The room was absolutely amazing. Would definitely stay there when we come back. However, i wouldnt eat there. The food felt like it had been cooked for a while and then heated up. And the breakfast was aweful. Otherwise it would be 5 star review.

Really great hotel, the room was lovely and spacious, I just wish the shower could've gone colder. The water seems to be permanently hot no matter how far you turn the shower controls! Staff very friendly and helpful.

The Fox, BSE

Nice pub with rooms. I was told that the hotel part was going to renovated later in the year but the room that I stayed in was very comfortable. Will definitely use the Fox again.

Top notch vacation

absolutely wonderful and the staff were great ambassadors for the company too. Lovely atmosphere and our room was absolutely 5 star. Only downfall was our meals but hopefully, they will have improved it now.

First time i have stayed at The Fox Inn but won't be my last, a great place to stop with very friendly staff. The room was fantastic and had everything you need, tea, coffee, shower & my room also had a bath.Plenty of parking directly outside your room. The pub itself was lovely, the food was fantastic along with the traditional English breakfast i had in the morning. Nothing but good things to say about the Fox Inn..
