"Good but spoiled by the breakfast experience."

6.0

Rooms are excellent, and excellent safe parking.

We have stayed here before and it was excellent, but let down by the breakfast service. This time was no better. Confusion with taking the orders, no buffet for fruit/cereal/toast/juice A real pity, as the accommodation is really good.

"Extremely pleasant stay in very good quality accommodation"

9.0

Excellent, clean and comfortable room in good quality and well presented ground-level accommodation with car parking close by. The bed was of a very good size as was the room. We were very warm throughout our stay (sometimes too warm!) and enjoyed eating in the main rooms of The Fox. The food on the whole was excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful. The Fox is pleasantly and conveniently located a few minutes walk from the Cathedral, which was the focus of our stay.

Difficult to fault this accommodation, however a bath grab rail close to the bath would have been reassuring due to my mobility issues, I was given a non-slip mat for the bath when I asked at reception which was needed. Breakfast was as stated however food is served direct from the kitchen with no buffet opportunity. My requested continental breakfast of fruit and yoghurt could have been prepared a little more carefully without added orange skins/pips and apple core to contend with! The Croissant was however delicious! These are minor issues and can easily be resolved with a little more food presentation training. The window in our room did not have a lock/opening restriction and being ground floor could have been a security issue when we left it open for a bit of fresh air.

"Good central location, comfortable warm room,"

5.0

The location was good and the room in an outside converted block had everything we needed and was comfortable . The wet room shower was good. There was ample parking.

We were not told in advance but were given an accessible room which meant the sink etc was at the height needed for a wheelchair user. The breakfast was ok but basic and the coffee machine was not working.

"It was lovely. Nothing was to much trouble. We were even allowed to leave our car there the next day while we shopped."

10.0

Staff are welcoming. Pottery is lovely, location is perfect on the edge of town only a 5 minute walk and your in the main town. But still quiet enough for a rest full sleep

It was old in style but very welcoming to all.
