Absolutely fantastic B&B. Super clean, comfortable, cosy decor, and a very spacious room overlooking water. In our room (room 10) there was an espresso machine, some biscuits, and a cute little chocolate on our pillows. Of the five B&Bs we stayed at on this holiday The Seagate had arguably the best breakfast (competing with a 4 star B&B in Clovelly). We actually chose to have a continental style breakfast with plenty of fruit, cereal, an amazing hand prepared yogurt pot. We didn't have a cooked breakfast because we'd already eaten so much over the holiday, but judging by the quality of everything else, I'd wager their cooked breakfasts are great, too. The Seagate is listed on Google as a 3 star hotel but we've no idea why because it easily competes with, and in some cases outshines, some of the 4 star B&Bs we've been to. There is an incredible icecream van that parks just outside the Seagate, and there is also a bus stop just outside as well. You can walk out of the hotel, cross the road, and get the 21A bus directly to Barnstaple train station - super convenient if you're traveling to/from London. We were really thrilled with our stay here and I hope to come back soon with my mum. Note: Sometimes B&Bs that double as pubs/restaurants seem too busy to be attentive to their staying guests, but that is not the case here. When we arrived the pub was literally packed, couldn't have been busier, and we still got a first rate, friendly service, and surprisingly couldn't hear the pub crowd from our room.
