The Fox & Goose Hotel Bar and Restaurant

"Location was convenient for access to motorways. Basic hotel with lack of maintenance. 2 of the rooms had mould in the bathroom and in the 3rd room the bedside lights were broken. Staff were rude at times and it didn't feel particularly welcoming. Breakfast was extremely expensive and coupled with that terrible. The bread tasted like cardboard and simple scrambled eggs, along with the bacon were cheap and unpalatable ingredients. We won't be going back."

"I usually stay at Fox and Goose because it’s dog friendly and convenient but this time my little dog stayed at home. How delightful to see that some of the rooms have been revamped and they look lovely, modern and clean. I had dinner there one evening and will return just to eat the very best Apple & raspberry crumble I’ve ever tasted. The crumble is crispy and the apple is sharp just as it should be. Many restaurants should learn how to bake this. I invited a friend to join me for breakfast and that was also delicious. I will happily be returning shortly and inviting friends to join me for dinner."

"Booked a meal here last night to meet up with the family. Have eaten here many times on family occasions so we were confident with our choice of venue. How wrong can you be. We weren't even shown to our table just pointed in the right direction. There was no draught beer at allat the bar.We had to collect our own menus from the bar. The menu choices were disappointing to say the least nothing like the menu on the website that we were expecting. The starters came - a handful of Mushrooms on a soggy piece of bread. No decoration of any kind. After a 20 minute wait looking at empty plates I took them to the bar and asked for our mains. 30 minutes later they arrived. 3 out of 6 were sent back to the kitchen cold. The lasagne was solid and still cold in the middleThe steak was overcooked and the chicken was drowned in bbq sauce. The gammon was nice! We waited an hour and a quarter for this dreadful meal! Of course we complained but the lady in charge could only apologise and blame it on the lack of staff! No offer of a drink or dessert to compensate for over £110 worth of badly cooked food. Never again. I do not know how a restaurant can change so much. Completely ruined or xmas get together."

"We visited for lunch with our cousins. There was a warm welcome awaiting us. The menu gave a good choice of courses - something for everyone. Service was excellent and the food was cooked to perfection. There was no pressure on us to leave after the meal and we were able to stay and have a good natter. This was not our first visit and will not be our last. We did not see the rooms so cannot give any stars for that category"

"The customer service at this hotel was exceptional. I stayed a couple of nights, to be with a friend whose dog had been admitted to the nearby specialist vet. It was a difficult time and the staff could not have been more sympathetic or helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The hotel is convenient for the M5, easy to find and parking is plentiful. The rooms are large, clean, light and airy. The dog-friendly rooms have laminate flooring and there is a grassy area outside. In my room, the bed was really comfortable and the shower was powerful. There are complimentary toiletries, fluffy towels and tea & coffee making facilities. The hotel is on the main road but I didn't notice the traffic noise at night. Really good value."
