The Old Vicarage

A warm welcome was made after or long journey to Barnstaple - Brian and Sandi are excellent hosts and the accommodation is top-notch. This is no so-so B&B that's seen better days, the Old Vicarage is tastefully decorated, with much thought put into the interior design. The nicest touch that we've ever experienced is a piece of home-made cake each day left in the room ready for when getting back after exploring the area. Breakfast was spot-on, a range of cereals, compot and of course the full english - efficiently presented on time by the completion of a simple tickbox form left outside the door in the evening. Everything was cooked to perfection and there was no feeling of being rushed to get finished and out... Our room was simply divine! The bed was very comfortable, with lots of room to relax in - the ensuite bathroom (in room 1 - can't speak for the others) was better than many 4+ star hotels that I've stayed in. A HUGE free-standing bath as well as a large separate shower with no lack of water pressure! There is plenty of parking on-site. We're going back next year!
