The Fox

At last they've spent some serious money on The Fox and it shows. Just 2 miles from Jct 5, M40 - it was a crime that this place shut for 6 months due to lack of investment. It should be packed, situated in holiday commuting equi-distance between both London and Oxford. The busy but mediocre Kings Hotel 3 miles away in Stokenchurch is testament to the holiday market available.

The new owners have done it justice and it combines all the postives you want in an overnight stay. The rooms are spotless & tasteful with light wood, and all thoughtful amenities such as a fridge and ironing board, a tea & coffee tray. There is a large plasma TV in each room and the bathroom houses a powerful shower in a generous glass cubicle.

The Restaurant & Bar area are roomy & bright with marble, stone and whitewashed walls. The food is terrific, well above usual "Hotel" standard - more gastro-pub. The Bar has a good selection of drinks, real ales and a lengthy wine list and is home to the local village cricket club, village residents as well as hotel guests.

Soon the word will spread and this place will be hard to get into, but at the moment you can get a bargain stay in a lovely country hotel with good food & drink. Just the ticket...
