Fox and Hounds Country Hotel is located in the glorious North Devon Countryside, perched on the River Taw amongst the scenic landscape of the Tarka Trail. The hotel offers a comfortable retreat to nature where you can enjoy the outdoor life amongst the surrounding natural beauty. Fox and Hounds boasts access to some of the best sports in the country and boasts rolling gardens that meet the riverbank, where on a lucky day you can find salmon leaping and otters frolicking. The hotel is one of the very few in the country that offers their own in-house Fly Fishing school, with full time AAPGAI instructors on hand for experienced fly fishing tutorials. For the more advanced angler, the lake is the perfect spot to perfect your casting and perhaps add a few more techniques. The Fox & Hounds Country Hotel has rooms with en-suite baths/showers and are all individually styled with antique furnishings. We are proud to be part of the AA, Essential Exeter and Devon Tourism Scheme and Visit Devon who only offer quality accommodation on their sites. There is WiFi access throughout the hotel. Our beauty room is owned and run by Prana Holistic Health and all the latest relaxation therapies are available to book direct with them. We have a croquet area in the summer months and our practice lake is suitable for all the family to try their hand at fishing. We have DVD players & PlayStation available to hire and irons are available to borrow when required. We offer fishing equipment for hire (pre booking advised) and bicycles can be rented at Barnstaple station.
