I can’t say enough good things about this place. The room was amazing, the attention to detail is the best. The restaurant made amazing food. I just wish I had found the place at the beginning of my trip rather than the end. Tina was so lovely at breakfast. I will come back!

Excellent stay and wonderful food

The hotel is in a beautiful building with 5 rooms available to book. We were in a room on the top floor, which had a wonderfully comfortable bed and a lovely en-suite shower room. I think it was called Littleton. The room was well equipped, with a hairdryer, iron and ironing board in the cupboard. Lovely shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel included. There was a kettle and coffee machine with complimentary pods, tea bags etc and water in the mini fridge. We were very pleased with the room overall, it was very comfortable and nicely decorated. The only real issue I had was the placement of the mirror as there was no plug socket nearby so hairstyling was done next to the tv with a small mirror and makeup was done by moving the furniture around as well. Not very practical but manageable for a one night stay. We were only there for one night while visiting Winchester but made use of the restaurant and bar for dinner which was superb. The meal we had was exceptional. We couldn’t find fault with a single element, compliments to the chef. Breakfast was also wonderful and the lady serving in the morning was very welcoming and a fantastic host. The staff are all very friendly and efficient. If we ever have need to be in the area again we would happily stay here again.

Memorable Stay!

What a fabulous place to stay! Crawley is a chocolate box picture of a village. The Fox inn did not disappoint from the minute the car was parked and we entered. Staff were friendly and accommodating and showed us to our room. The Stockbridge room was spacious with Kingsize bed sumptuous bedding and a bathroom to knock your socks off! Fabulous!! And as for the breakfast included…..amazing! Will be visiting again and this time spend more time checking out the village which has storytelling history.

Great short stay

I recently stayed at The Fox Hotel for one night and had a good experience. The staff were incredibly welcoming, and the room was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. The hotel's cozy atmosphere made for a relaxing stay, and the location was perfect for exploring the local area. I highly recommend The Fox Hotel for anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay! We also stayed for dinner and the food was excellent.

My favourite stop-over when working in the area. Clean, comfortable rooms, excellent food, service and in a picture postcard setting. Rooms can be expensive but you generally get what you pay for...
