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.

Enjoyed a couple of nights at The Hoops for a weekend family get together. Excellent gastropub menu with huge portions for dinner and breakfast, comfortable superior room and super service, inside and outside in secluded beer garden. On a main road so front facing rooms a little noisy but not really a big issue in the overall scheme of things. Recommended.

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!
