THE Arundell Arms at Lifton has picked up two national tourism awards for Best Shooting Hotel and Fishing Hotel of the year.

Firstly, the hotel was voted Best Shooting Hotel in the South West by the 75,000 members of GunsonPegs and rated as being in the top three in the whole of the UK. In the same week the prestigious Good Hotel Guide declared the Arundell Arms as the Editor’s Choice as Fishing Hotel of the Year.

Adam Fox-Edwards, managing d­irector of The Arundell Arms, said: ‘I am absolutely delighted that the hotel has won both of these national awards.  It really does reflect well on the whole team and recognises what they do throughout the year and on a national scale. It shows that the Arundell Arms is still the best at what we do in our core market of country sports.’
