I booked this hotel, as it was an ideal B&B to base ourselves, for a golf trip over the weekend. The accommodation was as expected, clean and fit for purpose, although a little dated and the water pressure low, it was ideal for us. The food in the pub was first class and service was great. Top tip read the menu first, as when it says giant it means giant. Folks should be aware that the site consists of the hotel, pub and a restaurant, and unfortunately they do not communicate with each other, and this results in disappointed customers. Point of note for future travellers - THE FOX &HOUNDS IS NOT A B&B!!! If you want a breakfast this can be had at the restaurant next door at an additional cost - be advised, as I was under the impression that it was inclusive - it isn't! There were a number of people staying at the same time who were also surprised at this development. The restaurant does not open until 0900 so don't expect an early start to the day with a good breakfast. We asked for a breakfast at 0800 on the Saturday when we checked in on the Friday, and were informed this would be OK. The restaurant did not open on the Saturday for our 0800 breakfast, and when I enquired about it on the Sunday, they were totally unaware of our request. In the evening the pub is a lively place, but be advised if you have small impressionable children, the choice vernacular from the regulars maybe off putting for some. Not an issue for us as we are ex military, but be advised. That being said, we were made welcome and people spoke to us. Overall, for us it was OK and we had a bed and good food, but the lack of communication between the 3 separate businesses let tit down.
