Book a Tarka Trail Cottage

"Clean room and decent breakfast. Poor evening meal. No lounge or communal area after bar closing time. Unstaffed after bar closing time. Room access via outside only. Poorly lit corridors. Overall feeling of unsafe for lone female travellers."

"Absolutely loved this place! Super quaint, comfy and quiet. We stayed in Room 10 which has incredible views out the back. I'd definitely recommend this"

"We often stay here, the location is perfect. Staff are always welcoming and friendly. Rooms are always clean and comfortable and the breakfast is always well stocked and tasty. Thank you"

"Beautiful. Beautifully decorated - very high-end relaxing experience."

"Consistently good hotel with great facilities"

"The hotel was in an ideal location. The staff were so helpful. Would stay again."

"Excellent room and hotel in general with pleasant staff however the food was very poor. Four star hotel but only offering poorly cooked pub food such as F&C, Scampi, Burgers, roast of the day etc.. nothing adventurous, no pasta, curries, no fresh fish although a few miles from the sea except fried cod from The North East I guess. It’s a fair walk to the next restaurant (a hotel) and we saw a Wetherspoons in Barnstaple which we didn’t fancy. We ended up on our last night of three collecting a sandwich from a garage and it was nicer than the previous nights F&C…. I hate writing a poor review as the staff were trying so hard and the hotel is excellent in all other aspects but someone at an executive level made the menu decision as apparently there used to be a bistro…..At 4* hotel prices one aspects 4* food to be available . I should have checked the web a bit closer I expect. Also be aware breakfast closes at 9.00am weekdays (9.30am weekends) and when you’re on a break you need a bit more leeway. It’s an expensive “full English” at £17 and then offered Eggs Benedict at a £3 supplement that’s ludicrous. I suppose we are classed as elderly and so expect everything we need on site and not to have to drive for meals."

"It was very quiet"

"Hotel was a good location, however double charged me for my stay. The initial quote was given however have seen they have charged me double the amount stated. Room did not have any amenities, kettle dirty, no bottled water, heating didn't work. Shower dirty."
