Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Very central. Very friendly staff.
My room was located at the back of the property and was very quiet although another of my party had a room at the front near the main road. Bit noisy especially as apparently roadworks began one morning at 5 am and a guest has to shout out of the window to tell them to stop. Also we were told that a shed was available to put our bikes in of a night but on arrival found there was none.
Very clean All facilities available Friendly staff Great breakfast
Window needs double glazing as opposite courtyard which occasionally was a bit noisy (not during the night though )
Nice rooms
During dinner staff forgot drinks, ignored between courses and failed to off pounding menu of final coffee or drink end up moving to the bar to get served
Location in centre of town and parking close to rooms was good
Room was off the outside drinking area - lacked ventilation and bed was very hard
Good location and nice staff
The place is super super small, low ceiling and small and toilet smells and toilet seat was broken
Free car park, good location, friendly and helpful staff. Liked having the option of a smaller portion of the Sunday roasts.
Our room (Room 1) faced on to the main road which was a little noisy early in the morning with the window open.
The room was very comfortable the service was 10 star you couldn't ask for nicer staff
Nothing
Check in was easy and staff were friendly and helpful
Appreciate that it's an old pub but the bedroom was tiny, needed carpet replacing. Top of bedhead had never been cleaned so thick layer of dust. Mattress could do with replacing. Fan provided but so noisy that you couldn't sleep. Bathroom was tiny and could have been cleaner.
Breakfast was really nice Cooked fresh, got plenty choice, perfect for us
Nothing
We were made very welcome at the fox. Staff were helpful .
Breakfast was excellent, the staff were great , attentive lovely manner. Room was very clean, facilities were very good.
The location was lovely, central to everything we wanted to do, with a good variety of pubs and cafes.
The pillows....omg I haven't slept as poorly since my kids were babies.
Sehr freundliches und zuvorkommendes Personal Britischer Flair Glutenfreie Küche und sehr lecker
Good value and enjoyed the evening meal and breakfast bed comfortable
Did get woken up early by some delivery
Great location
Lovely place
Rooms,though small, were very well fitted out with classy fittings. Good bar with plenty of choice of beers.Large car park at rear. In centre of town
Nothing to dislike
Friendly staff, good communication on booking and allowed us early check in so we could go to a festival. Clean & comfortable
It was a little pricey, but it is the Cotswolds so this wasn't surprising. Traffic noise due to the location but pub can't help this.
Great hospitality. Lovely breakfast.
Nothing
Lovely room in a great central location. Fab breakfast too. Staff are very friendly and helpful.
Nothing - all good
Centre of the town and near all nice villages
Nothing really but had a problem with the shower and the manager sorted it without any issues
Centrally located, large car park, spotlessly clean.
Nothing
Great location, had everything we needed. Have stayed twice and will be back!

Enjoyed our weekend stay at the Fox. We had a small dog with us. Given a room at back of hotel with separate entrance to the pub which was handy having a dog. Parking available. Staff were friendly. We ate both nights in the pub restaurant. Also breakfasts. Food was good. Recommended for a weekend in Chipping Norton and surrounding area.
Hook was missing behind door in bathroom for towels. No shelf for toiletries in shower. These are small issues that can be sorted. Room was small and could be warm in hot weather but a fan was provided.
Staff extremely friendly and very helpful. Breakfast very good
Bathroom small but ok
Lovely rooms, good sized bathroom with a nice shower. Staff were very friendly, the food was beautiful.
Nothing it was very nice
Excellent location, really comfy beds and very quiet especially as it’s above a pub
On the expensive side
Beautiful building from the outside. In the centre of town so easy to walk to restaurants etc
Our room was very disappointing. Carpet stained. Could not close the window properly as the handle was falling off. Black mould in shower cubicle. Hair clip on the bathroom floor clearly left by previous guest so cleaner had not done a proper clean. Rooms are right next to outside seating area so very loud noise until late at night
Fantastic team at the Fox, offering great hospitality and the room and shower were excellent. Could not do enough for you - and food was also excellent. Even the bar playlist was outstanding!!
Staff friendly, helpful and polite. Ideal location for us, nice walks.
Nothing, all good
Lovely location Great food Comfortable
Room location at the front so very noisy in the early morning
Cosy pub with immaculate bedroom. We paid an extra £10 to have whatever breakfast we wanted with unlimited drinks. Really close to Wilderness festival. Highly recommend
Nothing
Amazing hotel and staff went above and beyond to help - even getting us toothpaste from the local shop as we had forgotten ours. Food was lovely too. Definitely recommend and we would stay there again. Parking is so handy and great location.
Lovely character. Lovely location, great friendly Staff, really good food and prices… just overall a really nice place to stay ! Highly recommend
Nothing to dislike!
Another stop on our road trip and Chipping Norton such beautiful little town. Did all the Jeremy Clackson locations as all close by. The Fox was lovely pub with great breakfast, room was nice and spacious with comfy bed. Would highly recommend..
As a bloke of 6'4" it's another watch your head with all the low ceilings, just another problem with being tall, the struggle is real 🤕
Great location, beautiful town
It could have done with something better to make it more cool it obviously could do with AC but that’s a cost
Hyggeligt sted, venligt personale, billigt. God beliggenhed.
Location and friendly staff
Double room felt a bit small
It was central although not at all noisy. The staff were considerate and very professional . Willing to help with any enquiries or requests.
All was well
All staff were superb. Breakfast was excellent.
The endless stairs to our room - but only to be expected in a period property of this age
Staff is all very nice and helpful, room very small and very hot. The window only opens 2 inches but they gave a fan- but it was still VERY hot in the room all day and night. Very uncomfortable in the heat. Plus with two people in the tiny room and tiny bathroom it felt cramped. Breakfast was good- choice of full English and other options for 10 pounds- good deal. The town of Chipping Norton is dead- terrible choice of place to stay. Must use hourly bus to get to any cute towns. No crowds here though- there is very little in the way of restaurants or food in Chipping Norton but the Indian restaurant is excellent. Ther eis nothing to do in Chipping Norton- it is just a drive through town- cars endless cars and not much food. Then the small and hot room.....

