Originally the estate was owned by William the Conqueror, King of England, gifted to his wife and then had many royal associations until 1242 when first acquired by the Giffard family. Until the middle of the 19th century Clovelly was unknown to the outside world. It was partly as a result of Charles Kingsley's 'Westward Ho!', set in and around the village, that visitors began to come.

The Hoops Inn has been a landmark on the main route from North Devon via Clovelly to Cornwall for as long as anyone can remember. In fact there has been a hostelry on this spot welcoming travellers to this beautiful and remote part of the English countryside since the 13th Century. Today, under the stewardship of the new owners Gerry and Dee Goodwin, The Hoops is still a beacon to both locals and visitors

Situated in Instow, overlooking the estuary and just 1.4 miles from Westward Ho! Beach, The Commodore Hotel features accommodation with a restaurant, free private parking, a bar and a garden. The accommodation offers a terrace, a 24-hour front desk, where staff can assist guests, as well as free WiFi throughout the property.
