The Hoops Inn

Lovely garden, breakfast and staff. Dinner was good too

Amazing! If you are even considering booking here, do it! Everything from the accommodations, staff and food were top notch. 10 Stars!

Lovely character hotel, room was lovely, quite warm due to the very thick walls, bath in our room was huge (room 3), super dog friendly, great breakfast

Hoops Inn is a lovely Grade II building with history. It has a lovely garden, although on a steep incline so may not be suitable for anyone with walking difficulty. The staff are very welcoming & helpful. Lovely freshly cooked breakfasts with good quality produce.

Yes breakfast was varied and well cooked and presented bar choices excellent evening meal choice very good alround 5 star as always

Comfortable, clean, breakfast good choice and hot. Staff good

This was a return visit as we loved the friendly staff and locals. Special treat for our Irish Wolfhound because my wife was on antibiotics so timing meant she couldn't have her breakfast... so guess who got it instead. Very happy dog though I think the chef felt his skills were not being tested given she likes her eggs raw. So yes they are very dog friendly, and the food for us humans was excellent as well.

Excellent staff, spotless rooms, snd superb food. Would recommend to everyone.

Superb stay at The Hoops Inn. Made to feel extremely welcome as was Tilly our dog 🐶and the food was another level. Can't wait to come back

Super dog friendly Room full of character and a very generous size Spotlessly clean Staff welcoming In a great location for visits to Bude and Westward Ho

Friendly bunch of people around the bar. Excellent food. Helpful and no issues with our giant dog (Irish Wolfhound). We had 2 rooms. Rooms at the back are modern and quiet. Rooms at the front are lovely tudor atmosphere and we did not notice any road noise.

Good choice of ales

Très bon hôtel.

Nestled in the tranquil countryside near Bideford, The Hoops Inn offers a charming escape that feels both timeless and welcoming. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel like a valued guest rather than just a visitor. Their warmth, attentiveness, and genuine smiles set the tone for a truly relaxing stay. 🍽️ The food was a highlight. Each meal felt lovingly prepared, with hearty portions and rich flavors that celebrated local ingredients. Dinner in the historic dining room was a treat. 🛏️ My room was a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. Exposed beams, a cozy bed, and thoughtful touches like fluffy towels made it feel like a home away from home. The peaceful surroundings meant I slept soundly each night. 🌸 Whether you’re stopping by on a scenic road trip or seeking a quiet weekend retreat, The Hoops Inn delivers warmth, flavor, and character in equal measure. I left feeling nourished, rested, and already dreaming of my next visit.

The Hoops is a lovely country inn with extremely friendly and helpful staff. Our room was clean and comfortable especially the bed. A well stocked tray with tea, coffee, water and biscuits. Towling robes were also provided. Breakfast, lunch and dinner had good choices and the cooked food was delicious

My partner and I had a lovely welcome from the friendly bar lady. We were given room 12; mediocre, yet functional. Unfortunately it had a faint smell of urine emanating from the bathroom. The bed was clean and comfortable and the room had been heated well so we were not cold during a chilly October evening. Supper was great. I would recommend having a meal at the establishment. The bar staff are very friendly and the locals too. It has a sense of community about it which is a joy to see. Unfortunately our sleep was disturbed throughout the night. Firstly the doors slam shut and the noise resonates throughout the hall. Later at 2am, 4am & again at 6am we were listening to hotel workers moving some type of heavy object on wheels outside the grounds of the Inn. It is great to still see a working Inn, but at night when one needs to sleep is unacceptable. Breakfast is amazing. The variety and attention to dietary requirements / allergies. Service in the morning was excellent as it was the evening before. The staff there do a superb job. The Inn is a great place for entertaining. I would go again, but not to stay the night. One recommendation I would suggest is to place a jug of drinking water in the room. Tap water would suffice.

Sehr gutes Essen! Das Restaurant und die Bar sind gemütlich. Die Zimmer sind ok und passen zum Haus. Das Haus ist ein niedliches, schön bewachsenes altes Haus leider genau an einer Haupstraße, wo sonst nichts ist. Als Ausgangspunkt für weitere Fahrten ok. Das Hotel scheint familiengeführt zu sein. Sehr nettes Personal. Die Zimmer sind leider etwas hellhörig.

Great place to stay

Good quality food, friendly, welcoming staff. Plenty of parking and outside space.

Lovely room complete with great bathroom Staff very friendly 😃
