Food was disgusting. Apparently this is not the norm their usual chef was off and they had problems with the oven . We did receive a 20 % discount for the food. Old building which is lovely but can hear toilet flushing in another room . The room was clean and very small . The bed was hard.

Relaxing 4 night stay.

This is our second stay at the Fox and Hounds. The staff are very welcoming. The food is excellent, with an extensive choice available. The room was clean, and well presented. There was a good supply of tea bags, coffee, hot chocolate and bottled water, plus shower gel, shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom. Very dog friendly too!

Lovely spacious room and friendly, helpful staff. Beautiful location with train station nearby. Great breakfast. Our only complaint was that rooms at the far end of the hotel had zero Wi-Fi, although I'm sure this will be fixed soon.

We were shown to our room which we booked a superior room and on entering it there was lots of blue bottle flies everywhere in total 11 of them so we had to get them all out of the room then when they have cleaned the room they had left all the rubbish in the bin from the previous occupants plus they had put the bathroom rubbish in it as well plus there was poo in the toilet. The Wi-Fi didn’t work in the room or even the rooms next to us as we heard someone else complaining about it. Lack of routers seems to be the problem, food wasn’t bad but had better for the price they are charging ie home made pie had pasty top as thick as a doorstep and the burger was the smallest burger I’ve ever had although it was tasty and it was supposed to be in a locally baked bread bun but it was just a small bun you would get from Tesco in a pack of 6. Didn’t top up the tea and coffee condiments properly had to go and ask for sugar from the bar and didn’t leave any bottled water on our last night of stay. The bathroom was nice but the shower screen on the bath is too small as when you have a shower the bathroom floor get soaked. They rate themselves as 4* B&B but really it’s a just gets a 3* and only just gets that. Would we stay again, well no not for the price as it’s not cheap and when you pay for a superior room you expect more.

After arriving a little stressed from previous accommodation, I had a friendly and professional greeting and was grateful my room was ready early. Staff were extremely helpful offering use of the drying room for my drenched clothes! The cosiest room in a lovely pub, spotlessly clean, plenty of tea/coffee supplies and a great view. Dining was great too, lovely breakfast and dinner. Would definitely stay if in the area again. Thank you for making me so welcome.
