The standing building shown as Fry's Hotel PH is shown on OS maps throughpout the 19th and 20th century and is still extant today as Burland House, Bittadon as a residential dwelling. Newspaper articles show that it is listed as a PH at least from 1868.
The OS1961 records the change of name to Burland House. Hotel is present in various historic directories (William White, Kelly's) and these are chiefly for the mid C19th (William White 1850) to early C20th (Kelly's 1902). By 1919 Fry's Hotel is missing from the Directories, having had its license withdrawn in 1910 by the magistrates North Devon Journal 03 Feb 1910. Presumably this is the point at which it became a private dwelling.
A handsome building still with early windows (narrow glazing bars), in appearance dating from not later than the late C18th, and unaltered in its footprint since at least 1889.
