Exceptional location on the very special main street of this stunning village. The room and bed were super comfortable and the breakfast was excellent.

On arrival the staff seemed to have no idea about our booking. Communication beforehand had been non existant and none of my questions had been answered. When we were finally allocated our room we found there was scaffolding outside and workmen were literally working outside our room, making a lot of noise. Nobody had prewarned us about this. The lighting in our room was unsatisfactory. No main light and a reading light only on one side of the bed. This light was not very bright, so reading in bed was not really possible. A big disappointment.

Beautiful quaint village setting staying in the village is a great experience Getting to walkabout when it's closed, no crowds, meeting the locals was good finding out about fishing and living in the village. Hotel is full of history and interesting furniture and pieces. Food was excellent freshly cooked on ordering breakfast. Dinner offering local food and fresh fish. Staff friendly, laid-back village vibes ☺️ Local cheese and biscuits good recommendation Tearoom in the village is absolutely perfect cream tea delicious with amazing views. Definitely visit the village again If you visit wear sensible shoes and be able bodied as cobble street all the way.

Scaffolding surrounded the hotel and other homes would have been nice to be warned before arriving but needs to be done. Showerhead support broke and balcony door handle came off in my hand both reported. Maybe a 'steady' repair one day😉 Basic room, only a net curtain on the balcony door so awake early. Balcony needs some attention. Accommodation is overpriced especially when we are told at checkout breakfast was extra!! But the experience of the village, traditional looks and services made the visit worthwhile

Lovely old, authentic guesthouse/hotel and pub in the unique private village of Clovelly on the North Devon coast in southwest England, UK. A large building on several levels, with a pub/bar, where evening meals are available for a price downstairs and rooms on the upper floors. Breakfast is served on the ground floor. Very friendly and helpful staff who made our one-night stay so welcoming and comfortable. They helped us back to the top of the steep and cobbled High Street to the bus stop the following morning. Our cosy double en-sute room was delightful, comfy bed with lots of bedding and pillows. small table on each side of bed. Thick carpet under foot. Free WiFi in room, free bath and hand towels. Tea/coffee in room with kettle and milk/sugar, plus 2 drinking glasses. Small bathroom with toilet, sink and shower. Desk with one char. One armchair. Large windows with views of the village. Very cosy guesthouse, would visit and stay again. Stone cottages all over the unique village. Cobbles not easy to walk on and the street is extremely steep. No vehicles can go up/down street. Car park by visitor centre at top of village. Public bus from Barnstaple every 2 hours or so. No buses on Sundays.

Lots of steps/stairs in guesthouse, steps down to the bar/restaurant. Steps up to the bedrooms. No lift/elevator. Very poor phone signal throughout the village.

It was casual, fun, bed very comfortable, staff kind, generous, room super clean and simple. All perfect. Maybe bring your own coffee maker and fresh milk for the morning if you (like me) are desperate for a good coffee first thing. The town is not at all commercial so good to pack accordingly. 😉

Nothing not to like. Felt strong after climbing that cobbled street! Locals use a sledge. Maybe pack a sheet of cardboard or one of those huge builders sacks so you can slide your luggage after you down the steep hill.

Breakfast was a full English breakfast which consisted of a continental followed by a choice from the cooked menu or the hot choice of the day

We were unaware that the Inn was doing repairs to the balcony , this completely obscured the view. After we booked, We were told that there was no longer a seaview room available, but not that the room was the same, and that the.scaffolding was why the view was no longer there. To only discover this when we turned into the street was a disappointing way to start our stay.

Location. Size of the room and en suite bathroom. Staff were really friendly and helpful and very welcoming to our dog! Breakfast was nice and there was a good selection.

There was seating for use of guests immediately outside our bathroom window and despite the window panes being obscured it was still possible to see silhouettes of people outside when inside the bathroom and to see the silhouette of the plant on the bathroom windowsill from the outside. This was a little disconcerting when using the toilet! Possible a curtain or other screen would be nice to have and provide a bit more privacy.

Clovelly is the most beautiful village we visited in Devon and we were very lucky to have stayed for a few days. At the top of the road leading to the village there are sledges designed to carry laggages to the village (I advise you not to take many luggages, not like my husband and I did :)) The parking is easy to access from the village, within walking distance - this is a village ideal for hikers and people who like a little bit of exercise. 😀 The village itself is breathtaking and full of history and culture. We loved the abundance of plants and flowers on the pathway and outside the houses. The New Inn Hotel is not an exception. Quite the opposite, it blends very well with the whole picture of the village. We received room 8, the cosiest room in the hotel with a very beautiful view and a lovely balcony. Breakfast was very filling and with many options. The inn has a restaurant with delicious food. The staff was very helpful and kind. Go for walks down the cobblestones and reach the harbour. You won't regret it. :)

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 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!

Clovelly is a lovely and unique place to stay and with limited accommodation the New Inn is a suitable place to stay for a few nights. The room was spacious and we booked a room with ensuite which had a great shower. As you can appreciate everything is very very old so the rooms are a little tired looking but in saying that they have everything you need for a short stay. Dinner at the pub downstairs was nice.

We really enjoyed our stay - the hotel is like a time capsule, capturing the essence of a quintessential tiny village olde worlde lodging. Fabulous attentive friendly staff and great care was taken with meet my vegan dietary needs. We would definitely recommend to friends and in fact already have - just make sure you take only the lightest bag / case from the car park at the top where you leave your car - it is a steep wobbly cobble walk - great for your daily steps but better without a heavy suitcase.