Staff so accommodating and friendly, told us about breakfast add on which we did and food was beautiful. The whole place was really clean and we had a lovely stay.
Fabulous staff, so helpful and kind
Attentive, courteous, kind staff. Great food, reasonably priced
Location, cleanliness
Great location, plenty of parking and a disabled bay. Beautiful room,no 8 good for wheelchair access from car. Seating outside available too near room, under lit canopy’s walkway down to bar. However then need to go around outside of building to main door for pub/restaurant if in wheelchair. Lovely evening meal, friendly and helpful staff. Fan provided for room, much needed.
Could do with small fridge in room, daily milk was provided on request.
Close to bus routes Parking Staff
could be quite loud outside of the room due to it being a pub
Staff were brilliant always helpful. Room made up well on request
Bathroom slightly cramped hook on wall for towels etc would help
Comfortable bed, good location to explore the town, friendly and helpful staff, great food with quite a few gluten-free options.
Room was located between the main building and the car park so was a little noisy.
Great location, central and ideal for travelling around the cotswolds.
Only downfall was there was no air conditioning and we visited during the 34 degree heatwave. Rooms were in an attic type of location and were therefore stifling hot. Didn't sleep well due to the heat, however the beds were very comfortable! Staff gave us an extra fan and couldn't have been more helpful!
Geweldige ambiance, heerlijke Ale van de pomp uitstekende keuken en fantastisch personeel.
Niets
Good location, staff friendly and helpful, free parking a bonus; nice touch in the room with a bottle of brewery beer and cans of mineral water provided and fresh milk from the bar in a little flask. Staff were accommodating to our request for a better fan and more towels and even changed our bedding after we had spilt coffee on the bed!
Room was quite small, cramped bathroom but our room was in the eaves; no air con and fan provided was very poor, another better fan provided upon request as were more towels; room could have had a little more attention to detail re: cleaning.
Very central, nice bar and outside seating area. Very central
Nothing
We loved our stay at The Fox, the room & bed were really comfortable and the staff were all lovely. We really appreciated the fan they replaced in our room as the weather was so hot. We also had a lovely meal in the restaurant, probably our favourite meal on our trip to The Cotswolds... delicious!
We would definitely stay at The Fox again but would probably choose a room at the back of the property to be quieter
Friendly and welcoming, in a fantastic location. This is the second time we have stayed and would highly recommend. The food in the restaurant is also incredible!

