Overview
The Fox & Hounds Country Hotel is a renovated 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.
Dartmoor and Exmoor national parks are less than an hour's drive away, as is the city of Exeter. It's a 25-minute drive to RHS Garden Rosemoor (open year round). 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).
The restaurant specialises in classic British cuisine 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 overlook the garden with views of Heywood Forest and Eggesford Church.

The food was superb. The staff, although not many of them, were excellent. They were attentive, professional, polite and friendly. Room was bigger than expected with private outside courtyard. Room very comfortable with SuperKing sized bed. All very good.

This is a very dog friendly hotel. I am not sure I like the dogs being allowed in the restaurant but this was our only negative concern. Having said that all the owners were very careful to keep their dogs under control.
