Beautiful relaxing country Inn with top notch service and hospitality Spoke to my fellow countryman Brett to enquire they were open because on my phone Safari and google were telling us it wasn’t open Brought this to their attention as would have been gutted if we hadn’t booked as it was everything we needed and more :) Booked in the morning of our stay without knowing what an absolute gem we were going to . Sat in the bar with locals who were very friendly Greeted and checked in by Brett and sorry can’t remember the other guys name ( but was super friendly too ) Sunday Roast Real ale Cocktail All the very best Relaxing quiet nights sleep The best Bramble Toiletries Huge soft Bath Sheets Super comfy King room Spotlessly clean Warm And plenty of tea , coffee and homemade biscuits Superb Hospitality Thank you guys Can’t wait to come back Our favourite new place :) We going to try a short break in the stunning lodges next time

My partner and I have eaten at the fox several times recently and it has been exceptional every time. Good service, delicious, local food in a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be back for more!

We stayed here as a last minute thing and I am so glad we chose here. Our room was so clean, we couldn’t fault a thing. The food was absolutely gorgeous. We had an evening meal and then breakfast in the morning. I will be talking about our stay for months to come! We will definitely be going back in the near future.

One night stay
Stayed for dinner, was pretty poor, both chicken burger and beef burger overcooked and dry. Starters too small and Mains to big. Breakfast nice

Comfortable quiet country pub great for a recharge
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.

Friendly & relaxing
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.

Nice PLace
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

Quite remote setting, but this was our third visit and we will be back again for a short stay. Always very welcoming.
