"We do not have a dog but enjoyed the company of other people's. Staff and clients friendly. Enjoyed taking the train just a few minutes walk from the hotel to different places along the Tarka line."
The Fox and Hounds welcomes dogs in all areas, including guest rooms and the restaurant. The six acres of grounds has designated off-leash areas. Send pictures of your four-legged friends enjoying their stay to join the hotel's Pet Gallery.
The property is on the Tarka Trail and sits on the River Taw. Amidst Forestry Commission land, you're surrounded by miles of off-road wooded walks to enjoy. Here are some nearby dog-friendly walks.

It was a good deal but a cosy room meant you could not open the bedroom door without knocking the bed. Staff were very helpful but Hotel is in need of refurbishment.
Not much choice at breakfast for GF except cooked breakfast, no fruit or GF cereal or bread.
Grounds are lovely.

I visited with two dogs and the Fox and Hounds is VERY dog friendly. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the staff cannot do enough for you!

This is my first time travelling solo, as I'm a widow. Also with two dogs I was a little nervous but the Fox and Hounds made me feel so relaxed and welcome.
I recommend them fully, especially to any solo dog owners!

Mum and I really enjoyed our stay here, the staff are so kind and nothing was too much trouble. Thanks again boys for all your help.
Our dinner the first night was delicious, loved the wood burner for a relaxing drink by.
Breakfast was fine and we enjoyed the afternoon tea.
Our room- we paid an upgrade of £20 per night faced the garden and was very comfortable. Beautifully decorated and very quiet.
The river walk was very relaxing, probably not long enough for us but there's plenty of walks a short drive away.

The location was brilliant if a bit challenging to get to. The food at the hotel is top notch, but selection is limited. It is very close to the train station for access to Exeter. We didn't know and that would have been good to know. Overall, the only negative points about the stay was the beds - the mattresses and pillows are in dire need of replacement. Overall 6.5/10 - replacing the mattresses and pillows would make it an 8/10 and just a few more food options would be great and make it 8.5/10.

We were blown away by the excellent quality and quantity of the afternoon tea; which came with our TravelZoo deal.
Our room was fabulous complete with a 4 poster double bed, but our relatives who were in the 'Cosy' rooms did find them to be just that!!
We would certainly intend to return in future....

We had a wonderful time with our dog. Stayed 2 nights in a small bedroom, which was charming, and had a big en-suite bathroom, where we could put up our dog’s soft cage. Very relaxing time with lovely walks nearby. Saw dippers by the river Taw at the back of the hotel. Great atmosphere and good food (breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner) and a good choice of drinks from the bar.

The staff were, in the main, excellent. Big shout out to Tegan, she was so personable and helpful. Not so much so the bar-staff.
Not sure the cost upgrade to 'superior' was actually value for money.
The hotel location/grounds were wonderful - the autumn leaf-change was in full effect and was stunning, who needs New England when old England does it so well!

Very limited (and costly) restaurant menu.

Great if you have a dog/dogs as they are very welcome there with towels to dry them, doggy treats, a bowl with a treat in in your room and welcomed everywhere. Good outdoor space for them too. Tea and coffee in the room plus biscuits.
The cream tea was a nice scone and a cup of tea/coffee. Breakfast was good and contrary to other reviews was hot. The staff were all very friendly.
Had a problem with the TV in the room it buffered even with the basic BBC and ITV channels, couldn’t pick up any free view channels. Only watching it as it was pouring with rain and had been all day.
Evening meal was had there and that was good though a tad pricey. A car trip to get anywhere

Good hotel, we booked as very dog friendly and was exactly that .
Rooms are nice but a little tired need modernising but clean and comfortable.
I didn’t feel out room was worth the extra we paid for ‘superior’ but would return . Food was very good also .

Two night stay.Excellent hotel if you have a dog. Food in restaurant is very good. Good location and extensive grounds. Plenty of free parking. Excellent breakfast and good afternoon tea. Certainly good value especially with the Travelzoo offer.
Other Comments
The room was of a good standard. Very comfortable bed. The bathroom was good. The only negative comment regarding the room is that the walls are very thin therefore if the guests in the neighbouring rooms are noisy (as ours were …tv, loud speech and heavy snoring!) then quality sleep is very difficult.

All the staff were friendly, Tom was accomodating when we enquired about having lunch, fitting us in without any fuss. He was helpful in anything we asked about.
The rooms and parts of the hotel were a little tired but everywhere was very clean. The hotel is very dog friendly and provided for. There are lovely walks in the grounds and a spectacular tree house. Great for a stop over with your dog en route to Cornwall or a dog weekend!

Room 10 was quite tired and could do with a refurb, perhaps with slightly smaller furniture to allow seating for 2 people. The staff could not have been more helpful

Large, clean comfortable rooms and very dog friendly. Set in 6 acres of country side with the River Taw running through ensures plenty of pleasant strolls with a dog. The food was well cooked and very tasty and served by very friendly staff. Altogether a lovely experience and we would certainly come again, perhaps next time with grandchildren as an excuse to sta in the magnificent tree house.

This is a lovely hotel in a pleasant setting and it would be hard to fault our stay, but what makes the stay here top rate is the tight knit team that staff it. They are friendly, hospitable and kind and a real credit to the hotel and the sign of a happy, motivated and well led crew.. Highly recommended

The hotel is very dog friendly and ensures dogs are well catered for with bowls and treats, understanding that a dog is part of the guests' family, which helps everyone relax and enjoy the stay so much more.

Easy to find, pleasant welcome, cosy room, decent afternoon tea, lovely grounds, superb dinner - congrats to the chef and team, this was cooking of a standard far above the quality we were expecting. If you have an antipathy towards dogs, probably don't come - most guests take advantage of the hotel's very dog-friendly status. Lots of good forest walks in the vicinity. Car probably necessary although there is a train station very close.

We were worried that with the obviously ancient heating in our room, the fairly lightweight quilt, and the very cold night forecast, we might be cold in bed. So in the afternoon we asked for an extra blanket. An hour later there was a knock on the door and a member of staff had brought an extra quilt. It was absolutely un-necessary in the event - sorry to staff!

It was the best experience ever. From start to finish out every need was met with amazing friendly staff. Our room was outstanding luxury! The food in the restaurant was Michelin star quality. The bar was warm and friendly and we could have stated all day and evening. Dogs were as welcome as the guests, probably even more so, if that was possible! Can’t wait to return.
