    no breakfast at the weekend - and not many shops nearby or open on Sunday to forage - best to plan ahead.

    great place, really nice staff. nice and lively club night without being mental. Way better than a travelodge!

    Place was shut for the day when we arrived so couldn't get food/drinks here but we were able to walk to a corner shop about 15mins away to get ourselves some snacks. Bit noisy outside due to location in an industrial estate but this is obviously no fault of the owners. Keys took a bit of getting used to as we needed to leave at 2am so followed instructions by leaving the keys inside our room but then realized we needed the keys to get out so had to then go back upstairs, get the keys, unlock the door downstairs and one of us held it open while the other went back upstairs to put the keys in the room lol. Only a minor inconvenience though and we are certainly in the minority having to check out so early!

    Nice little place. It was clean, there were tea bags, complimentary cookies and a spacious storage place for clothes. The beds were all fox themed which we thought was quite cool, and they were pretty comfortable as well. Plenty of pillows and extra blankets so you'll always be able to adjust it to your comfort level. Decent location- we stayed here to then get a bus to Bristol airport in the morning for our flight. Guy running the place was lovely, friendly and helpful.

    There was no breakfast available on our Sunday checkout. We hadn't paid for one but the option would have been nice.

    For the price, all was great. Honestly nothing bad at all. We were a bit worried about the noise of the disco downstairs but at bang on 11pm the music shut off and everyone went quickly and quietly home. Was really impressive and much appreciated!

    2024 -- currently the surrounding area under development, so usual disruptions to traffic etc, but not noisy at night.

    Good location, not far from centre. Rich was very polite and friendly. This place had all you need. Many bottles of water free, fridge, and very clean everywhere.

    The outside of the place looked very worn and dodgy but the inside looked lovely

    The room was very clean, beds were comfy, went up on bank holiday weekend, and didn't hear much noise at all, only a 30min walk from the hippodrome, very friendly staff as well. Definitely recommend if you need a cheap place to stay :)

    Nothing really.

    I must admit it was a bit intimidating to walk in to but that was because they had an event going on. The guys behind the bar welcomed us in and showed us to our room pretty quick. I was impressed with the amount of water bottles and snacks were awaiting us in the room. I'm not a fan of sharing bathrooms with other hotel guests but it wasn't a huge hotel so I wasn't too worried. It was clean and well kept and that's all that matters. The beds were very comfortable and we had a good night sleep and that was all we needed.

    There is nothing that can be done about this because it's the set-up, but you need to share a bathroom - however I knew that's what I was booking and there were multiple bathrooms so I never found myself having to wait to use the bathroom/toilet. Arriving quite late in the evening I had to get the key from the key safe (absolutely fine) and go through the plain white door into the property which was a bit of a different experience but I very much would say it's "Don't judge a book by its cover" because inside the property was lovely and comfortable and plenty of space.

    The customer service from the staff was excellent. Prompt responses to any queries I had and really wanting to help. The breakfast was excellent - freshly cooked full English breakfast. The room was an excellent size and had a desk I could work at and there was also a sofa.

    The room lighting. The ceiling light was dim and the bedside lamps had rather intense candle effect bulbs.

    Very welcoming and friendly staff. A quiet location, at least after 10pm. It was historical building, first built around 1840. The rear garden area had a small dance area sounding night club music with lights and quirky seating areas.

    The room had a fairly overpowering smell of air freshener, which I am not at all fond of. And outside when I arrived there was a building site with a massive pile driver operating only about 50 metres away from my bedroom window. But this did stop promptly at 5PM and was not an issue after then, and it has to be said that this was entirely outwith the control of the Fox.

    First impressions from outside were less than encouraging, but once through the door things very much picked up, with the inside being clean and tidy. And breakfast the next morning in the cafe downstairs was a pure treat - way beyond the usual offerings I've previously experienced in England's B&Bs, while the proprietor was cheerily happy & friendly.
