Whoop Hall

Really was a hall once, but why “Whoop” (pronounced “hoop“)? It’s a mystery. Now a smart hotel with wide range of leisure facilities in the Whoop Hall Country Club. The bar is in the old hall (the old black-and-white facade can be seen at first- floor level): it is open-plan, modern-rustic with another room down a level with a pool table and a family table. Too remote to have many real locals, it’s inevitably a “destination” pub. Breakfast 7.30-11.
