Overall this olde worlde inn gets a 8 out of 10. We stayed 3 nights and ate in the restaurant every night. We had room 7 a large airy room with everything you could wish for including 2 queen sized beds. There was a very laid back atmosphere which also included the speed of service, but the staff were all... more

I stayed in Room 9, pictured and mentioned here preiously. Since then the place has been completly refurbished to a good standard and was one of the nicer rooms I have stayed in being modern but with character unlike a lot of bland chain hotels. The hotel has lots of interesting nooks and a cosy little back bar with imaginative... more

Difficult to rate between Terrible and Okay ....... A group of family friends booked 5 rooms whilst we attended a family wedding over a weekend. Some arrived on the Friday, some on the Saturday. As a group in our fifties with some children as well, we are mature people who enjoy each others company. The first group met up after... more

We booked this inn on laterooms.com as it was amazing value for money at £45 b&b. I checked the reviews on Tripadvisor and went ahead. The room was good, freeview tv, no shower but a welcome written apology and given the holiday season they couldn't have attended to the problem sooner. The jacuzzi bath was great. Staff were good, food,... more

The building is a period thatched house containing the main bar, the restaurant area and some of the bedrooms. There is a modern extension at the rear where... more

My son and I went to the Hoops Inn for a couple of nights over New Year 2008. We had an amazing time - the food was extraordinary, the wine list was brilliant, we have never had service like it. The room was newly refurbished (some photos have been post a couple of years ago of room 9 - need... more

My wife and I have just returned from a 2 day break at The Hoops. We stayed in one of the superior rooms, and the room was gorgeous with a separate bathroom and canopied bed. The whole place exceeded our expectations. The environment was very homely and comfortable. The staff could not do enough for you and were always courteous.... more

We booked the Mallow Suite, a superior room for a treat. Two of the three radiators didn't work and it was freezing. Staff at reception bordering on insulting -are you sure you switched them on? The room smelt damp -and was damp. Patches of mould on the walls, bathroom and curtain linings. (they looked like they had never been cleaned... more
