About Wayfarer Inn

A proper restaurant and bar are at the heart of the Wayfarer Inn, giving guests a place to eat and drink without leaving the building, alongside breakfast to set up a day exploring. It's a small hotel, with just seven rooms, each with an en-suite bathroom and drinks available in the room, and a 24 hour reception means arrival times are never a worry.

The rooms are straightforward and comfortable rather than showy, which suits the inn's role as a base for getting out and about in Bideford rather than a destination in itself. There's a garden for some fresh air on site, and pets are welcome, so the four-legged members of the party don't need to be left behind.

Outside the door, the area offers walking and cycling routes, watersports, fishing and a golf course, plus further pubs, bars and restaurants nearby for evenings when guests fancy a change of scene. Entertainment nearby rounds out the options, making the Wayfarer Inn a sensible, unfussy base for exploring the North Devon coast.
