Lodging and Food in Devon
My family and I recently took a weekend vacation down to Devon to celebrate my youngest cousin’s first birthday. Below you can find some basic information on my B&B, as well as the pub we had our big lunch in. I highly recommend both, so if you find yourself in the area you may want to look into these two establishments.
Where I Stayed
Town: Barnstaple, Devon
Lodging: The Poplars
Cost (per night): £80 for double occupancy
Number of Nights: 2
Amenities: Complimentary Full Breakfast, Wireless Internet, Cable TV, Private Bathroom, Tea/Coffee/Cake in Room, Back Yard
Notes: The Poplars is a lovely “guest house” located on Runsam Road, a quiet residential road in Barnstaple and within walking distance of shops. This B&B offers two rooms, one with two single beds and the other with one double, and a live-in proprietor. Maggie, Saul and their children are friendly and welcoming - a joy to spend the weekend with.
Breakfast is included in your room price and is full English-style. It is also delicious!
Off-street parking is available, and there is space on the street as well.
** This B&B also has a live-in family dog - be aware if anyone in your party is allergic! **

Where We Ate
Town: Georgeham, North Devon
Pub: The Rock Inn
Website: http://therockinn.biz/
Price Range: £2.50-£8 for starters / £5-£20 for mains, including sandwiches
# In Party: 24, including 6 children
Amenities: Children’s Menu, Word Search with Crayons, High Chairs, Outdoor Seating, Private Rooms, Separate Tabs
Notes: This pub was the perfect place for a large family and friends lunch catch-up. If you have a group, try to call ahead and book a reservation. The Rock Inn is extremely accommodating to larger parties, and we were sat in a spacious room at the back of the restaurant. The kids had their own table and space to play around outside.
Our servers were attentive, knowledgable and friendly. They also allowed us to split our orders onto separate tabs to make payment easier. They met all of our needs to great satisfaction - and the food was very yummy!
Private parking is available next to the pub. If you have multiple cars, you might try parking in the nearby lot at Glebe Field off Newberry Road. Parking in both spots is free.

Also, if you're visiting the area you may want to drop by Woolacombe Bay Beach - beautiful even on a windy November day! A great place for families, couples or a quiet book read.
