We had visited Hoops Inn before and chose it for our anniversary weekend because we loved the warm welcome we had been given in all the bars and restaurants where we felt we were treated as honoured guests. I thoroughly recommend the "Hoops inn Best Local Ale”, as others have said "the menu is a bit limited in scope" but... More

We stayed in a superior room No 5. Can only say that my wife and I throughly enjoyed our 3 days at the Hoops Inn. The staff were very accomodating. Room clean and cosy and the food was without doubt the best we have tasted in a long time. All freshly cooked and the steaks were cooked to perfection. Excellent... More

For just £69 including breakfast for two, this hotel offers great value for money and well appointed rooms. We were in room 3, which had a half tester bed, very nice quality furniture and a well appoiunted bathroom. The restuarant is excellent, although not cheap, but when I want cheap I don't chose a hotel. The grounds are lovely, but... More

High prices and mediocre food combined with amateur service means this overpriced hotel is worth a miss. More

(1) We have a fairly informal dress code, but in our Restaurant the minimum standard is a shirt and trousers or good jeans. Out of respect to other customers who like to dress for dinner, we do politely disuade customers from wearing singlets, or request they eat in any of the bar areas. The majority of customers agree with this... More

Just returned from a stay at the hoops inn with family and friends as a kgb deal. Room lovely, bar nice, breakfast good. Not much choice at all for vegetarians on the evening menu. Had a lovely Hoops veggie burger the first night, then second night the choice was....oh the hoops veggie burger again. My daughter had the ravioli from... More

Stayed in room 8,which was very adequate,lovely view onto the gardens.Breakfast was very good.The entrance was very cold,and there was a funny smell in the corridor.Prehaps they should not allow dogs,or not put people in rooms that do not have dogs,that have had dogs in them..Just because we where on a KGB deal i don't think you should be penalised...

Booked weekend through KGB deals and was unsure how things would go. Could not have selected a more warm and hospitable hotel with excellent food at reasonable prices. Although our room was on the main road there was very little noise as hotel is on a quiet road between Clovelly and Bideford. Dee the owner plus all of the staff... More

Did Chanddot of Peterborough stay at another Hoops Inn!? My friend and I have just spent 2 nights at Hoops and couldn't fault it. Our room was huge with 2 king size beds and it had a fabulous bathroom - both being spotlessly clean. We ate there both nights and the food was beautifully presented and tasty too; the breakfast...

After staying with friends in Exeter we fancied a night on the north coast of Devon, after reading reviews this hotel/pub appealed. We were fortunate in getting a brilliant deal on the suite which included a double jacuzzi bath, very welcome after a long cycle ride on the Tarka trail. We had a lovely dinner and great breakfast, the owners... More
