Hotel Review

Flock to the Arundell Arms; there are so few places like it left. In the family for nearly 50 years and now run by Adam and Tina Fox-Edwards. It continues to offer extensive fishing on the Tamar, its tributaries and a beginners' lake, plus a warmly welcoming atmosphere, pretty, comfortable, up-to-date bedrooms and wonderfully fresh, locally sourced food in a beautiful dining room. A perfect West Country base for everyone, not just fishing and shooting parties.
