Getting Around

Find train tickets →
🚌
National Express Coach £12

Exeter Bus and Coach Station → Barnstaple Bus Station (a 5-minute walk from the hotel)

75 min · Every 2–3 hours · 06:00–21:00 (varies by day)

💡 Book online in advance for the cheapest fares — walk-up fares are double. The coach drops you at the bus station on Boutport Street; the hotel is a straight walk up the High Street.

🚂
Tarka Line Railway £13

Exeter Central or Exeter St David's → Barnstaple Railway Station

80 min · Hourly · 05:45–22:30

💡 Get a day return if you’re heading back — it’s often cheaper than a single. The station is a 10-minute walk from the hotel, mostly flat along Bear Street.

🚌
Stagecoach Bus 21/21A (Local Transit) £2.50

Barnstaple town centre (various stops near the hotel) → Saunton, Croyde or Woolacombe beaches

30 min · Every 30 minutes in peak season · 07:00–19:00 (reduced on Sundays)

💡 The 21A goes via Braunton to the surfing beaches — tap on/off with contactless, no ticket needed. Avoid the last bus if you’re out late; the service gets patchy after 6pm.

🚕
Airport Transfer from Exeter £85

Exeter International Airport → The Royal and Fortescue Hotel, Barnstaple

75 min · On demand (pre-book recommended) · 24/7 with advance booking

💡 Book a local Barnstaple taxi firm like Giles Cabs or Barnstaple Taxis — they’re cheaper than airport-rank cabs, and will drop you right at the hotel door.
