Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Fox & Hounds is often praised for its spacious and light rooms, with some facing a Tesco Express and cafes. Many guests found the location convenient, especially for visiting Crystal Palace Park, which is about a 15-minute walk. The rooms are comfortable, though a few guests have mentioned minor issues with the water temperature in the shower. Some even enjoyed late-night meals of burger and chips after returning from events.

the staff displayed genuine friendliness and helpfulness. i found the room to be very clean and well-kept. it was a double room with a private bathroom (i did appreciate that). the location proved perfect for my needs, with access to nearby family.

the absence of readily available replenishment for milk and tea outside pub hours was slightly inconvenient.

The new management at the inn showed such kindness. the recent refurbishment really shows. It brings a touch of freshness. i could access the room easily at any hour through the side door. This provided peace of mind.

i noticed one small thing, a long, dusty spider web hung from the high ceiling inside the room. it just needed a quick clean.
