we stayed at the Hoops last week for two nights, a very comfortable room and quiet considering it faced the main road. The breakfasts were excellent, cooked to perfection, as were the meals we had in the evening. Easy access to Bideford and to the coast make it an ideal place to stay in north Devon. Would highly recommend and... More

We had a 3 day mid week break along with our choccy lab. The breakfast. Was excellent and staff were friendly . Although it purports to be a dog friendly hotel , dogs are only allowed in a very cramped bar at the rear of the hotel and sadly the night we decided to dine in another couple insisted on... More

We spent 4 nights at the Hoops Inn last week on an extremely reasonable voucher deal and enjoyed every moment. We were allocated a spacious family room which was nice and clean and yet still managed to be warm and cosy. Throughout our stay the staff were very professional, unfailingly friendly and enormously helpful. We thought that breakfasts were excellent... More

We were visiting our friends in Somerset and they agreed to drive us up to nearby Clovelly where my great grandparents met in 1874. We saw a sign that said open for dining, took a chance and had an amazing meal. We all were very satisfied with the quality and I made my way to the kitchen to acknowledge the... More

We booked the Hoops Inn for one night only to break up our journey home from Cornwall and this hotel was ideal as they were also happy to welcome our dog. Our room was comfortable and the bathroom modern, however the decor and public areas, including the garden, look quite tired and in need of some serious TLC. The staff... More

Just spent a very contented two nights at the inn. Fires warm and cosy, food tasty and staff all welcoming and friendly. The area is fab, and we would recommend the walk to Clovelly along the coast path ( very undulating and amazing views). Our room was small but comfy. The jacuzzi bath would have been but it didn't work!... More
