Although I had clearly indicated I needed, for medical reasons, a room without carpets, rugs etc., such a room was not available... Later I could move to such one, but much smaller. There was confusion about prices, although I had the same breakfast every day, five different prices showed up, some items on some days not available.

Just had a lovely weekend at The Fox Inn. Stayed in the Superior room which really deserves the title. Had our meals in the restaurant and the food was excellent. All the staff were very helpful and did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable. Would definitely stay there again.

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.

Two night stay in a premium room on the first floor (room 6). The building where the rooms are is at the back of the Inn, and separately accessed. You enter this (room 6) accommodation from the carpark, into a private hall. The door at the top opens into the bedroom/sitting room area, and then around the corner there is a bath (in the room). The shower room with double basins is through a door, following on from the bath. This room is very spacious and was good for a base to explore the locality, without getting cabin fever. The staff (booking in, bar, dinner, breakfast and cleaning staff) were all very courteous and approachable. The downside is the pub, it's looking tired on the inside, and the outside is desperate for a repaint. Green King needs to refurb/refresh this inn pronto, it's not a good advert in the home town of the GK brewery. The breakfast was okay and dinner was not the best, so some work needed here as well. The reason I am giving a five star is for the accommodation block, which is special, the beer and the overall performance of the staff. Last thing and a quick win for GK, please re-think (remove) the plastic flowers/ferns on the tables in the yard seating area, as they are really tacky.

The property is absolutely lovely and the staff are excellent. The breakfast is also really great. The location is perfect. We really enjoyed our stay and want to come back. The only minor negatives were, the TV is ridiculously small and most of the Freeview channels don’t work due to low or poor signal - surely a hotel in 2025 can resolve this issue? It would have been nice to get a complimentary bottle of water every day and not just on arrival. The WiFi kept dropping and we had to keep reconnecting which is very frustrating.
