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.

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.

Great for an overnight stay. Plenty parking, but watch height restriction into main bit of carpark. Our room and I think most rooms, was away from bar area and road so not noisy. Really clean, good condition, great for an overnight stay, but standard room a bit small for an extended stay. Allow time for breakfast in the morning, great choice and cooked to order, worth the wait. Meal in bar in evening good. Staff all pleasant and helpful. Would stay here again and would recommend. Thank you to Hoops Inn.

We have stayed here many times and always found it to be excellent. Staff are friendly and always welcome our dog with cuddles and treats. However this time we did not enjoy staying in the family room which for two oldies was very noisy and outside lights in the yard on all night. Hasn’t put us off but will only book direct in future to ensure we get a room we want.

We’d definitely stay here again, really impressed
This is one of the best places we have stayed on our travels. It is an old thatched cottage style pub resplendent with some lovely original features. Walking in from the car park we loved the wisteria hung entranceway with outdoor tables and chairs. Our room was spacious with a good sized bathroom. It was clean and comfortable. I must admit if you sleep with the window open the road outside may disturb you but we kept it closed. We ate in the restaurant on the night of our stay and breakfast the following morning was in the restaurant. The serving staff were friendly and helpful, it has a lovely atmosphere and the food was excellent.

This is one of the best places we have stayed on our travels. It is an old thatched cottage style pub resplendent with some lovely original features. Walking in from the car park we were enamoured with the wisteria hung entranceway with outdoor tables and chairs. Our room was spacious with a good sized bathroom. It was clean and comfortable. I must admit if you sleep with the window open you may suffer from some road noise. We ate in the restaurant on the night of our stay. The serving staff were friendly and helpful, it has a lovely atmosphere and the food was excellent. Breakfast was in the restaurant the next morning, our full English breakfast went down a treat. Again really good food.
