    The pub was fabulous, very clean, and welcoming, and the room was amazing. Great size, and with a very nice free standing bath, along with a shower. The breakfast was outstanding, and the owner was very, kind, friendly, and " just a lovely man." The views at breakfast were fantastic and lovely to see nature's fineness.

    Unfortunately too close to the busy A66 which if you are not used to traffic noises makes it difficult to sleep.

    The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. The room was lovely and comfortable and the food excellent.

    One of the reasons I choose the hotel was their restaurant. I arrived on the Saturday, had an excellent meal, but was told at breakfast there would be no food in the evenings as the restaurant was closed, a cheese sand which was suggested. On my return in the evening I raised the problem with the staff and, after much discussion had an excellent Sunday roast. Monday night I had fish and chips brought in from a local chip shop, Tuesday a local club had a dinner booking so food was no problem providing I ate early! and Wednesday the restaurant was open. I would like to stress that the two staff I dealt with were excellent and made sure I did not go hungry.

    Nothing, it ticks all the boxes. We will keep going back!

    We love staying at The Fox Hall Inn and have revisited many times now because it is convenient, spotlessly clean, very comfortable, the food is amazing and Chris and staff thoroughly attentive. They are even dog friendly and extremely accommodating when it comes to allowing furpanioms everywhere. Chris’s communication is excellent and always makes us giggle and feel welcome.

    We had a Lovely stay for a wedding at a near by location, the staff were so helpful even before we arrived. Rooms were great, we had two as we were with a Family member. The breakfast in the morning was perfect and clean a good representation of the stay in general. John and James were so accommodating even for my partners dietary requirements!

    The place itself was well done out and very clean and tidy. The rooms were of a good high quality and immaculate. Chris and james were exceptional hosts always happy to help with whatever we needed. The staff were really polite and friendly. The location was perfect for us both. They even made sure our dog max was looked after and always made a fuss of him.

    Very little. A bit of background road noise from A66 immediately outside, but not severe. (The new stretch of dual carriageway about to be built will take all A66 through traffic away from the pub.)

    Convenient location, historic building, plenty of parking, beautiful view southwards over Holmedale and excellent bar.

    Absolutely nothing 10/10

    This property was stunning, our room was a very good size. It was immaculately clean and the shower was incredible. The staff here treated us like royalty. So warming and kind I can’t thank you both enough for making me and my children feel so welcome and at home. The food was Devine and cooked to perfection we couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to stay.

    The room was a bit too hot for me but most people would appreciate that. Nothing that opening the windows couldn’t solve.

    Friendly staff, always happy to help. I had my dog and was able to go everywhere apart from the main restaurant. Food good too.

    The only downside was that our room faced the main road and as a result, when we couldn't sleep because the room was so hot, the windows were only opened for 5 minutes as the traffic was so loud! We have a German Shepherd and he found it hard to settle because of the temperature. My partner went to get him some fresh cold water, from the cold water tap, but it just ran hot. This really is not a complaint, though, just a simple warning about the water etc would have been helpful. And to be able to regulate the heating!

    We loved how friendly the staff were and the meal we had in the evening was excellent 👌 Considering it was a last minute booking over the Easter weekend, we were very lucky. It's dog friendly, and we were shown a field where we could exercise our dog, as the pub is situated on a main road. Our request of some cooked chicken for our dog at dinner time, was no problem at all and he was given some more at breakfast too! Would highly recommend.
