Lovely hotel. Welcomed us & our dog. Excellent walking area at the back of the hotel for walking the dog. Had a Sunday roast which was as good as mine! Breakfast was so large, I didn’t have to eat again that day!

The Hoops Inn was great value for money and was ideally located to tour around Northern Devon and Cornwall. The room was clean and felt like it had been recently refurbished. We enjoyed the evening meal and breakfasts. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We will stay here again and would recommend it - especially for the price!

Very pleasant

This place a very nice and full of history. We found our room very small for us and 2 dogs but was very hot. No fan in the room and nothing available when asked. Pleased we only stayed one night with the dogs. Would stay again as all staff very friendly and welcoming. Food including breakfast was very nice.

The Inn was delightful and very well “modernized” ,yet still keeping the lovely old portions like a stained glass window in our room. We were disappointed with the service though. They were extremely busy at the time so perhaps that could explain. When the two rooms were booked well over a month ago we also booked dining for the evening. However, we were not seated at any of their pretty dining areas as they said it was all booked up. We were put at a table in the public bar area where a group were not dining but just drinking. The breakfast served in a lovely dining room was excellent— very generous portions as was the Sunday roast the previous evening.

Stayed 2 nights at the Hoop Inn, bed extremely comfortable, staff all attentive and friendly. Evening meal was excellent and the breakfasts set us up for the day. Plenty of safe off road parking. I would highly recommended and will be looking to book again if we are visiting Devon in the future.

Arrived just before check room was ready Staff did have to juggle between bar/ reception and serving meals so a little slow at times. Hubby was a bit disappointed with his lamb as had watched other people in the day getting bigger portions but tasted lovely.Anna was so helpful and Millie only saw her 1 evening but really helpful. Our dog was even given a sausage for breakfast lovely touch. The ladies cleaning the rooms were lovely.

We will definitely use this Inn again!

An overnight stay in room 2 which is directly above the bar and alongside the road however we still slept really well. The room was spacious and had a jacuzzi bath✅. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the hotel was too. We had our evening meal there and the food was terrific. There is also a very pretty garden for some afternoon beers. We will definitely be going back.
