Don't Hesitate... Book!
A lovely Inn on the river. Modern, clean and comfortable room. Nice food in the bar and a good full English served in the morning with fresh juice and coffee. Very friendly staff who made us feel welcome. A shame we were only passing through for the night. We would highly recommend for an extended break.

Don’t bother on a Sunday evening!
We arrived at 8.45pm on Sunday due to birthday arrangements at Bleinham Palace. The pub called to confirm we were still attending for the night which was nice. On check-in we were informed the bar was closed, it wasn’t even 9pm?? Website states open till 11pm. This resulted in us staying in the room with a pint and a bottle, not exactly the chilled evening drinks we were hoping! The room albeit small was ok, bathroom was modern but there was a smell of musty drains which was carrying into the room so that was nice for the night! Plus the loo only just flushed, it was like the chain/handle wasn’t connected properly. Also the EXIT sign above the door lights up the room like Blackpool Xmas lights so sleep for my partner was on and off for the duration. Breakfast in the morning was good, hot food available. Only suggestion would be more hot options available for a veggie as the misses had to settle with toast as she does not eat eggs.

Cosy place to stay
Had a lovely welcome and all the guys and girls were really friendly. My room was to the room above the front of house (Sherborne) and it was a real cosy stay. The shower was a little of a tight squeeze but the fittings and cleanliness of everything was very good. Breakfast had a good cooked menu and had had a decent oat milk flat white. Would definitely stay again.

My wife and I had a very pleasant stay. It is a lovely location. The food was good and the staff excellent. Our room was very nice but there were a couple of downsides... 1) We were unlucky to have a room over the main bar so it was quite noisey when we turned in for the night. 2) The TV looked like it only streamed content. Maybe not an issue if the Wifi strength was much stronger. I'm sure this will get addressed in due course.

We LOVED our stay at The Fox Inn! Tom; one of the owners, was very hospitable and welcoming! The place had gone through major renovations and they had just only been open for a couple of months so it was all fresh and updated. And the food was sooo good! Gourmet dinner and breakfast menu (breakfast was included in our stay). We loved the whole experience!

Overnight stay in the heart of the Cotswolds
Beautiful position next to a river minutes away from the busy village of Burford. We spent the afternoon enjoying the sun and a few drinks next to the river then ate in the restaurant. The best steaks I’ve had in ages. Tasty freshly cooked breakfast. Thanks for a lovely stay.

What road are we on!
Lovely pub but had booked a lovely river view for my partner & king size bed. What we got was a main road view, no river view plus the king size bed was two singles pushed together.

Beautiful surroundings, the hotel is right on the river and is super pretty. We thought the food here was delicious- dinner and breakfast. It could have been a bit cleaner though, mainly dust, cobwebs and flies but it is an old property. Our family room was nice and completely fine for one night - the bed and sofa bed were comfy but there were very steep stairs down to the door that we had to pull a chest of drawers in front of for our 18mth old. The bathroom was a good size and nice and clean but there was no hot water in the morning or i couldn't work the shower properly.

We ended our trip to Cornwall With a 3 day stay at The Fox Inn, Oxfordshire on our return to Grt Manchester. Lovely room The Windrush overlooking the river. Nice relaxed vibe, lovely food and a fantastic location. COVID precautions did mean the bar was outside with covered areas however the weather was hot and sunny so not an issue. Used our Tesco’s vouchers in part payment bus Hotels.com A small plumbing issue on our last day which we raised. Fantastic walks and lots of great places to eat if you want a change.

Newly renovated rooms, very quiet, great views over the Windrush river. Service was good, but there was a lot of junk lying around the property, broken bits of things. In some ways it added to the charm, but it also signified a lack of a real eye for how to present a public place to customers. Food was also very good, and staff were friendly and helpful.

This was a 70thBirthday treat I was doing a 2 day visit to RAF International Air Tattoo.I booked two nights at The Fox and when I arrived I went to my room to find there was no hot water so I couldn't even have a shower to freshen up after my 4 hour drive.I had a meal in the evening and had to send back the salmon fishcakes as they were frozen in the middle.I returned to my room having been told by the landlord that he needed to come and go up into the loft space as there was a problem with the water. Despite him looking this remained a problem. It continued to the following morning - again no hot water so not able to shower. It is a good thing I wasn't going anywhere special where I had to dress up. I mentioned prior to arrival that I was there for the Air Tattoo and I was pleased to hear that a full breakfast was included. A review on Trip Advisor mentioned that breakfast was lovely so I was looking forward to eating before leaving for the show. I was told breakfast wasn't available until 8.30 am which is too late to get to the show before the build up of traffic. No alternative was offered like a continental breakfast.On return I asked about hot water and was told it was OK.. When I paid I mentioned the breakfast & water issues but there was no apology.Having been without hot water for over 24 hours-half my stay and having had no breakfast, despite it saying in the room information that earlier breakfast was an option,I was given no reduction in cost. Very expensive trip!
