Very friendly and helpful staff, excellent gardens, delicious menu, good bar.
The breakfast only starts at 8 - no good for visiting workers and the walk to the nearby beach is a bit of a nightmare.

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.
