The Royal & Fortescue is an utterly charming hotel situated at the head of Barnstaple’s historic High Street. There is no better situation for access to all of the town’s bars and restaurants.
Steeped in history, this elegant Georgian hotel offers stylish accommodation and a vibrant convivial atmosphere. With no less than three in-house restaurants as well as a gorgeous lounge bar, there’s nowhere better to unwind and linger over a meal or a cappuccino.
The amenities include superb cuisine in the Lord Fortescue Restaurant, plus “62 The Bank” adjoining the hotel – Barnstaple’s top brasserie offers great food in an historic building with a stunning Tudor ceiling.
Guests can enjoy use of the leisure facilities at the leisure club situated at the sister hotel, the Barnstaple. These include indoor and outdoor heated swimming pools as well as a fitness suite and heated stone beds.
Free wi-fi is available and there is plenty of free parking, plus a lift between floors.
All the bedrooms have telephones, flatscreen TV’s, ensuite bathrooms with baths and showers, luxury toiletries, tea & coffee making facilities and hair dryers.
The hotel is in a great location midway between the classic North Devon links courses Saunton and Royal North Devon, with Ilfracombe less than half an hour away too.
