    Bed was too soft for my preference, but you can suit everyone.

    My second stay at the New Inn... Stayed in the fantastic room 8 which has a little balcony overlooking the main Street. Staff are all lovely, food is very good, even got a free cat at breakfast which I would've happily paid for. A lovely period hotel with bags of charm.

    The staff were fabulous and worked very hard. The rooms were lovely. All that is needed is to update public areas. Bar and restaurant. Have to say breakfast was excellent. Overall we had a lovely time.

    Beautiful location. We live locally and visit twice a year. First time at the New Inn. It was lovely and the staff tried very hard during a very busy time

    We would have liked the menu to have had more specials as the menu stayed the same. Most things had chips and as we were there for 5 days jacket potato or other alternatives would have been great. Salads maybe. Although they did adapt a few meals for us and the meals they did do were excellent. I love the fish pie with a crust top.

    Very friendly in a beautiful location with good food

    We found no lounge area to relax in there was only food tables everywhere and as a resident you had to sit on damp wooden tables outside

    The views are exceptional and it had lovely quaint rooms, lovely decor and the team was very good especially an older male who was constantly clearing tables and asking if you were ok

    I didn’t realise I had no en-suite. Booking.com need to be more specific “budget room with shared bathroom “. The other couple we met had the same issue. Very scattered reception service. None on arrival . Also anyone with mobility issues would not be able to stay here. Property could have told us to take small bag for one night.

    Beautiful little town really unusual. We stumbled on a lovely festival on Sunday with plenty of craft stalls and 2 great bands. The weather even stayed good. We were amazed at 5pm when everyone disappeared. The atmosphere in the restaurant and bar was great. Really enjoyed the evening

    Decor looks a little tired and bath and shower combination a little basic, but this is an old inn in a unique pedestrian only location

    The hotel have squeezed pub tables in what should be a terrace area for the room. With no double glazing, the noise of those sat on those tables felt like they were in our room with us. The noise stopped at 10.30pm. I think we should have been warned about the particular room we had.

    Not much accommodation here so we were pleased to get a room.

    The hotel and area are beautiful. Just a suggestion. When we checked in we weren't told about the time of breakfast, WiFi, restaurant or bar service or that someone could help with our cases on check out if we left them at reception before 0930. This would have been helpful or if the visitor centre could give more help with this. If I visited again, I would bring a smaller case, as it is quite a distance down the cobbles.

    We were given a balcony, which was requested and accommodated. Early check in. Room with ensuite. Lovely bar and restaurant. Nice evening meals in the restaurant with friendly and attentive staff. Central in Clovelly. Comfy bed, excellent night sleep. Free WiFi and Smart TV. Lots to see in the area. Nice walks.

    We had a meal there but the food was poor and they staff where a little laid back maybe inexperienced I’m not sure but we waited ages for food , we’d booked and they then admitted they’d given our table away and the food was poor

    Just the lack of en_suites, but it’s an old building.

    Lovely clean hotel, although the facilities were basic. Think posh hotel from the 50’s. Bathrooms are at the end of the corridor, not many with en-suite. The bar/restaurant is cosy and the food and ale is good.

    Budget Rooms share 2 bathrooms and a separate toilet. It does mention it on the booking from, just make sure you don’t mind sharing.

    Hotel felt a little like an upmarket hostel catering mostly to walkers (like me) which was fine but for the a me money elsewhere you get en suite facilities etc it’s a captive market but they work hard and do what they do very well.

    Lovely building, beautiful location. Great staff. We had dealings with four individual members and they were all very lovely and very competent. Excellent restaurant.
