I had an experience at Premier Inn Barnstaple that left me quite conflicted. On one hand, the staff were friendly and the location was convenient with easy access to nearby amenities. However, the room conditions were less than ideal, with excessive heat and inadequate facilities, which greatly impacted my comfort during the stay.

The room was sweltering with no air conditioning, and the fan was noisy and ineffective, making for a tough night's sleep.

The clean and comfortable room allowed for a good night's sleep, but I faced chaos during breakfast, which fell significantly short of my expectations. The staff were friendly and helpful, yet my check-in experience was marred by confusion. Overall, while I enjoyed some aspects, I wouldn't rush to return.

My stay at Premier Inn Barnstaple was quite an experience. The room was clean and spacious, with comfortable bedding, but the temperature was uncomfortably warm without air conditioning. Despite the heat, the staff were very friendly and attentive, making me feel welcome throughout my visit. The location was great for exploring North Devon, though my dining experience next door was inconsistent.
