This was a lucky find. More an inn with rooms than a full-on hotel. Everything about this place is quiet quality. Lovely staff, good food and service and very reasonable rates. A great location too with plenty of lovely gardens and villages to visit. We will definitely be back.

Great short stay
I recently stayed at The Fox Hotel for one night and had a good experience. The staff were incredibly welcoming, and the room was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. The hotel's cozy atmosphere made for a relaxing stay, and the location was perfect for exploring the local area. I highly recommend The Fox Hotel for anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay! We also stayed for dinner and the food was excellent.

I can’t say enough good things about this place. The room was amazing, the attention to detail is the best. The restaurant made amazing food. I just wish I had found the place at the beginning of my trip rather than the end. Tina was so lovely at breakfast. I will come back!
