About

The Hoops Inn & Country Hotel is a Grade II listed property nestled within unspoiled countryside and 5 minutes’ drive from a scenic coastal walk. Dartmoor and Exmoor national parks can both be reached in less than an hour’s drive. The property also has more than 8 acres of landscaped grounds for guests to enjoy. An private bathroom, TV and tea/coffee making facilities are featured in each room at The Hoops Inn. A full English breakfast and varied menu can be enjoyed in the restaurant or al fresco on the covered courtyard. Local produce is used where possible, such as locally reared meat and locally caught fish. The picturesque village of Clovelly is just over 10 minutes’ drive away, and golf, sailing and surfing can be enjoyed in the surrounding area.

    Nice cosy hotel with a relaxed vibe. Lovely evening meal in the bar. Superb breakfast choice and cooked with passion. Room light, airy, comfortable. Toiletries and tea, coffee, biscuits in room. Ample parking. Good value

    Dog-friendly historic inn - the perfect place for a stopover on the way to/from Cornwall, or for a longer stay as a base to explore the area. Ample parking; a choice of exercise areas for your dog (landscaped garden, or runaround field); fabulous food (breakfast and dinner); fascinating architecture.

    In keeping old fashioned room with an amazing modern bathroom. The whirlpool bath was the highlight

    Nothing,couldn't fault it

    9TrevorPosted on: 4-22-2025

    Good food, courteous staff, good sized room and reasonable cost.

    9PennyPosted on: 4-21-2025

    Just a little bit of peace with relaxed feel and no pressure to rush or do more than enjoy the food in a lovely location. So dog friendly and they mean it. Everyone was just so helpful. Room was perfect size and the bed really comfortable. My dog was so at home.

    Window panes were blown so spoilt the view a little.

    Traditional pub with lovely atmosphere, great food (evening meal and breakfast) and friendly, welcoming staff. Beautiful gardens, great for walkers and dogs. Rooms were big and grand. We were in room 4. Lovely sofa to sit and watch tv, have drink/coffee etc (although a small coffee table would be helpful - plenty of room for one).

    A little out of the way and on a main road. (We were in a front facing room and road noise was minimal.) Personally it didn’t affect our stay but it might be a consideration for some.

    8BrianPosted on: 4-19-2025

    Lovely breakfast, with very good service. Evening meal exceptional. A very relaxing stay. A bonus 11a.m checkout.

    7EricPosted on: 4-15-2025

    Location was good very quiet.The first room we was put in had a continuous noise throughout the day and night a motor running so didn’t get much sleep. But after having a word with the owner he moved us to a better and quieter room.

    8PaulPosted on: 4-15-2025

    Quirky and historic with beautiful garden area

    Room very small and slightly dated and no shelf or cabinet for toiletries in bathroom

    Excellent place, beautiful country inn in suburb setting

    The bed and pillows were not in keeping with everything else here, very uncomfortable!

    10HannahPosted on: 4-11-2025

    The best Inn I have stayed in. Lovely friendly staff. The Inn itself is very quaint and cozy. Breakfast and evening meals simply lovely and delicious! Would definitely book again :)

    10RobertsPosted on: 4-8-2025

    Staff were friendly and very helpful. The bedroom was comfortable and very clean. Delightful garden with tables. Dog friendly with access to grounds for exercise. Excellent value for money.Extensive breakfast and dinner menues. Will certainly return as central touring country and coast.

    Only one disappointment shower was over bath. There are limited en suites with walk in shower so be sure to check if booking.
