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.
