Fox & Hounds Hotel

A brilliant hotel. A really pleasant location, and a very picturesque building. We stayed for one night in August. The room was very nice, not modern, but definitely in keeping with the hotel itself. Very comfortable bed, and a nice, clean bathroom. We had dinner at the hotel, and a varied menu was available. The food was delicious, and reasonably priced. The staff were all excellent, very friendly and helpful. The breakfast menu was not as expansive as some hotels, but the full English was of a very high quality. We had a great stay, and will definitely return.

We’ve just stayed at this lovely old hotel for one night on our way to Cornwall. On booking we worried we wouldn’t arrive before closing but were assured a key would be left. Extremely friendly staff. Clean room with all you need and the most delicious breakfast. We will definitely be returning.

Brilliant experience, excellent value and exactly what we were looking for. The most dog friendly place we've ever stayed at, the staff were brilliant, accommodation topnotch and breakfast really done well. We stayed for two nights supporting the Ten Tors event and will definitely come again if the opportunity arises.

We stayed at The Fox and Hounds in September 2023. Booked via a popular booking site, we paid £75 for B&B for 1 night, double room with shared bathroom. Upon arrival we parked up in the car park next to the pub. Plenty of spaces available. Warm welcome by the landlord as we entered and were checked in quickly and efficiently. A warning about low beams was given (it’s a very old property!) and we found our way to the room up some narrow stairs (and the low beam). Room was pretty small but functional, with a double bed, wardrobe and kettle. Tea and coffee but no decaf or biscuits. Turned on the tiny TV and no channels picked up, even with retune. Mentioned this to the landlord but he didn’t seem too concerned. Also the WiFi code provided didn’t work and with very little mobile signal it was difficult to keep in touch with family. The shared bathroom was functional but very dated too. On a positive note, we went down to the bar for food and drink. Drinks were very reasonably priced and food was delicious, served quickly and efficiently. Breakfast the next morning was also well presented, with different size portions available to suit appetites. Check out was quick and easy too, everything paid in advance. We left with mixed feelings. Great food but let down by tired room and a lack of care for the facilities. If you’re looking for a simple accommodation on Dartmoor then this hotel is great, but if wanting more comforts then maybe look to pay a little more at an alternative venue.

Room very clean and beds comfortable. Evening meal was very tasty and the homemade Chicken Liver Pate is the best i have ever had, will have 2 next time. Breakfast was very filling and again tasty. Tea and Coffee was good as well, no nasty bitter taste to the coffee.

The service and the staff at this hotel were, lovely, helpful and very welcoming. They were very accomodating by storing our bikes in a safe place. The food in the pub/restaurant was excellent both for evening meal and breakfast. The room was very dated but that being said it had everything we needed and it was clean. The value of the room was excellent as well and I would definitely recommend this place, even if it's just to stop and have a friendly pint.
