A superb location in Clovelly. The staff were particularly helpful and friendly and ensured we had a great holiday.

Amazing location. The hotel is 18th century with period features. Our room was en-suite, with tea/coffee making facilities, smart tv and good Wi-Fi. Breakfast was great - full English plus other options. Dietary restrictions could be catered for at breakfast and in the bar/restaurant. Although it was low season there were a few shops and a cafe open during the day. We saw porpoises just off the harbour!

It’s a steep walk up/down to the hotel with no vehicular access, so travel very light and wear a pair of good non-slip shoes. Not suitable for anyone with mobility issues.

Staff were very welcoming and our room was nice, clean and tidy. Extra tea, coffee etc were freely available if required. All food served was very nice.

Perhaps a better mattress would have prevented us from feeling like we were rolling together and sleeping on an angle.

Food was excellent, staff friendly and fab location.

On arrival we found the hotel covered in scaffolding and whilst we appreciate work has to be done feel we should have been notified prior to Arriving. Bathroom not as luxurious as described, poor shower with water barely coming out.

This is the third time we have stayed at The New Inn and we were disappointed with our room this time round. We were on the opposite side of the road to the main pub which is where the staff live, and the room we had was very tired. The carpets were very stained and marked, the curtains didn't close and the bathroom blind also didn't work! The breakfast was great, however the choice of food in the restaurant was far more limited than previous years and much more expensive, hence we ate at the other restaurant in Clovelly the second night as it was much better quality and cheaper!!!!

Hotel and breakfast was great. We really struggled with our bags so use of a hotel sledge would have been very useful. Would not have stayed longer as food choice in both hotels was quite limited and we didn't get travelzoo discount on food but had s lovely break and have recommended to family already.

john and wife are great attributes to the Inn and made our stay. Evening meals are expensive all circa #19 when we visited. However, most are more than enough to fill you and the Fish and Chips are particularly large.

When we arrived there was no staff to check in and instructions to fill out all your paperwork and keys left on a desk to go find your room ??? Building is tired and needs desperate renovation. Avoid plastic cheap sausages for breakfast. A jumble sale of cutlery and crockery in breakfast room !

Second visit and still finding new things to explore. Hotel very friendly, excellent breakfast and restaurant. A very special village, privilege to stay here.

The only positive thing I can think of about this room was the shower which was at least hot

Our room wasn't in the main Hotel building but in a separate building across the cobbles. It was a cold, shabby miserable room with broken furniture and the thinnest duvet (we had to spread our coats on top of the bed at night). I went through the seat of the rattan chair not realising it was broken. The bathroom was also very cold and bare with the tiniest heated towel rail. Reception didn't seem concerned when I told them how disappointed I was with our room and the dodgy chair. A local told me that the rooms in that building were usually only used for people passing through eg hikers. I bought this voucher based on the pictures and reviews on the New Inn website most of which were favourable but I'm guessing we were given the room which had received the terrible reviews. We've had quite a few Travelzoo hotel breaks , all of which have been really good but this one fell well short of the mark. I'm sure the rooms in the main hotel were probably fine but we obviously drew the short straw. So for anyone booking at this hotel - AVOID ROOM 21 !! Very very disappointed!!

enjoyed the break - landlady superb

few improvements could be made

Hotel is conveniently located in the village. It was clean and tidy. The food was good and well presented. The Staff were helpful, efficient, and eager to please.

Really wonderful staff (John & Corol) made us very welcome. Super friendly and helpful. Great breakfast. Ate one night in the restaurant- very good food - fish & chips - and great value for money

We had a wonderful weekend - enjoyed every minute

Great location and luckily with good weather.New Inn is ideally located and staff very friendly.We enjoyed our stay and visiting the surrounding area.

Lovely young lady called Purdy seemed to be everywhere at once and did a grand job. Don’t take too much luggage because you can’t drive to the hotel. Very steep drop down but beautiful and a much slower pace of life as a steepness of the paths means you have to walk slowly!

We had a great breakfast and also to reasonable evening meals. Gorgeous walk straight from the village. All in all the beautifully relaxing two days.

It was a magical experience in such an atmospheric place. The staff (especially Purdy) were so helpful and it was easy and so relaxed. I could not fault it all for value, location and the friendliness of all the locals we encountered. So much to do without getting into the car. We are hoping to return very soon.

