With 13 en suite bedrooms available to choose from, guests have a choice of where to stay.

Perfect for a romantic weekend or just getting away from the hectic pace of everyday life.

The Hoops Inn has a well deserved reputation for fine food and drink and we are constantly working to develop and even improve on the fare we offer to our customers. We endeavour to use high quality local produce, such as locally reared meat, locally caught fish and locally produced cheese and beer (to name but a few examples) wherever possible.

Horns Cross is a tiny hamlet, straddling the boundary between the parishes of Alwington and Parkham, branching out from the cross roads on the A39 Atlantic Highway perfectly positioned midway between Bideford and the famous fishing village of Clovelly.

The Hoops Inn is surrounded by magnificent unspoilt countryside and is in walking distance of the rugged North Devon coast. Countryside pursuits are our speciality and we can offer you different routes to explore.
