The Fox and Hounds is a handsome former 17th Century coaching inn that dominates the Green in the picturesque Rutland village of Exton. The building oozes character, with a number of fireplaces for cosy winter evenings and a pretty garden for lazy summer days. Privately owned, you can be assured of a warm welcome, with every amenity to make your stay a pleasurable one.

The entire building has benefited from a major refurbishment and now offers four boutique hotel luxury rooms recently achieving an AA 4 Gold Star award. All rooms are ensuite, are individually decorated, and come with broadband internet, Netflix, digital free view, White Company toiletries, Egyptian cotton linen & bathrobes in the bathrooms, and espresso coffee and tea making machine. There is also free parking.

The Fox & Hounds Restaurant, 2 Rosettes, offers some exceptional seasonal menus. The bar menu offers a quirky take on the British classics, from share platters to sandwiches. For more formal dining, the restaurant and deck offers Modern European inspired dishes. On Sundays, a traditional menu is served from noon.
