We used the Inn for an overnight stay after visiting RHS Rosemore. It was very easy to get to on the A39 and had excellent free parking. The host called us in advance to see if we needed a table for dinner and gave us a warm welcome on arrival. The rooms were comfortable spacious and spotlessly clean. It is an old inn and some of the furnishings are a bit worn but seemed to be part of the ambience. Both dinner and breakfast were excellent and served in a friendly but efficient way. I would happily recommend to anyone not seeking a modern clinical hotel.

Had such a lovely time at the Hoops. All the staff were really friendly, we had an upgrade to our room which was really comfortable. Enjoyed eating and drinking in the bar, great choice of drinks and delicious food. Breakfast was outstanding, really good quality food. Will visit again. Thank you to the Hoops for transferring our booking due to the weather, we really enjoyed our stay with you.

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.
