The Fox & Hounds Inn

The Fox & Hounds Inn

Review

Tucked away in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, the Fox & Hounds in Starbotton is everything you could wish for in a countryside retreat. This charming, family-run pub, originally opened by Shelley’s parents, Ian and Karen in 2017, has been lovingly transformed and is now run by Shelley and her husband Dan into a warm and welcoming haven. With two roaring fires, an exceptional menu, and cosy accommodation, it’s easy to see why visitors return time and again. Dan’s culinary skills elevate traditional pub fare into something truly special, while Shelley’s hospitality ensures every guest feels like an old friend. Choose from one of 4 inviting rooms or a one bedroom cottage next door, either way, you’ll be treated to outstanding comfort. Along with the help of their much valued team member Naomi, Dan & Shelley have made the Fox & Hounds one of the finest pubs in the area.