The New Inn needs to stay as it is, full of quirky character and timelessness. It so fits Clovelly.

Unique village

Lovely location, clean nice rooms, tasty breakfast & really friendly staff

excellent value for money

We had a lovely room with a sea view and bath as requested. We were booked in my the bar manager - who was really the only member of staff we saw and complained all the time about how many hours he was working.

The cream tea - was in a polystyrene box in our room - a little disappointing - also difficult as the only place to eat it was on the bed. The evening meals were basic pub food but not cheap and cheerful.

We (like a lot of other people I imagine) were desperately in need of a break and this deal came up at exactly the right time. The very friendly staff welcomed us warmly and nothing was too much trouble for them. Our room was spacious and spotless with a little balcony but sadly we couldn't sit on it as it was so cold (it was February!) We dined there both nights of our stay and the food was delicious. Had we been a bit younger and fitter, a walk down to the harbour would have been the icing on the cake but not possible for our 76+ year old arthritic knees so we just slowly strolled uphill and visited the Clovelly walled gardens and church (both beautiful) and back for our delightful cream tea. A much needed and welcome break, made even better by the glorious views, sunshine and John and Corals care of us.

The New Inn was very dated, shabby in some places. We had paint peeling off the walls in our room.

Very nice

We booked for a 2 night break with son and daughter in law and 2 dogs. Could not have been a nicer break. The building is historic so there were minor drawbacks like small bedrooms - but that did not matter! Staff were fabulous and could not do enough. Food was sensational - breakfasts were best I have had in a hotel - if it wasn't on the menu, they would try and do it for you. Dinner was equally great with a good selection cooked to perfection. Idyllic spot, only drawback the wear and tear on the knees going up and down the cobbles! Wonderful hotel and break - will definitely be back.

They go above and beyond! Lovely Clovelly, Lovely Hotel, lovely people.

Lovely experience, great food and cream tea

Just remind people to only take a lightweight amount of luggage

Early in March was a good time to go as it wasn’t too busy and the spring flowers were out, however, a number of the attractions such as the shop, tea rooms, fisherman’s cottage museum were closed. What made it special for us was that everyone had time to talk and be friendly, residents of Clovelly and visitors alike.

Enjoyed our stay, room was clean & comfortable.

Staff were friendly & tended to all our needs.

Fantastic hosts John and Coral. Corals home made meals were excellent. They are an asset to the hotel! Excellent location, Room 2 had a wonderful sea view and window seat, bright , airey and clean, particularly bedding and towels. The hotel is in need of an update and wouldn’t be what we would normally choose, however, the hosts and cleanliness made it a really lovely stay! Fantastic value with the Travelzoo voucher

Quirky

Travel from the car to the hotel ‘light baggage ‘ a very steep hill !

Fabulous location and view. Very attentive and welcoming hosts.

Would recommend the hotel, comfortable and warm, our room Room 2 had lovely sea views,

The only down point is the cobbled steep walk down from the car park, wear sturdy walking boots, I didn't and twisted my knee badly.

Fantastic place to visit. Clovelly is one of a kind. Off season, so non of the tourist spots were open, but we had a lovely time. We drove around the area and visited a lot of local villages. Hartland Quay is incredible. The offer was great value for money.

Great landlord and landlady. They went over and above for some special needs visitors.

Lovely stay, really friendly staff, good food overall very enjoyable

It was a great location to explore the ancient village of Clovelly.

We had a great time. Our hosts, Coral, John and Purdy did a fantastic job of making us feel welcome. We'll be back!

For our two days stay, menu was adequate but pricey, rooms clean and tidy. We're No longer used to a small TV. Being February, a bit short on staff.

Lovely cosy room & comfy bed. Great breakfast. Evening meal excellent. Walking more of coast path, great base.

Stayed several times before. New management has certainly improved catering & service. Thank you.

John made us feel very welcome had a lovely relaxed time. Food was delicious.

Excellent hospitality and service, super dog friendly. Perfectly equipped clean room and good pub grub, breakfast and cream tea

Lovely staff, they really couldn't do enough for you. Cream tea was good. Rooms are dated and could do with a spruce up. This was our second visit, so feel we've seen everything Clovelly has to offer.
