Amazing staying. Strongly recommend.
That was my first time in a pub/hotel. And i cannot be happier about my experience. The place at all - either room and pub - are so cozy! The cleanliness was surprising, as well the food. A silent place, very well located. I strongly recommend your stay. 10/10!

The property was in a great location and within easy walking distance to all the major attractions. Breakfast was good and the bar area welcoming. The rooms were clean and comfortable. A major problem for us was the lack of a lift as my husband struggled with the stairs to the second floor. If you are young and fit though this would not be an issue

Great location, room was not the best
Best part is the location, super close to the town center! Breakfasts were excellent. Everyone was friendly and helpful. My room was on the top floor. Old building, so the winding staircase and slanting floors were not a surprise. Didn’t like the odor in the room, and could not open the window or ventilate any other way. Poor water pressure, sometimes cold water not available. Nicely updated bathroom, comfy bed, well decorated, but carpet was shabby and should be replaced.

It is not a chain, but good for a short stay, though one downside is that there is no air conditioning.

We loved it! Everything was perfect. The room is big, clean, beautiful. The building is quiet old and that is why we were surprised to find a spotless well decorated and well maintained room. The king bed is very comfortable, we slept sooo good. The hotel is in a great location. The breakfast was good. We really enjoyed it.

The Black Fox is excellent. Even though the building is very old, the room had been recently refurbished to a high standard, and was spacious and comfortable. A great breakfast was provided in the cafe/bar. Very friendly and helpful staff. Recommended.

This property, a freehouse since the 18th century, is exactly what I expected. Close to all Bath city sights, rooms are efficient and have everything you need. The property has had recent painting to lighten and brighten the spaces and they are inviting in a relaxed manner you would expect of a freehouse, that is the charm of the place. There is a bit of street noise but nothing not expected from city living. I throughly enjoyed my stay.

Great location. Helpful staff. Very clean comfortable room. No lift so lugging luggage up narrow stairways was challenging.
