A great find! Comfortable bed. A fantastic shower and bathroom with plenty of storage. Delicious breakfast and a good choice.These really are fundamental requirements when staying away from home. The staff were friendly and helpful, supplying specific milk as requested in advance. There is a large and well-stocked garden, with plenty of seating. A generous sized restaurant. The downsides: very... More

We stayed at Hoops Inn for one night on Saturday 1st June. Our room was a standard double, was very clean and comfortable. The room seemed to have been recently decorated and the bathroom refurbished. We had our greyhound with us and were made to feel very welcome by the staff. Breakfast was brilliant, succulent sausage, bacon, two eggs,tomato,hot toast-all... More

We stayed here 17th/18th May & had a fantastic time! We stayed in room 3 & though it overlooked the road, we did not get disturbed by the traffic what so ever. We had a large flat screen TV & a lovely canopied bed which was very comfortable. The floors take a bit of getting used to, sloping up &... More

Staying locally we called in here for evening meal. It is a very old coaching house with lots of quirky seating, nooks and crannies. It was very busy but friendly staff found us a table. It did take over an hour for food to come but was well worth the wait. Seam bream was delicious, plenty of moules in a... More

The Hoops Inn is well placed on the main road between Bideford and Clovelly. We were on a 2-night Wowcher deal and our room was located on the first floor, luckily away from the busy main road. Corridor walls were white plastered with black wooden beams and our room was clean if a little dated, with a shower room and... More

The Hoops Inn looks great from the outside. Thats it thats all there is good about it. The decor inside is like a flash back to a tired 1970s BeefEater pub and is desperate for a renovation. The choice of beer is either the Hoop Light or Dark. Thats it just two beers !!! We ordered a fish & chips... More

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
