Anniversaries for our friends, from Kent, and ourselves. Have used the Fox, in the past, regularly bur not so much recently. I understand new management is in town and I have to say our friends were very impressed by everything about the Fox, as were we. It was a Monday and not busy - the food was excellent - the service excellent - atmosphere excellent and choice of background music outstanding. If you are a Dorset resident or visitor get down there and support this great, traditional pub/inn. You will not be disappointed

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

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.

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.
