About The Fox and Hounds Hotel
Six rooms are all this coaching inn needs to keep things simple: The Fox and Hounds Hotel in Bridestowe, near Lydford, is a small, traditional pub-hotel rather than a sprawling resort, and it makes a virtue of that scale. Each room comes with its own en-suite bathroom, and free WiFi is available throughout for anyone who needs to stay connected between walks or rides.
Downstairs, the restaurant and bar form the heart of the place, with a snack bar and kids' meals covering lighter appetites and breakfast served to set guests up for the day. There's a garden and outdoor seating for fine weather, and drinks can be brought to the room for a quieter evening in. Pets are welcome, which suits a base built around the surrounding countryside.
Lydford and the wider Devon countryside around Bridestowe are well suited to cycling and walking, and the hotel sits within easy reach of other pubs, bars and restaurants for those who fancy exploring further afield. Free on-site parking is provided, making it a straightforward stop for anyone touring the area by car.
