Staff were very polite and friendly. Car park was full (had the last place) and the bar was very noisy - a lot of people and it was Friday. The meal was good “pub grub” and the local ale was wonderful - Wye Valley brewery.

Excellent Inn B&B - super friendly polite staf. good pub food excellent meal deal £16 for a main course and a pint pp. Double whiskey £5. Good size room. Ensuite with a bath (took a while to fill but was fine). here is a bit of boise from th pub area below but nothing too bad Breakfast was very good. Noticed locals, customers and passers by coming in to have a breakfast which is a good sign. Much Wenlock is a lovely place - plenty to see and walk around. Overall a very pleasant one night stopover - will certainly return for maybe a bt longer when in the area again.

Excellent value, clean and comfortable. The staff were really friendly and welcoming, the room was clean and cosy and the freshly prepared food was fabulous. We had an evening meal and breakfast, which were both excellent. We would definitely stay again.

What a wonderful mini break for my husband and I plus our two little dogs. We stayed at The Fox and were greeted warmly by staff on arrival. Everyone was so friendly. The town was absolutely stunning, gorgeous buildings, quaint shops and pubs. We ate in The Fox on our first night and the food was wonderful and great value for money! Our little dogs enjoyed their stay also and were fussed over by everyone! Highly recommend The Fox if you’re in the area

Staffordshire family tree hunting stay

Came for a 2 night stay with husband visiting surrounding towns. Lovely little B&B. The host and staff were friendly and helpful. The bar and food area was busy with a nice atmosphere. On arrival our room was cold, however large radiator was on. Small storage heater was available in the room so this helped. Large radiator never heated up after that first night so room was cold having to use the heater. Only one hand towel in room. Lovely tea/coffee selection. First night husband went to jump in shower but couldnt quite get the temperature right so ended up running the bath. Not ideal but managed. Had drinks in the bar each evening and were made to feel welcome. Breakfast was really nice and filling. Great coffee too. Visited nearby pub and indian for food and both were great. Lovely little village, worth a visit.

Had a lovely night at The Fox Much Wenlock. Not the best room we’ve stayed in but it was really clean , nice comfortable bed and nice big fluffy towels. The food was excellent and freshly cooked and nothing was too much trouble . Worth a visit just to meet the owner and her lovely daughter who made us feel very welcome. We also found the village welcoming and interesting and a good base to visit other places.

Large room but a bit bland, a table would have been nice. and a light above the tea/coffee area would have been useful. Food good, I had pie which was very tasty! Love the area, people very friendly!
