The room was very nice and spacious, nicely decorated and clean, we had everything we needed, a nice comfortable bed, and also a nice day bed / sofa. TV, big bathroom and was nice and warm, tea, coffee making facilities, water, ect, and a bag of shortbread biscuits, parking available outside your room. Another good idea was that they offer guests staying a 20% discount on Lunches & evening meals. The pub itself is 15th a century building and has bags of character and charm.

The Pub itself is in real need of decoration, there's paint coming off the walls inside & out and the toilets are smelly and didn't seem very clean, a real letdown in my opinion, I hate a place with dirty Toilets, it's all a bit tired ? 🫤 I also felt that some of the staff were not very welcoming and didn't seem very approachable. The cooked Breakfast was nice, but i felt it was a bit expensive £12 p.p. We weren't asked how we wanted our eggs cooked, the continental Breakfast wasn't laid out on the table as the instructions on the menu leaflet stated, and we had to keep asking for the items from it, cereals, ect. This was particularly difficult as the waitress kept disappearing. We were served a warm croissant with my cooked Breakfast, but no Jams ect available on the table.

So convenient right near theAbbey, Cathedral and quaint cobbled shopping streets. Staff were lovely. Room was in converted barn and fantastic. Pub itself was historic atmospheric and food was lovely

There was a noise started early in morning that sounded like a jet engine. When we spoke to the staff they said it was a neighbouring business that had been told not to start outside business hours. This was not the staff or hotels fault and i felt cross that everything was perfect and some business could be son inconsiderate even though the hotel hadcomplained before. But it didnot go on too long and i would still definitely stay here again.

The perfect pub (with rooms) Superb atmosphere, great food and faultless service. Nothing too much trouble. I own my own B&B so am normally a very fussy customer. Rooms are really well considered and high spec (air conditioning, heated floor, electric velux etc etc). Parking is free and directly outside the rooms (which are in the converted barns). For a town centre location the rooms are quiet. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable bed. Powerful shower with thoughtful touches such as the demisting mirrors. Beautifully lit and really well appointed. Very highly recommended.

The room was excellent value for money. Attention was paid to every little detail. Modern furnishings with remote lighting dimmers, heating and air-conditioning options. Skylight King Size bed flanked by original features of the stables (I believe). HUGE modern bathroom. Tea and coffee facilities. Faultless! Additionally, parking right outside your door and the Pub within a few metres walking distance; what is not to like? Already booked another stay!

Food could be better. Mushroom starter was a measily six or seven tiny garlic breaded mushrooms tossing around an othwrwise empty plate. Overpriced.

Great friendly welcome, lovely warm clean comfortable room. Perfect location for the town. Have stayed here before as convenient for overnight stays if going to events in Bury. Staff are great, food is very good too. Parking next to rooms. Easy to walk round Bury for shops etc. Near the Abbey Gardens for walking and interesting historical places. Very happy with price, room, staff and food. Recommend, recommend, recommend.

Nothing to dislike.

My husband and I liked the pub/restaurant and all the people servicing the Fox Inn. The room was cute and had a vaulted ceiling with a beautiful chandelier. You could tell things were old but they updated everything to make it more than comfortable. We were thankful for the AC since it was warm when we arrived. They did an excellent job of even remembering what kind of coffee my husband and I liked in the morning when we went to breakfast. Excellent Latte's! These people work their butts off to keep you happy and they always had a smile on their faces. Their food was excellent. My husband liked their beer choices. The restaurant was open for 13+ hours a day. It was quaint and a walk from everything. Afternoon tea at the Angel Hotel was excellent! We never had to use a taxi to go and explore. Great shopping and a variety of restaurants to pick from. It was also very safe area. We went to London and Paris and this was by far, our favorite place to get some relaxation! A great way to end our trip---and head home to the US.

Can't think of anything.

The room was very nice and neat, bathroom could do with a little TLC but everything worked, just a little dated. Bed was very comfortable and the breakfast was fantastic. Staff were very helpful and courteous.

Nothing, all was fine. No High voltage EV charger near by, but this was never advertised so nothing to do with Venue just a note for Info ( the nearest 150MW are in Sainsburys carpark 5 mins drive away )

The room was beautifully decorated The aircon was a definite plus in the weather at the moment Breakfast was tasty Staff all lovely Allocated parking space

The bath taps are the far end of the bath behind a fixed glass shower panel, the hot water is HOT, I had to climb in the bath itself to turn the taps on! Lesson learnt the second night I put the cold tap on first! No bath mat for the floor you had to ask for 1 ? Tiles very slippy when wet so unfortunately had to use a bath towel to stand on. And yes I could have asked but was undressed when I realised!

Great location for easy walking into Bury St Edmunds centre, spacious room with lovely décor and air conditioning, huge comfortable bed, excellent bathroom and shower, easy parking, friendly staff.

We were in the room nearest the pub (1) and there was a low frequency hum from some nearby machinery (perhaps in the kitchen) that could be heard all night. Even ear plugs did not block the noise and it was especially noticeable if you woke up in the night and so made it difficult to get back to sleep.
