moment they arrive, but also of their restaurant. Chefs, Philip Burgess

Chef of Great Britain, two of only 80 in the country and the restaurant
has been awarded top accolades by all the leading guides including the
Good Food Guide. Almost all the produce used is from local suppliers.
Facilities & Activities - The Arundell Arms has been
one of England’s premier fishing hotels for more than half a century and
on the hotel's 20 miles of private fishing there are spate rivers that
rise on the moors and come down to the valleys through woods and farmland,
becoming larger, deepening, providing an infinite variety of water, long
slow pools, gravelly runs and stickles, fast shallows and open glides.
Here you are alone all day, fishing a mile of river for wild brown trout,
shy fish that rise savagely to a fly. In the late spring, the first salmon
come and by mid-summer shoals of sea trout bring out the night fishers.
The hotel teaches fishing, runs courses for beginners, offers advice, sells
tackle and provides maps for their fishing. It is all this and more which
makes the Arundell Arms a real fisherman’s hotel.
When autumn comes the character of the hotel and the country changes.
The fisherman go, the shooting parties arrive with spaniels and labradors
and the talk now, by the fire in the bar, is of high birds and driven snipe.
Many shoots locally can provide not only high pheasants but also partridge,
along with woodcock and snipe, and evening duck flighting. The driven snipe
shooting, which was pioneered here in the 1930's is still a major feature
for guests at the Arundell Arms.
The hotel can organise golf and clay pigeon shooting. Other pastimes
include horse riding and hill walking on four hundred square miles of moors.
You can visit the mysterious menhirs and stone circles of Gidleigh and
Challacombe, the du Maurier country, the famous houses and gardens of Cotehele,
Lanhydrock and Heligan, the amazing Eden Project known as the ‘8th wonder
of the world,’and the North Atlantic coast, where you can walk for miles
and watch the dolphins, seals and gannets diving in the bays.
Conference & Meeting - Situated on the Devon/Cornwall border,
reached by fast motorways from all directions and with on site parking
for 70 cars, the hotel is the ideal venue for West Country meetings and
conferences.
