Royal and Fortescue Hotel
Formerly a coaching inn, The Royal and Fortescue Hotel is an historic and traditional market town hotel, earning its present title after patronage by the late King Edward VII.
Barnstaple is reputedly England's oldest borough, and has gained consistent recognition in the annual Britain in Bloom Competition, culminating as winner of the World in Bloom title - an outstanding achievement!
Situated in the town centre, the Hotel offers all modern facilities while retaining its original charm and character. All bedrooms have bathroom en-suite and the lift provides easy access to all floors. The relaxing lounges are waiter served throughout the day and are well renowned for their wonderful selection of afternoon teas, patisserie and specialist coffees.
'Lord Fortescue's', the Hotel Restaurant, enjoys a particularly fine reputation with extensive A La Carte and Table d'Hote menus to choose from.
"62 The Bank" is a stylish cafe/bar/bistro located adjacent to the Royal & Fortescue. From the spectacular coved ceiling to the oak panelled walls, it offers memorable gastronomic experiences from around the world.
As a guest of Brend Hotels you will be able to use the facilities of The Barnstaple Hotel & Leisure Club at our sister hotel.
