one night with my daughter but my parents also stayed for 2 nights. The rooms were lovely and comfortable and retained a lot of the character the hotel had clearly had over the years. We were made to feel very welcome and Paul the owner made people-shaped toast for my daughter for breakfast (which was also delicious) which went down well! They were also kind enough to post my daughter's necklace on to me, which she left in our room. Would definitely stay here again.”
“Looking for a last minute single room and one night stay, and had a great welcome from Paul. Charming, traditional small hotel and retains much of the character of this old building. Room was perfect and quiet. Enjoyed the walks to the recommended restaurant and the historic riverside. Much to discover and will come again.”
