Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Black Fox from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently highlight the Black Fox's central location, making it easy to reach both the train station and major attractions like the Roman Baths. The rooms are often described as spacious and clean, with comfortable beds and well-equipped bathrooms, though some guests have noted a significant number of stairs to reach rooms on higher floors. A generous breakfast is a common highlight, and the convenience of having a pub downstairs, serving a wide variety of beers, adds to the experience.
