A great location, really well presented rooms with all mod cons, comfy bed, lovey welcome gift of homemade biscuits and fudge. Delicious breakfast, polite and helpful staff. I would highly recommend this pub/ restaurant/country hotel. Stunning location close to many interesting places in Dorset.

The Fox Inn is a beautiful, well maintained property. Our room was spotless and very comfortable on the top floor. We found the staff to be helpful and friendly and both dinner and the two breakfasts we had were well cooked and delicious. A car is essential for travelling as the inn is situated in a very rural area, but there are country walks that can be taken from the inn itself.

Needed to get away to de-stress. So glad we picked The Fox Inn , surrounded by beautiful countryside, rooms very comfortable, I loved the window seat. Phoebe and Brannon were great, nothing too much trouble and we loved our chats and banter every time we saw them, definitely made our stay even more enjoyable.

very comfortable room although it had a sloping ceiling and banged my head numerous times! Did not detract from the comfort of the room and i would use the Fox inn again and defiantly recommend it

We received a very warm and genuine welcome from the team. The Inn is in a beautiful location and very good parking right onsite. Its a lovely place, with excellent service, staff and facilities. we ate in the restaurant and the food, menu and service were all excellent. The room was very clean, well furnished and had everything we needed. Overall I can't recommend The Fox Inn highly enough. A great find and we will return.

We stayed for two nights in a superior room. Really big room which was clean and nicely decorated. Tea and coffee ( real coffee) in room. Wifi was really good even in our room. Breakfast was included and consisted of full english, poached egg,cereal. All cooked really well We ate in the restaurant both nights and had lovely meals. Not as much selection due to Covid19 but something for everyone. The Fox Inn is in a rural area but the pub was quite busy in the evenings with both locals and guests. There was a lovely atmosphere.The staff were all very friendly and helpful We would definitely stay here again

Lovely pub and rooms in a very pretty village. Our room was very comfortable and we had a good night's sleep in the nice big bed. The pub downstairs was nice. Very dog friendly. We had a great dinner in the evening and breakfast was made from local proper bacon and sausages. The local area has stunning walks and beautiful scenery. Will be back
