Join our break to this outstanding Brend Hotel for a touch of luxury in the centre of Barnstaple. One of their best!

Lying on the River Taw, Barnstaple is the largest town in North Devon with a history extending back to King Aethelstan. Once a major port, Barnstaple is a thriving market town with a partly pedestrianised centre, historic buildings, charming streets and alleys and a traditional Pannier Market. The dramatic, rugged coastline of the North Devon Coast, where the cliffs seem to dive in to the sea is quite stunning and on a clear day you can see over to South Wales.
