Location and what's nearby
Eggesford, Chumleigh, Devon EX18 7JZ
Nestled in the heart of North Devon’s countryside, The Fox & Hounds Country Hotel has something for everyone. Exeter is 30 miles away, with its extensive shopping area and stunning cathedral. Barnstaple is 20 minutes away by car and home to the Monday-Saturday Pannier Market.
Devon’s coastline is great for walking and surfing, particularly Croyde or Woolacombe beaches. If you’re an outdoors type, put a day aside to explore both Exmoor and Dartmoor National Parks. Scour the moorlands for Tors, enjoy a pint in a country pub and check out the white lady in the Valley of the Rocks.
