This was our first break for a few years so we were looking for something special. We found the Hoops Inn on an internet search and decided to give it a try. This as it turns out, was probably one of the best decisions we have made recently. On arrival we were checked in efficiently with a friendly welcome and... more

My wife and I were looking for that last minute get-away-from-it-all break and came across the details for the Hoops Inn on Hotels.com. After reading most of the reviews on trip advisor we decided to give it a go. We arrived at around 13.00 on Sunday 13th April and it immediately became apparent that this place is very popular for... more

Be prepared, this is an overpriced pub and not a country hotel as per the website! We booked a "junior family suite" for 2 adults and 2 small children. The room was large and was probably an old stable or garage. The wiring only allows for main lights & wall lights together, you cannot turn the main lights off and... more

Having spent 3 wonderfully relaxing days at the Hoops Inn over Easter, i firmly believe that any negative comments made of the property are very much the (unfortunate) minority. To state, as one reviewee from Bournmouth did, namely that the Hoops Inn is "the wost place that they had ever stayed" is a total travesty. During our stay, we found... more

We always try and get away for a few days in England and try somewhere new. We had not stayed in North Devon before but couldn't have chosen better. The Hoops is a lovely thatched Inn, and as it is not really close to any other eating places, well worth taking up the option of Bed, Breakfast and Evening Meal.... more

We have just returned from the hotel, and to be fair, we think it's good value for money. Including breakfast, the price of a standard double room was very little more than a full price budget hotel. We had a standard room which was warm and comfortable, and in a much better location that a budget one! It's a 13th... more

Unfortunately before we stayed at 'The Hoops' we had not read the other reviews on Trip Adviser and do we wish we had! This has got to go down as THE WORST HOTEL WE HAVE EVER STAYED IN by miles - and believe me we stay in quite a few. WHATEVER YOU DO - DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL... more

We have Just returned {27/08/07) from the hoops inn. After reading the reviews {after we booked } we were dreading going, even to the point of thinking of canceling. I am so pleased we didnt. We stayed in room 2 which was a suite with a very comfortable 4 poster bed, a large dressing area, a lovely bathroom with a... more

Returned from over night stay at the Hoops this weekend (18th August 2007). This was to be a romantic break. Sadly this was not to be at the hoops! On paper is has got what you need beautiful coach house, good food & lovely countryside. Our room was a bit of a let down we felt was a bit overpriced... more
