You must try The Black Fox

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Black Fox. Our room was clean and comfortable. Could not fault it. Will be booking again for future visits to Bath. Convenient for shops and 5 minute walk to Bath Forum. Food was delicious and great value for money.

Overall a good place to stay. Breakfast was very nice and staff provide excellent service. The only minor inconvenience we experienced during our stay was the occasional noise at night during strong winds, likely due to vibrations from outside, possibly caused by the building’s age.

Nice hotel , nice staff but didn't work for me.

Really nice place and i would recommend but i had a couple of issues, nothing serious though. Firstly, it was a little noisy from traffic and people into the early hours, to be expected i suppose in a city centre hotel. Secondly, although breakfast was included in my booking, unfortunately it wasn't served until 8am, this is ok for tourists but as i start lecturing at 8.30, i was unable to take advantage of the breakfast. Please understand the Black Fox is good, it just didn't work for me.

Overall a good stay, the rooms are dated and there were large damp patches on the walls but the beds were comfortable and the bathroom is nicely done. Very convenient location and a few minutes walk to the shopping and amenities. The pub itself is lovely, and the included breakfast was very nice.

It was great to be in an old pub in the centre of Bath where the bed and bathroom were very clean and luxurious, and yet the pub still had that local vibe. Loved the rhubarb gin as well as the great pints of bitter. Would definitely stay at the pub again when we next visit Bath.

Super Cool place to stay, right in the heart of beautiful Bath. A lovely bar/ restaurant downstairs and modern remodeled rooms above. Breakfast was terrific. The surrounding area was just amazing. So much history and beauty. Please note : A remote car park is needed if you’re driving. There are options close by.

We stayed for one night in October. Right in town literally around the corner to the spa and historic roman bath ( two separate venues). A good pub with rooms above. I read the previous reviews and having no problem with access by stairs only to a quiet room booked a night. The problem is that the previous ' quiet room' review was wrong! Buses pass outside the bedroom windows all through the night, as do revellers and early/ late workers. Be forewarned: ear plugs are very much recommended. I would have had an easy night if I hadn't left my fitted ear plugs ( essential travellors equipment in my opinion) at an earlier stay! Very much worth the money otherwise.

The room was spotless but unfortunately it was very warm in there and the window wouldn’t stay open . There is a fan provided which I would imagine in the summer you would definitely need. We also found that you could hear all the noise outside and it didn’t quieten down till around 3am but maybe this was because it was freshers week ? We also didn’t like having to use a side entrance outside to get to our room and then again to go back to the pub .
