    negative:

    Little Sleep; Especially on Weekends.

    Things can get a little wild with late-night partiers in Barnstample. So if you'd like to get some shut eye, you might find that task difficult according to some guests. Furthermore, guests say the lack of insulation means you can hear your neighbours in adjoining rooms or the hallways.

    negative:

    The Decor Looks Old-Fashioned.

    Some visitors commented that the hotel looks out-of-date. Guests also remarked that the rooms could use a deep cleaning and renovation to give it a brighter and more modern feel.

    negative:

    Car Park Issues for Some.

    A few travellers had difficulty finding the car park. Others mentioned that it wasn't very large. Some guests also mentioned spaces can be sparse. So while many visitors were grateful there was a carpark on-site, some said they were anxious. They were concerned that if they left after checking in that they wouldn't be able to find a space after their return.
