Just a scenic train ride from Barnstaple to Eggesford the Fox & Hounds Country Hotel is a beautiful venue on the River Taw surrounded by forest and with a warm and friendly atmosphere.
The bar serving food, real ales and ciders all day shows pictures from the hotel’s past as a coaching in and features wonderful animal portraits from Devon artists. Our light and airy restaurant with its’ Garden Terrace overlooks the grounds extending down to the River.
We have 16 individually furnished en-suite bedrooms all fitted with French Antiques and offering large comfy beds.
Our Head Chef Alex sources all the ingredients locally and we are one of the few kitchens approved to supply Exmoor beef – known for its quality. Our bar menu features English classics done to perfection and our homemade Proper Steak and Kidney Pudding with hand cut Proper chips has legendary status.
Our Sunday carvery is incredibly popular and a stroll down the river will help walk off our fabulous real Rice Pud with Nutmeg. Don’t miss our Sunday Jazz lunch with the Steve Tucker All Stars on the last Sunday of every month – early booking advised.
