- Alison (8/5): Big room . Modern clean and very comfy - Lovely large room . Friendly welcoming staff
- Cardiffboy (7/5): No - Breakfast was excellent, we were offered cereal, but no fresh fruit or yoghurt. The freshly cooked full English was spectacular.
The breakfast staff were very friendly and chatty. Evening meal the night before was disappointing, especially as we had booked partly on the basis of the excellent food reviews.
Our first table was near the kitchen door and very noisy. We asked to move and that was done quickly and easily by a helpful member of staff.
I had fish and chips - the batter was thick and not fully cooked. My wife had chicken and it was woefully over cooked, to the point where it was hard to cut or chew. When I mentioned this (when we were asked how the meal had been) the response was simply ‘oh, sorry about that’.
- David (8/5): Very good -
- Gary (10/5): Exceptional - It's true that if you have a welcoming host it makes all the difference to your stay, and what more can we say but thankyou, breakfast fabulous, staff friendly atmosphere was lovely, room clean and comfortable great views sitting outside in the morning, thanks guys
- Richard (7/5): Nice place! - Staff, location and price. Only minor fault was the shower pressure in the morning.
- Michiela (9/5): Hunters Lodge - Stayed before, lovely rooms, great breakfast No major problems- just the water pressure in our shower was really low halfway through the shower, maybe nothing the hotel can do about that though

- Kl (10/5): Amazing overnight stay - We had a perfect stay from check in. We were welcomed by Nicky and shown to our lovely accommodation. The rooms in the lodge building were spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The bathroom was modern with a very powerful shower. Our evening meals and breakfast cooked by John were exceptional. The hotel is in a quiet location with countryside views and has plenty of free onsite parking. Nothing - this is a great hotel with friendly staff who make time for their guests. We all really enjoyed our stay and will return. My only regret is that we couldn't stay longer to try their carvery.

- John (10/5): Would definitey stay again with my partner. - Staff were lovely and friendly. The bed was really big and there were chairs in the room too. The breakfast was good would have liked a little more choice of cereal for breakfast and some fruit. The toilet didn't flush too well but staff were aware and had called a plumber. The shed door was banging in the night but staff wouldn't have been aware of that and I solved it easily enough.
- Penny (10/5): All round good premises and service. - Staff very helpful and pleasant. Food and drink superb. Very comfortable bed. Access was very complicated due to local road closures. Obviously this is not the fault of the property but perhaps we could have been warned.
- Sandra (10/5): Fantastic Hunters Lodge! - Great weekend at Hunters Lodge. Nicky and John go above and beyond to ensure your stay is perfect. Communication was excellent from the moment we booked until the day of arrival. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the decor was of a high standard. The evening meal was superb and freshly cooked to order. I had the salmon, the best I had ever tasted. The homemade Prosecco sauce was delicious. My husbands steak was cooked to perfection. English breakfast was also perfect. Couldn't fault our stay in any way. It was perfect! Thank you, Nicky and John, for your excellent hospitality. We wouldn't hesitate to stay at your lodge when we are next in Barnstaple. Highly recommended. Nothing to dislike.

Breakfasts were excellent as were the evening meals and all of the staff were amazing. Really lovely people. Perfect if you like a rural location. Nothing really
- Wright (10/5): Exceptional - Hospitality excellent - room great - bed comfy - brilliant shower. Friendly staff and very helpful. Catered well for both gluten free and vegan diets.
- Helene (10/5): Excellent. - Fantastic customer service! Second to none. Large, clean, modern room and en suite. Very happy indeed. Honestly one of the most pleasing experiences I have had, and I have stayed in more hotels than I care to recall! If I really have to find an issue (there really isn’t one), I would say please put a shelf in the shower so we can put shampoo, conditioner and shower gel on it rather than on the floor of the shower. But really that’s the only improvement.
- John (10/5): Exceptional -

It’s not in Barnstable but a quiet little hamlet about 15 mins SW
There is nothing to dislike about the property or my stay
- Andrew (10/5): Exceptional -
- John (10/5): Exceptional - Very warm,welcoming offering us dinner after last food orders.
Very welcoming with our rescue dog .
Accommodation.was clean spacious and the Hunters inn was excellent. Nothing to not like
- Roger (10/5): Exceptional - The is a lovely pub in a village not far from Barnstable. The owner was a wonderful host, making us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. The room was spacious, exceptionally clean and comfortable, with a nice big bed. Breakfast was a delight and you could have exactly what you wanted and a reasonanle time of your choosing. We had two wonderful evening meals too and these were very good. We highly recommend Humters Lodge and will be back., that is if it not fully booked for our dates. . This establishment is a perfect place and there is nothing to dislike.
- Anthony (8/5): A very enjoyable break with excellent hosts - Very friendly host and hostess who created a homely atmosphere from the start.
Breakfast was "as much as you could eat" and was well presented. We had two evening meals, one for our wedding anniversary, both were substantial and delicious, served by efficient and attentive staff.
For the two nights the restaurant was closed, the hosts recommended very good alternatives and even led us there by car through the winding country lanes. We would have preferred a ground floor room as access to the 1st floor was via an outside staircase but this was not too much of a problem.
- Alan (10/5): Great stay over place when on route to south coast - Loved everything about the accommodation and food both were excellent
- Wendi (8/5): Well situated accomodation with the benefit of the pub/restaurant attached - Lovely peaceful location, we were visiting family in the area so was only staying one night, the accomodation was very nice, exceptionally clean and very modern. Staff were really lovely, so friendly. We did not eat in the restaurant in the evening as we were visiting family but had breakfast the next morning - excellent!! I would have scored the 'comfort' slightly higher, but the beds were not very comfortable, a little lumpy and when you moved the bed 'creaked' so I do think they may need to invest in some new beds/mattresses or even maybe look at putting a topper on the existing mattress, well certainly in the room we were in, such a shame as I could not fault it any other way
- Bridget (10/5): Exceptional - Really clean. Friendly & very accommodating team, no complaints, super service & will definitely be back
- Paul (10/5): Exceptional - Really nice place to stay. Very handy to have the pub as part of the complex. We had dinner and breakfast there and highly recommend it. The staff in the Lodge and the Inn are all very friendly so the service is excellent. We would definitely stay again when we're visiting the area in future.
- Alison (10/5): Perfect for our trip and our needs. Felt very welcomed and we were well looked after. - This place is a little gem. Lovely quiet location yet easy access down to Barnstaple. Hosts couldn’t have been more welcoming and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. We had a twin room and had our dog with us. Room is immaculately clean and pretty brand new. Shower great. Comfortable and all you need. Breakfast excellent and we enjoyed a delicious carvery on Sunday. Will stay again and recommend to friends and family. If only we could have stayed longer!
- Margaret (10/5): The owners were fantastic and very friendly we had wonderful time. - The room was very clean and new Nothing
- Iain (10/5): Excellent quality all round - Outstanding quality
- Kirsty (10/5): Outstanding I look forward to booking again xx - Was very clean tidy airy and comfortable! The shower especially was outstanding :) Nothing at all it was absolutely perfect
