The Fox Inn - Cotswold

I had a fantastic lunch on October 1st at this restaurant, with a lovely table next to the window with a view of the river. The food was delicious and reasonably priced, and the atmosphere was pleasant. The service was also excellent. Well done!

The location was fantastic, but unfortunately the weather was bad (raining) so we couldn't sit outside by the river. The food was also disappointing. I ordered the fish and chips, and my children had the kids' fish and chips and the fish finger sandwich. All three dishes were extremely greasy, to the point that we all felt sick later in the evening.

The breakfast at this restaurant was shocking. The sausage sandwiches were terrible and priced at £7. The bread was so thin that the contents kept falling out when I lifted the sandwiches. The poached eggs were sent back, as they were not cooked properly. There was not much tea or coffee available.

We booked for three days, the morning of the first day we were told there was a problem with a leak in the room. We.could smell something like sewage. However they made an effort to find an alternative. The landlord would not come to speak to us and would only communicate through the Assistance Manager who was so-embarrassed. However we found a place The 5Alls Filkins. There was no apologies, they took £20 off the one night which was£80. I would add I have tried to communicate with them but to no avail. My friend and I are in our 80.

Very peaceful and attractive location good for Burford and surrounding villages and for the Cotswold Wildlife Park. Beautiful old traditional building. Only stayed one night but will return. Room very spacious, clean and quiet with very large shower. Staff friendly and welcoming.
