Thanks to everyone who came out to share in the fun of our Dog Friendly Bonfire Night. The weather was perfect and even the traffic closures in the area cooperated! It was lovely to see friends and neighbours and to meet some new faces. We all had a lovely evening and we hope you did too!

UPDATE. If you are coming to our dog friendly bonfire night tonight the Eggesford roadworks are open from Lapford/Crediton/Exeter direction! 🔥 🐕

Join us for a quiet night out at our Dog Friendly Bonfire Night at The Fox & Hounds Country Hotel on Tuesday 5th November from 6:30pm.

From what we've been able to tell, there shouldn't be too much in the way of fireworks displays in the immediate area, so we thought we'd have a little get together, where dogs can come along.

We're having a bonfire in our lower gardens and we'll have a little bit of warm food and some drinks available. There's no charge to come along and just a small charge for food & drink, if you want any, to help cover costs.

This is a family friendly and dog friendly event and we hope you'll be able to pop for an informal get together on Bonfire Night.

More information is available on our website at the address below. Please let us know if you're interested or planning to attend either through this event page or the form on our site, so we can plan for numbers. We hope to see you there!

Oreo is just checking on the progress of the bonfire burn pile to make sure it's perfectly dog friendly ahead of our Dog Friendly Bonfire Night on Tuesday 5 November. It's certainly got a lot of nice looking sticks! Marc, Jason and Nick have been working hard to get everything ready and we hope you'll be able to join us.

Ahead of our Dog Friendly Bonfire Night, neighbour Marc Price of All Terrain Flail & Vegetation Management came over with his amazing machine that seems to plough through anything and mulch it down to nothing. The lower field is looking great and we're building up the burn pile and getting everything ready for the 5th. We hope to see you there!

A big thank you to all the families who came out yesterday to do pumpkin carving at the Fox & Hounds. Our local youngsters really have some amazing creative talent! Lindsey, who organised the event was worried we'd run out of pumpkins, but we had one left over, so she got to carve one too!

Don't forget we have our Dog Friendly Bonfire Night coming up on the 5th of November. We hope to see you there and do please let us know if you're come so we can properly plan for numbers.

Late Season Sea Trout & Salmon on the River Torridge

Tom and Matt got over to the Torridge to fly fish for sea trout and salmon with guide Anthony Willmington and had a great afternoon on the river. Read the fully story here:

Well the mornings are getting chilly! So it's free refills for hot drinks every Tuesday at the Fox & Hounds. Take a stroll through the 6 acres of grounds on the River Taw then recharge with a refreshing hot pot of tea or a coffee. Don't forget to bring your hound. 🚶‍♂️ 🐕 ☕️

Hot summer days seem a distant memory at the Fox and Hounds but walking season has arrived. We're nestled in the Taw Valley. The Taw Valley runs for 30 miles. Straight through the heart of Devon. At Eggesford, steep sided valleys have been cut through the by the river. Presenting several great walks and fabulous views. All a short walk from the hotel through Eggesford or Heywood forest.

Explore on foot from the hotel or jump on the train at Eggesford station and explore the valley further afield. We're popular lunch and walk stop with train day visitors from Exeter and Barnstaple.

This morning at dawn the valley was stunning, despite the weather.

We've Had Some Rain!😃
Not something that we ever thought we'd be happy to announce but the recent rains brought the river levels up over a foot which we desperately needed for the fishing. The colour is now falling and visibility is around 16-18". We were out yesterday evening looking for sea trout and salmon when the vis was only 3 or 4" and still managed half a dozen brownies punching above their weight on the big flies. Fingers crossed for a very strong finish to the season which ends 30 September. Give us a call if you like to come for some fishing while the river is in its prime!

Getting Ready for Dog Friendly Bonfire Night

Lucky enough to spot this little guy down on the River Taw near the hotel while out for an evening fish. In the past few weeks we've spotted otters, kingfishers and herons - all while having the best season's fishing in years. Hopefully this points to a healthy ecosystem returning - and it certainly makes for some wonderful days out on the river!

May and June can offer some of the best fishing of the year on Devon Rivers. Our Fishing Break package offers anglers Dinner, Bed & Breakfast in a small double room plus fishing ticket for just £159. We’re less than 3 hours from London by train, so catching the 12:03 from Paddington could see you on the river by mid-afternoon! Fishing tickets can also be added to any stay. For more information visit https://foxandhoundshotel.co.uk/offers/

Tom proves you can catch lovely brown trout in the middle of a sunny, beautiful day as he releases this great looking fish just a few minutes ago on one of our many beats on the River Taw. The river is in perfect condition and the whole of the valley is in bloom, with the smell of wild garlic in the air. A perfect day to be out!

Nanny Bird wishing everyone a very merry Christmas this morning.

Fun at the Fox!
