You approach this B&B down a narrow one-way street and the entrance is unremarkable, but a great hideaway awaits beyond. The rooms are being renovated one-by-one by the new owners and they took our breath away. Two individual sleeping areas in the family suite, tastefully decorated to modern standards. You get a slice of homemade cake and a thermos of... More

We had time to look around Barnstaple and surrounding areas by staying for one week in this lovely house. We don't have a car and needed to reach north Devon by train so Barnstaple was an ideal location. Talking about location, the bus station was only minutes away from The Old Vicarage and we were able to visit many places... More

What a wonderful place. We stayed as a group of 4 for an overnight stay during a 3 day cycle ride. Although it is not far from the centre you would not think so as it was a very quiet location. We felt very welcomed, the cycles were immediately placed in a safe location. The room was arranged with obvious... More

We booked the old vicarage at fairly short notice, and although we only stayed for one night, left feeling well pleased. On arrival a change of room to meet our personal preference along with some home made cake and a flask of milk for hot drinks. The rooms had been recently decorated and were very welcoming. An excellent breakfast. Our... More

I had a one night stay in The Old Vicarage on a work trip to Devon. Slightly out of the centre of Barnstaple (a pleasant 5 minute walk to the shops/pubs etc.) but easy to find and nice and quiet. The room was huge as was the en suite, the bed was comfy and the breakfast was tasty and filling.I... More

We had one night staying at The Old Vicarage in February this year and had a lovely room, recently refurbished right at the top of the house. We were welcomed by a friendly face and homemade cake. It was a cold day but our rooms were warm, bed very comfortable and lovely hot wet shower. Thanks for your hospitality, we... More

I stayed at the Old Vicarage B&B in Jan 2013 as I had to attend a family funeral in Barnstaple at short notice. I cannot praise this B&B highly enough - my room was spacious, warm and comfortable, an excellent breakfast, and the hosts, Sandi and Brian couldn't do enough to help; they were kindness personified! I would definitely choose... More

This was our second visit to the Old Vicarage, a charming family run B&B. Sandi & Bryan are wonderful hosts - genuinely warm and friendly. We have found it to be a haven for a relaxing break in any season. It offers luxurious accommodation, a lovely, quiet location and all a 5 minute stroll from the town centre. Our room... More
