England, vom Feinsten
Pros:

Traditioneller englischer Pub mit urigerer Atmosphäre ohne angestaubt zu sein. Junges, freundliches, extrem fixes Personal . Vermittelt das Gefühl von Heimkommen nach einer Wanderung durchs Moor. Sehr hundefreundlich. Wir waren drei Tage dort und haben uns wahnsinnig wohl gefühlt.

Pros:

Le Fox and Hounds est bien localisé pour faire des balades dans le Dartmoor en partant directement de l'hôtel. Le petit déjeuner est très genereux. Les autres plats sont abordable. La chambre est spacieuse.

Cons:

La rue est tres passante, même la nuit.

Brilliant!
Pros:

Beautiful location, hotel spotlessly clean. Beer garden was well kept and relaxing. A range of beers on offer, very reasonably priced. Staff all very friendly and the breakfast was the best I have ever had. We are en route to Cornwall on holiday and this stay breaks the journey up. This was our third visit and we will be back next year. Thank you to the Fox and Hounds staff

Cons:

Some may say the room is a little dated, but it is in keeping with the charm of the historic building. It was very clean and the beds very comfortable. We brought our own fan as there wasn't one in the room. It is easy to pick fault in most things, but we loved our stay!
