“disappointed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 July 2011

We stayed here for two nights and now wish we had chosen somewhere else, it was on a dangerous bend of a fast road and the car park was opposite which made it hard to get bags across. Anyone with mobility problems don't risk it. The welcome was difficult, like they wished we had chosen somewhere else too, but worse was to come when we saw the "Family" room it was so small and had bunk beds which is different from the advertised picture, and our double bed was almost unsleepable it was so uncomfortable. However was in a decent location for getting around and the one plus was the breakfast which was very good, apart from that keep searching if you wish to stay in the area

“Very nice, Friendly.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 April 2011

Stayed one night when we were travelling around..Thought it was a nice place. Mick the Landlord was very friendly, Nice breakfast in the morning. Was upgraded to the four poster room with no extra charge and without even asking.
Mick was a friendly chap to talk to and interesting.

“God damn awful!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 September 2010

The car park is across the road of a very busy road - not easy trying to cross so beware if you have maobility problems or small children.
The room was ok - nothing special. But the worse thing ever was the food. Disgusting! We had travelled all day & were so grateful that we had arrived - only to be met with vile 'homemade' food. We hoped that the fish & chip shop in the garden (actually the car park) would be open but sadly it looked like it had been closed for years. Never mind - lets eat in the pub & try the homemade food. Homemade as in take from the freezer & cook! The vegetable soup - well words cannot describe it adequately! Brown watery liquid - could have been dishwater? Or worse? We went out after that & found somewhere else to eat. Please do not waste your time or money in this hole!

“FOR £54 GOOD VALUE”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 September 2010

You must remember this is a 300 year old coaching house,if you want modern luxary move on.we stayed for 3 nights and found it very friendly the rooms were not large but what do you need to sleep in they were clean and enough storage,The car park was on the other side of the road but we knew this before we arrived and because it was on a long bend you had a good view of what was coming.you did have traffic noise up till about midnight and again from 6 am.The Breakfast was very good we did not eat in at night but by the number that did it must have been the same T V recepition not 100%this is due to the area All in all good value for this area at this time of year.

“Disgusting room”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 September 2010

My husband and I had the misfortune to stay at the Foxhunter Inn. Foolishly I had not carried out any checks on the Foxhunter Inn before booking it. We had booked for two nights – one was bad enough. As we arrived late we did not feel that it was prudent to start looking for other accommodation at that time of the day.
Our room was disgusting – it was small and the furniture old, stained and grubby. The carpet had not been vacuumed and the last time that the room had been thoroughly cleaned was a very long time ago. There were cobwebs to be seen hanging from the ceiling!
I did check the bed linen and it was clean, as were the towels - however the valance was in dire need of a good wash.
The bathroom was a disgrace; the front of the basin was coved in a substance that did not look at all good and we cleaned it off ourselves. The inside of the shower curtain was stained and dirty and I lifted the bath mat up – it was stuck to the bath with a brown mucky substance – I would say that it had been growing there for a few months.
The owner and his wife served and cooked breakfast and it was very good. Before we left I spoke to the owner and told him that I thought that our hotel room was a disgrace – he seemed totally surprised and assured us that he would attend to things immediately……. I wonder?
