“The Fox By Greene King Inns stands out for its prime location near the Abbey gardens and the town's amenities, offering both convenience and a touch of glamour in select rooms, like room 6 with its statement bath and chandeliers; however, some areas could use a refresh, especially concerning dust and cleanliness. For those prioritizing location and character, this inn presents a compelling option.”
