About The Hoops Inn & Country Hotel

If you are seeking the authentic flavour of the West Country then look no further. This picture-book Thatched Inn is nestled in some of Englands most unspoilt countryside. This lovingly cared for Grade 2 Listed Heritage Hotel under the personal supervision of Dee and Gerry Goodwin combines character, charm, courtesy & cuisine with the warmest of welcomes and generous hospitality. Set on the Atlantic Highway (A39), this Romantic Oasis is easy to find and the perfect base for both relaxation & recreation. The picturesque village of Clovelly, the jewel of the West country, is a few minutes drive or a delightful coastal walk away, while Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks are within easy reach. At the `Hoops` we pride ourselves on the extensive range and high quality of the food we provide. The menu is changed to accommodate seasonal specialities and is freshly prepared in our own kitchens using the best of garden & local produce. Guests can choose to dine in the candlelit restaurant, in the relaxed bars or, on balmy summer days, alfresco in the covered courtyard. There are a vast array of activities on the doorstep which can be enjoyed throughout the year such as golf, fishing, sailing, walking, surfing and cycling. In addition to the many historic houses, beautiful gardens & quaint coves & villages, The Hoops Inn has more than 8 acres of landscaped grounds for your enjoyment. More energetic walkers and birdwatchers can follow the steps of Henry Williamsons Otter on the Tarka Trail, take a trip to Lundy Island or ramble along the North Devon Coastal Path. This Thirteenth Century Inn is one of England's most famous, being notorious as the haunt of smugglers and a meeting place for seafarers such as Sir Francis Drake, Sir Walter Raleigh and Sir Richard Grenville. In Winter, relaxing by one of our inglenook fireplaces, warming yourself next to a blazing log fire you can imagine being transported back in time to a less complicated age. Today we welcome travellers from around the world and seek to provide an enchanting experience for our guests whilst they are with us and a warm memory when they leave.
