Winning the Best Wedding Venue in Devon for the last 2 years at the West Country Wedding Awards has made The Fox & Hounds Country Hotel THE choice for a very special wedding.

We can host civil ceremonies & receptions for up to 120 guests seated, both inside our pretty wedding chapel and on our lovely lawn with the happy couple exchanging vows under our charming summer house. In spring the apple trees frame the scene perfectly and in summer the clematis and roses around the gazebo are truly stunning. Larger wedding groups love our Garden Party style wedding with picnic blankets and Pimms, luxury Hog roast buffet and cream tea canapes to show the very best Devon has to offer.

With 6 acres of grounds down to the River Taw the photos will be stunning and the professional team will make everything run to perfection. Our brides are always amazed at how relaxed their day is and their guests love the food and friendly staff.
