The Fox by Greene King Inns

Although I had clearly indicated I needed, for medical reasons, a room without carpets, rugs etc., such a room was not available... Later I could move to such one, but much smaller. There was confusion about prices, although I had the same breakfast every day, five different prices showed up, some items on some days not available.

Two night stay in a premium room on the first floor (room 6). The building where the rooms are is at the back of the Inn, and separately accessed. You enter this (room 6) accommodation from the carpark, into a private hall. The door at the top opens into the bedroom/sitting room area, and then around the corner there is a bath (in the room). The shower room with double basins is through a door, following on from the bath. This room is very spacious and was good for a base to explore the locality, without getting cabin fever. The staff (booking in, bar, dinner, breakfast and cleaning staff) were all very courteous and approachable. The downside is the pub, it's looking tired on the inside, and the outside is desperate for a repaint. Green King needs to refurb/refresh this inn pronto, it's not a good advert in the home town of the GK brewery. The breakfast was okay and dinner was not the best, so some work needed here as well. The reason I am giving a five star is for the accommodation block, which is special, the beer and the overall performance of the staff. Last thing and a quick win for GK, please re-think (remove) the plastic flowers/ferns on the tables in the yard seating area, as they are really tacky.

The rooms are great we stayed in 6 which was large and very comfortable, the food however was not. We had the steak and ale pie which was was a lovely flavour with mash and veg, the pie was hot but the mash and veg were cold as was the gravy. It tasted like it came out of the microwave unfortunately. The breakfast was also cold no hot plates and no continental buffet on display. Such a shame as we feel this could be great with a few changes. Will stay again but eat elsewhere.

We came for drinks and the customer service was great, 10/10 experience, and our first trip to Bury married! Would recommend ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

We had a lovely two night stay in room 6. It had a super big bath in the bedroom and the room had an en-suite shower room with matching hand basins. Huge mirrors were part of the design as well as a modern four poster bed which was super comfortable. A comfy two seater sofa, practical desk and chair and useful coffee table added to the well appointed furniture. It all added to making for a relaxing and enjoyable 60th birthday treat. We had breakfast each morning which was fine and we ate in the pub on Friday night when it was super busy. The staff were very helpful , cheery and polite. The Fox Inn is in a great position, opposite the entrance to the Abbey Gardens which are beautiful. All shops, amenities and attractions are within short walking distance. Well worth the stay.

The most miserable place and servers I’ve ever met. Nothing to eat everything I asked for not available coffee maker rude as hell 2 other ladies running about like blue a..e flies whilst she lorded over them. Dirty tables, no trays,saucers, suger in box at end off till. They place needs a revamp of staff.
