My favourite stop-over when working in the area. Clean, comfortable rooms, excellent food, service and in a picture postcard setting. Rooms can be expensive but you generally get what you pay for...

Surprisingly cute and charming, but no lift. We were on the third floor. Other than that, it was delightful. The food was very good and the service was friendly and efficient.

Very Disappointing Breakfast
The Fox was a lovely place to stay while visiting family. The meal that we had on the first night was extremely good, and we had been told that the breakfast was going to be just as good. Unfortunately this was not the case. My husband had the full English, but the black sausage was so dried out that when he put his fork in it it broke into tiny pieces (inedible). The bacon wasn't much better. The hash brown and the mushrooms were ok. However, he was asked how he would like his egg, which did come sunny side up, but was rock hard! I had poached eggs with salmon and the poached eggs were just as solid. This was a great disappointment after being told how good it was going to be. Definitely not worth £25.

Fantastic place. Lucky enough to find The Fox after being let down by The Running Horse and were delighted. All the staff particularly Annie & Liz (at breakfast hope I got the right name) were absolutely brilliant. The room was superb - huge, every possible convenience & spotlessly clean. Both bedroom & bathroom beautifully decorated; great bath & shower. Sadly didn’t have dinner as had reservations elsewhere but judging by breakfast it would have been very good. Definitely returning and can’t recommend highly enough
