    Discomfort of walking in town and distance from parking.

    Good breakfast. Good bar. Good service. Nice staff....a bit quirky - enjoyed them.

    Just one small point which was rather crucial at the time, but amusing in retrospect; there was very little lavatory paper left and no spare roll provided so it was necessary to go downstairs to ask a member of the staff to find another roll, urgently!

    The choice of food offered for breakfast would suit everyone; the menu for the cooked breakfast could be varied to order. The food was well cooked and well presented with little waiting time. The breakfast room was spacious and well furnished in keeping with the historic nature of the entire hotel. The location of The New Inn could not be better as it is in the heart of Clovelly; a guest has only to step outside onto the cobbles to experience the unique beauty of this ancient village.

    Just a recommendation on the breakfast , it would be good to have a fresh fruit choice as well as cereals, toast and the cooked breakfast.

    The location was perfect, in the middle of the village. I arrived in the dark, and it was a steep walk down the cobbled path to the hotel, but i was helped by the local villagers to find the way. Very authentic hotel , and a great little bar area. Really warm and cosy in the bedroom.

    We were given a room with a shared bathroom despite booking an en-suite. The owner didn't seem too bothered by this. Poor Internet connection for TV. Several light bulbs throughout property not working.

    Staff were helpful and friendly. Lovely location in picturesque village.

    Nothing to complain about. It was just not that easy to reach only because we arrived quite late in the day while it was raining. Carrying the bags for a few minutes in the dark on a slippery road wasn't great, but we've been repaid with the beautiful view of the location and the kindness of the staff

    The spot is pretty unique. The room was great, very clean with everything we needed

    Booked initially for one night, but loved it so much, ended up staying longer. A lovely place to stay in the heart of Clovelly. Stayed in November, so was quiet. Hotel is lovely - small and welcoming. Staff were friendly and helpful. Booked a standard room - small, but had everything we needed. A great base to explore Clovelly and surrounding areas. Evening meal in the restaurant was excellent. Will definitely return.

    I didn't quite expect the steepness and unevenness of the walk down to the Inn, but we made it fine and it ended up being my favorite place of the whole trip. My husband is about to have knee surgery, but he is in good shape so it worked out. We are 76 and 81. Most people our age could not do it, but I am very glad we did. These challenging places are the kind I like, so I will never regret that we stayed there. We couldn't seem to get fresh towels, although there was a stack of them and other things like toilet paper and coffee creamer to grab. I think they were short-staffed.

    Breakfast was great. The room was a little small, but I loved the balcony looking out on the main street. We liked the food at the restaurant and being able to pop in for a drink, although we had pretty much exhausted the menu after four nights. The Italian woman with dark hair was great as was Tonia who greeted us. We liked having the coastal trail above the village and walked on it every day.
