The Fox was situated in a very pretty and quiet area. The room was well kept and the bed very comfortable. The food was delicious and served at a very relaxed pace. The staff listened to feedback and gave great service. A perfect place for a rest and recharge.
I would have like to have seen bottled water anda box of tissues in the room for an extra touch.

The staff at the Fox were extremely friendly. The Room was a good size and bed comfortable however one of our rooms had very steep eaves which restricted movement without leaning over.
The food was good standard pub food, as was the breakfast, without hitting any heights, hence 4 stars, but service was excellent.

The Fox Inn is a beautiful, well maintained property. Our room was spotless and very comfortable on the top floor. We found the staff to be helpful and friendly and both dinner and the two breakfasts we had were well cooked and delicious.
A car is essential for travelling as the inn is situated in a very rural area, but there are country walks that can be taken from the inn itself.

Needed to get away to de-stress. So glad we picked The Fox Inn , surrounded by beautiful countryside, rooms very comfortable, I loved the window seat.
Phoebe and Brannon were great, nothing too much trouble and we loved our chats and banter every time we saw them, definitely made our stay even more enjoyable.

My room was superb. Nice size and a big comfortable bed. Very quiet location. However, I was let down the following morning as the chef failed to show up on time to cook breakfast. Upon check in I was asked what time I wanted breakfast. I went for 8am as I had attended for specific plans the following day. After ordering breakfast at 8, I was told 10 mins later that the chef was late and was only just starting to prep for breakfast. Consequently, I didn't receive my breakfast as I needed to leave. I would have given this place a glowing recommendation had I received the bed & breakfast I paid for but I only received the bed.

Very enjoyable stay but could do with a bit more detail in rooms.
Such as phone charging points and not using extension cables to plug in TV etc.
That said would certainly stay again and would recommend.

Very pleasant place to stay with friendly bar atmosphere and adjacent restaurant.
Booked 4 rooms which were spacious. Food very reasonably priced and had a relaxing evening.
Had a slight issue with breakfast not starting early enough for us and a misunderstanding with the staff about leaving out cereals. The management were very apologetic and compensated us for their error. We will not let this stop us from returning
