The Curious Fox

Fabulous staff lovely friendly restaurant with great service

Room was not cleaned properly no clean cups bathroom not cleaned no tea and coffee replaced. Dirty glasses left bins not emptied.

Everything. The staff were welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was superb . Wherever you looked there was something quirky but fit in perfectly with the vibe of the hotel .

Came in later at night and the back door entrance was very badly lit . I think we probably came the wrong way and should have come through the car park but lighting on the left hand side of the hotel should be considered.

Easy to find using satnav and parking was beside the entrance. It can fill up and your car could get blocked in. Other than check in and out there was no interaction with staff. Our room was on the upper level and was warm and inviting. The old beams and uneven floor topped off the room’s character. The bed was comfortable. The WiFi signal wasn’t very strong and it kept dropping out; almost to the point of being useless. The bathroom wasn’t overly large. Low water pressure or air in the pipes caused the hot water faucet to sputter until the air cleared the pipe. My spouse gave up trying to take a bath because it took too long for the tub to fill. Other than a couple cobwebs where the beams meet the wall on the window end of the room, the room itself seemed clean. A couple minor maintenance items that should be addressed are the broken knob (not even there) to turn on the shower, but the shower was still useable. Worse was when taking a shower the water would stop flowing completely for a minute or so before starting up again. It didn’t happen our second night, so may have been a one off. Sections of the shower’s grout was in need of a good cleaning. Another item was the sliding bathroom door that was not in its track. While I understand the reason for storing the Hoovers up by the room, they really are an eyesore and detract from the overall ambiance of the hotel. Because of the low beams in the room and shower, room 5 may not be the best one for a tall person.
