Our places in Barnstaple
The choice in Barnstaple runs from small cabins for two to a house with 8 bedrooms, an indoor pool and a hot tub. Most are in the middle of the range, with 2 to 4 bedrooms. A few dog-friendly cabins for 4 are much cheaper than the usual night, while the large hot tub houses for 8 to 10 guests sit well above it. If your budget is tight, check the smaller dog-friendly places first. If you are travelling in a big group, the larger houses are the ones to look at, since the cost per person drops once you share.
Barnstaple sits at the head of the Taw estuary in North Devon, and the lodges and cabins around it suit groups and couples who want a base for the coast, Exmoor and the Tarka Trail. Most places here are built for company. Sleeping capacity averages about 5, and the largest place takes 22 guests, so family reunions and big birthday weekends are well covered.
Hot tubs are the main feature, with about 72% of places having one, and about 64% have a log burner. Around 68% accept pets, which makes dog owners an easy group to cater for. Guest ratings are high, averaging 8.9 out of 10. Prices cover a very wide range. A night usually costs about the same as a mid-range cottage break, but the cheapest night found is far lower, and the biggest houses cost many times more than a two-person cabin. Winter weeks come out a little cheaper than weeks in the rest of the year.
Features
A garden is the most common feature, found at about 92% of places. Hot tubs come next at about 72%, and log burners at about 64%. Swimming pools and children's play areas each appear at about 40%, so families have real options. Places with a hot tub usually cost more than those with only a garden, and places with fishing sit at the top of the price range, which points to larger estates. A BBQ is listed at only a few places and those tend to be cheaper. A high chair is listed at only about 16%, so ask before you book if you have a baby.

By number of guests
Cabins for 2 are the most common size alongside those sleeping 3 to 4, with 7 and 8 places respectively. Moving up to 3 or 4 guests lowers the cost per person by a lot, and places sleeping 5 to 6 lower it again. Those larger cabins typically have 2 to 3 bedrooms. If you can fill a bigger cabin, splitting the bill is clearly the cheaper route per head.
January is the dearest month in the coming months, noticeably above the rest. December is also dearer than November. February and March are cheaper, and March is the lowest of the six months. April rises a little again. Availability is widest in November and December, and it tightens in February, when fewer places remain free. For the best price and a reasonable choice, March is the month to aim for. If you want a hot tub in cold weather, expect to pay more around the new year.
