Good holiday but not enough time visiting places during the days out.

Hotel was good. However, room was above a kitchen extract fan which created a degree of continuous background noise between 6am and 10pm. Dinner provided a selection of choices. Staff were friendly and courteous. Excursions covered a wide area - a lot by coach. Train journeys were OK, although the heritage railway which only travelled from one station to the next was probably not worth the hassle, although it passed an hour which would probably been better spent in Lynton. However, all in all a good and enjoyable break.

Very enjoyable comprehensive tour of North Devon, but be prepared for coach journeys as well as train trips. Hotel location in Barnstaple ideal.

We had a really good time, visiting many different places. Barnstaple was a good location to be based. I understand that Bideford is an alternate location but I feel this would definitely reduce the convenience significantly and would be a poor move. Rail Discoveries certainly included many trips and was expertly organised and managed
