    Nothing to dislike really.

    A very warm and very friendly atmosphere. The food was of a very good standard and served quite quickly. The location was perfect for us, a good central location for the places we planned to visit. Also being on the edge of the moor gave easy access to Dartmoor for walks.

    Poor check in at the bar on a Sunday. No real information given other than handed the key for the room. Had to leave at 0745 to get to a meeting so couldn't get breakfast. Only told as was leaving that we could have ordered a packed meal beforehand.. Desperatley needs an experienced manager to oversee the young, but keen, staff. Suspect it's because it's the low season. Hopefully the service will improve as it gets busier.

    Good location for the moor. Good parking. Friendly staff. Very dog friendly.

    There was nothing we didn't like. The only suggestion would be to have cereal and fruit juice to help yourself to while waiting for the cooked breakfast.

    Breakfast was cooked lovely. The girls behind the bar who served us were all really nice and welcoming.

    I couldn't get hot water in the sink in the morning but the electric shower worked fine. I was disappointed with the cooked breakfast.

    Good parking. Room was very big & comfortable if a little dated, however the bed was very comfy & the price was very good indeed. WiFi was ok. Lovely porridge & excellent coffee with frothed milk.

    only an observation not a 'didn't like' as it really was outstanding value, but Just three hangers in the wardrobe, could have done with a few more. No hairdryer in room,( but I didn't ask at the bar - likely they have one they could provide) .

    For such a reasonable price per night, including 2 of us and breakfast, plus a dog, it was excellent value! Great breakfast, really big - again I didn't expect that, and some choices too. Evening meal purchased in the bar both nights of our stay, and was great food, reasonably priced. Dog walk up onto the moor direct from the pub, which was great. Plenty of hot water in the bathroom so you could have a long soak in the bath, shower provided too. Comfy bed, tea and coffee. No fuss easy check in, parking, key for outside door to come and go at any time.

    The room was very cold upon arrival, no heating on whatsoever. Maybe you could turn on the heat a couple of hours prior to guests' arrival? Bathtubs are very slippery, it would have been nice with an anti slip mat. A heated towel rack would be nice.

    It's always nice with a pub downstairs. Nice size room. Comfortable bed. Nice and helpful staff! Great location! Bus stop right outside.

    initial communication.

    After a small hiccup of keys for the first evening the stay was just what I required to walk some of the North moor. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast hearty and tasty. The room was basic but I didn't expect anything else. Bed comfortable.

    Our double bed was a little small and the heating was a bit random.

    The staff were lovely, the food was excellent. The location was beautiful and the lane leading to the moor was perfect for walking our dogs each morning.

    It lacked the cosmopolitan range of tonic waters for the gin I wanted. FYI

    Understand what you are paying for and where. Be comfortable with this and you will be fine: it’s a Dartmoor pub with rooms serving the walking community at a great price. Neither flash nor fancy, the tin says it all. Great value for the non fancy folk.

    I appreciate energy costs are crippling and I understand that as we were at times the only guests they didn't want to run the central heating but they could have put on the oil filled electric radiator when they knew we'd checked in, as it took a very long time to warm the room and gave a worrying first impression.. Strange as they are lovelly helpful staff

    Food, both breakfast and evening meal, is really great, good helpings, freshly cooked and a good selection. Dog friendly. Good size bedroom.

    Some updating might help

    The location of The Fox and Hounds is very good although it is on a very busy main road. I believe there are some lovely walks from the car park. The staff were very friendly. The decor and furnishings are pretty dated. The menu is rather limited but the food was okay. It was good value for money.
