November Walks with Henry & Hamish at The Fox and Hounds Country Hotel
Henry and Hamish have been enjoying the wonderful weather we've been having throughout November to make the most of their daily walks together. Even with the bit of overnight snow we had, today turned into another lovely crisp, sunny afternoon!
Perfect autumn day for a run around by the river with your best friend!
Day 2 & 3 of the November Devon Board Game Weekend with Whose Turn Is It Anyway Podcast and Devon Dice Podcast. Morning walks in the grounds, breakfast, games and day and late into the night on Saturday, and a hearty carvery on Sunday before sadly packing away. We all had another great weekend and look forward to the next one 7-9 March 2025!
Full details of the November event can be found on our event page.

Day 1 of November's Devon Board Game Weekend at The Fox & Hounds, with Whose Turn Is It Anyway Podcast and Devon Dice Podcast. Welcome and Event Dinner and we even got a few games in! Having a great time so far - Saturday and Sunday highlights to come!
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!
Getting Ready for Dog Friendly Bonfire Night
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!
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.

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!