Well located comfortable accommodation and very helpful and friendly staff.
All great.
Great room and wonderful food. Very quiet, no noise from outside or downstairs 6
The hot water out of the tap was scalding.
Location. Charm. Convenience and quality of downstairs pub and restaurant. Cleanliness. Friendly staff.
Food was very good room was very small carpet wasn’t very clean, there was no usb sockets, shower room was very small. Means of keeping the room cool was 1 fan.
Room was very small and very hot which was even on a cool day
Lovely room very helpful staff gorgeous food
Very warm in the room but they provided a fan and not much they can do about a heatwave
Great food and a lovely welcome
No air-conditioning
All ok
Location & parking were very good for our few days stay.
The fan provided was very small & had to ask for another. Both fans were broken & had out of date testing stickers. The bathroom extractor didn't work. The emergency light above the bed was held together with tape. Toilet seat was a bit loose & there was nowhere to put your toiletries inside the shower. It was a heatwave and the staff did not check in on us as they knew how hot the rooms would be without air conditioning. I would not recommend for a summer stay.
Quirky bedroom, outdoor seating, food.
Would have preferred more bathroom space however I requested a walk-in shower and that's what I got so I was happy with that.
Quaint little room, large shower and had everything we needed
Loved everything
Staff very friendly, room was decent size with comfy bed and tea and coffee facilities.
A black out blind would have made it perfect
Honest to goodness town centre pub - great beer and pub atmosphere with some good food too
Room probably ready for some refurbishment - some areas of chipped paint
Location- good food - great free parking - friendly staff
Pillows were very flat - could do with new better quality pillows- bathroom sink had not been cleaned properly.
It was a lovely little pub hotel. So clean, very pretty. Great location for our stay (we was off on a clarksons farm tours). Chipping Norton - beautiful place, and lots to offer. Breakfast was good & the coffee was amazing. Staff were very friendly & welcoming. Free parking in the property.
I actually can’t think of anything I didn’t like, so I guess the only problem was the stairs creaked but honestly once you’re in your room you can’t hear it so really wasn’t a problem hahaha.
Great location and great welcoming happy team.
Bit noisy in morning - room faced main square.
Amazing choice for cooked breakfast. All food was good. Pleasant decoration. Excellent central location. Lovely young staff were very helpful.
Cant fault The Fox! Wish we could have stayed longer.
The lady on receptuon when we arrived was lovely and the pub/room was nicely decorated and felt cozy.
The pillows were terrible, no support in them and the bed was a bit hard. Breakfast took a long time to be served and morning staff werent very happy/friendly. Drinks were expensive compaired to other pubs.
Great location
We didn’t have a fridge and extra pillows would have been good and a more powerful fan.
Staff very helpful. Food excellent
Rubbish hairdryer
The staff are friendly and the accomodation was comfortable
La pulizia La gentilezza dello staff La colazione La presenza di parcheggio
Camera un po' piccolina Purtroppo siamo capitati in un momento di caldo anomalo e la camera era poco areata
Sentralt. Hyggelige folk. Svært god frokost
Litt slitent soverom. Bad var flott
De vriendelijke eigenaar en het bruine kroeg idee
De bedden zakten door, de douche was maar bij 1 persoon warm en daarna bleef de douche koud
Room was very comfortable and the bathroom lovely
The only negative but it is my fault for not checking it out was that we were in room 1 and it was a bit up and down the stairs as very quirky but once in the room it was great ( I have a walking stick that’s why it was a little difficult but not impossible)
Great location. Good parking. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable with plenty of space. Love the coffee bags and fresh milk. Complimentary beer and water a bonus. Evening meal was superb. Excellent shower.
Would have liked a comfy chair in the room, there was plenty of space or a cushion in the window seat. Probably a little expensive although do appreciate the accommodation is in the centre of a busy Cotswold town.
Free parking , beautiful rustic hotel, extremely helpful staff, the room was lovely and I liked that we were shown to our room too. A bottle of their ale and 2 cans of water plus tea coffee were complimentary, and such a great touch. We had dinner and breakfast there, not included but we wanted to add on, and the food was outstanding. The main man who looked after us, tall dark hair with glasses couldn't do enough and needs a mention so hopefully the powers.in charge can see how great he is I cannot recommend this hotel enough
Loved it all
Excellent location, great if you want to go to Diddly Squat, only 5 mins away by car. Excellent food, good freshly cooked breakfast and delicious evening meals, all the staff were lovely. Ample free parking. Cosy room and comfortable bed. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay there again.

Characterful, clean, super comfortable.

Fantastic location lovely staff very clean and great food!
Great location, lovely pub, great food. Quirky and what we were looking for.
The room smelt and the food was lovely but overpriced.
Location
Breakfast was really poor one piece of toast with two poached eggs for £10 no extra toast poor
Staff were really friendly and attentive and the pub is lovely.
Breakfast for me, at 0730 is too late. My bed was not very comfortable, especially the pillows so I didn't have a great night's sleep. My shower head was really dirty and the extractor did t appear to work so after a shower the walls were soaking. I have stayed at The Fox a number of times and this time I was disappointed at £126 without breakfast, I was not happy with what I received for my money.
The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The location was great. Right in the centre of Chipping Norton
Friendly welcome. The room was very clean. Good breakfast. Friendly professional staff. Excellent food in the pub.

Comfortable room, good facilities. Great breakfast and evening meal. Staff were very helpful , couldn’t do enough for us. The Fox is very central , good location for the Cotswolds. Chipping Norton is a great place to stay with cinema and restaurants.
That the holiday came to an end.
Breakfast was adequate and good value. The room was quite small but clean. Beer was excellent. Had to cancel one day off our original booking but we were given a full refund.
Bedside cabinet broken. TV reception terrible. Picture kept breaking up. Wife had fish and chips which she found undercooked however this was taken off the bill.
The fox is in a good location close to shops and cafes etc .
The fox wasn’t particularly clean the towels didn’t seem to be clean . The bed was very uncomfortable and the pillows weren’t clean . It was very noisy during the night so we struggled to sleep .
