We spent the weekend at the Fox Inn for a birthday celebration. The accommodation was superbly appointed, clean and spacious. The restaurant was comfortable and the food was good. The breakfast was excellent and well beyond expectations. Highly recommended.

We spent a night here on the way from Brighton to north Norfolk. It was a perfect stopover. The accommodation was first rate, very clean with plenty of room. It's just a minute or so to walk to the town centre. Bury St Edmunds was a really nice town with many independent shops and things to see.The food in the... More

For some reason, we had been upgraded (at no extra cost) to the hayloft for our 2 night stay which meant we had a spacious, well equipped room with the most comfortable bed in the world. Slightly strange assortment of windows and skylights and there isn't a view (except of the car park) but we had no complaints. The room... More

This is the second time we have visited The Fox and we all (3) enjoyed the Sunday Lunch. Service was excellent, as was the food ( 2 x beef roast and 1 x pork roast). We also felt that the overall price was very favourable. We will be back!

My partner and i came to The Fox Inn for a Sunday Roast Dinner. The restaurant was lovely and quaint despite us being the only ones there. We both ordered the roast dinner, when it arrived it did not have everything that the menu had mentioned, my partner asked where these items were which were then brought over to us.... More

Sorry for the late review, but a big thank you for our upgrade to the hayloft suite! We visited at the end of February and once again we really enjoyed our short stay. The breakfast service was first class and evening meal was lovely. We really appreciate your kindness and hospitality. We look forward to visiting Bury St Edmunds in... More

Lovely roast for mothers day but feel at these prices should be excellent and wasn't quite. Service was fantastic and food great quality but some food was Luke warm and parsnips were very hard. Staff apologetic and would return.
