An overnight stay in room 2 which is directly above the bar and alongside the road however we still slept really well. The room was spacious and had a jacuzzi bath✅.
The staff were very friendly and helpful and the hotel was too.
We had our evening meal there and the food was terrific.
There is also a very pretty garden for some afternoon beers.
We will definitely be going back.

Arrived just before check room was ready
Staff did have to juggle between bar/ reception and serving meals so a little slow at times. Hubby was a bit disappointed with his lamb as had watched other people in the day getting bigger portions but tasted lovely.Anna was so helpful and Millie only saw her 1 evening but really helpful. Our dog was even given a sausage for breakfast lovely touch. The ladies cleaning the rooms were lovely.

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.
