Memorable stay at Hoops Inn
We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay. The room was clean and comfortable - a few hooks on doors and a grab handle to assist getting in and out of the shower would be helpful. Staff were all without exception delightful and extremely obliging and the food was superb. Breakfast was delicious with lots of choice and both evening meals were outstanding & better than anywhere else in the area! Huge compliments to all staff and the chef - we will be back for sure. Thank you!

Historic inn with great accommodation
Beautiful old inn that has been tastefully modernised. The bedroom and bathroom were spacious and comfortable. Excellent food and real ale available all day and evening. Surrounding countryside is stunning.

Great place
Lovely stay, friendly welcome and great food. Only very minor complaint was shower drain was blocked and didn't drain properly. Other than that, very happy with our stay.

Very friendly staff, great for dogs . Our room (2) was massive, so no shuffling around the bed as in a lot of places.
Food good too. The dog enjoyed her sausage for breakfast.

This is a very nice hotel in a secluded location. Very good food, good quality real ale and friendly staff made for an enjoyable stay. Only issue was forgotten as regards ordering evening meal, given menus but had to go to the bar to order.

Hoops Inn
My wife and I thought the hotel was excellent.
Our room was lovely and we even had a spa bath, which we took advantage of.
Only one small facility missing, a mini bar(Mainly for use as a fridge).
The service was excellent as was the fod.
The staff were friendly, helpful, professional and efficient.
Ib a few words, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
