Guests say
Fox House in Alnwick receives high praise for its prime location, comfort, and well-equipped facilities. Guests appreciate the cleanliness, the thoughtful welcome pack, and the proximity to local amenities and attractions. While some minor maintenance issues and personal preferences on mattress firmness are noted, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing a desire to return.
Guests consistently mention the immaculate cleanliness of Fox House, with only a single mention of dust behind the sofa. The property is well-maintained, contributing to a pleasant stay.
The location is highly praised for being quiet, yet within walking distance to the town centre, local restaurants, and attractions like Barter Books. It serves as an excellent base for exploring the area.
The majority of guests find the house extremely comfortable, with high-quality beds and furniture. However, a few guests noted the beds were too firm and the seating slightly uncomfortable, slightly lowering the score.
The house is celebrated for being well-equipped, especially the kitchen. Some minor issues with bathroom fans and creaky floors are noted, but these do not significantly detract from the overall experience.
Many guests express gratitude for the welcome pack, which includes items such as milk, wine, and biscuits. It's important to note that while these gifts are appreciated, they are a kind gesture and not guaranteed with every stay.
