Overview
The Fox & Hounds Country Hotel is a former coaching inn set in six acres of picturesque grounds in the North Devon countryside.
There are lots of walking routes nearby, including the Tarka Trail, the Two Moors Way and the South West Coast Path, and the hotel has maps and trails for guests to use.
The hotel's gardens extend down to the River Taw, and the property offers a 5-mile stretch of salmon and trout fishing. There's also an on-site fishing school. Guests can try falconry, horse riding and shooting on site (charges apply), while DVD players and fishing equipment are available to hire (supplements apply; pre-booking advised).
Dartmoor and Exmoor national parks are half an hour's drive away, as is the city of Exeter. It's a 25-minute drive to RHS Garden Rosemoor (open year round).
The restaurant specialises in classic British cuisine made using local Devon ingredients, and the bar offers three local ciders and a number of real ales.
Rooms are spacious and feature antique French furniture. The rooms at the back have views over the garden to Heywood Forest and Eggesford Church.

In countryside, peaceful, food great, staff friendly and everything clean. Hotel is in the middle of nowhere, so it’s a 40 minute drive to coast in either direction, so not so much a base for exploring. Great walks though around Chumleigh. Had a fantastic Indian in Chumleigh Tandoori, meal at hotel one evening was great.

Rather remote location. We did not like the fact that dogs were allowed in the dining room. Not very hygienic.
