A contemporary slice of history

Barnstaple is full of historic finds, and one of its most special architectural gems is the beautiful Georgian building which houses the Royal And Fortescue. Ancient meets modern at this relaxed and comfortable hotel with its classic boutique styling and warm and friendly ambience. Smart lounges, a sleek bar and stunning bistro - plus all the pleasures of room service - complete the experience.
