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.

The Fox, BSE

Nice pub with rooms. I was told that the hotel part was going to renovated later in the year but the room that I stayed in was very comfortable. Will definitely use the Fox again.
Jan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

10/10 Exceptional

First time i have stayed at The Fox Inn but won't be my last, a great place to stop with very friendly staff. The room was fantastic and had everything you need, tea, coffee, shower & my room also had a bath.Plenty of parking directly outside your room. The pub itself was lovely, the food was fantastic along with the traditional English breakfast i had in the morning. Nothing but good things to say about the Fox Inn..

Top notch vacation

absolutely wonderful and the staff were great ambassadors for the company too. Lovely atmosphere and our room was absolutely 5 star. Only downfall was our meals but hopefully, they will have improved it now.

Really charming and helpful staff who didn’t seem at all phased by a same gender couple. Nicely decorated and comfortable room. On site free car park. Convenient easy walking distance from cathedral and rest of the centre of town.

You will love this place!

The perfect stay. We attended an event just up the road so we had picked The Fox for the location. The accommodation was absolutely lovely, so cosy! The food was fantastic and there are vegan choices which is always very important to us. All of the staff were so helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back the same time next year, if not before.
