Annual pilgrimage

We make an annual trip to fox n hound. The location is great for exploring the area, staff is friendly and rooms are consistently clean. The hotel is dated but we find that’s part of the charm of the trip. Terrific views from sea side rooms.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience here. The facility was beautiful with astounding nature, the food was 5 star, the staff were very friendly, and the prices were very reasonable. My initial stay was for 3 days and I ended up staying 9!! One and if not the best holidays of my lifetime. I hope to return even though it is the opposite side of the world from me.
