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!

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.
