    Would have been better if we had stayed 2 nights!

    Nice quiet room with excellent bathroom and comfy bed. The staff helped us by carrying our suitcase up the stairs. It was good to have tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Plenty of parking very close to the room.

    The room was lovely but was so hot, we had no control over the heating and the fan wasn’t very effective

    Food was amazing and the staff so friendly

    The light pollution was incredible. Both from the curtains and the glass wall of the bathroom which was a real shame. Also, the walls of the room are so terribly thin I was almost friends with the next door neighbour and her telephone caller by the time she went to breakfast. Such a shame.

    Great place, easy to find and free parking. The room was super, well finished, clean and thoughtfully done. Bed was comfy, the linen was clean and Bramley toiletries. Yum. Also very quiet for cars despite being near a road. Beautiful aspect over some lawns and shrubs. Super handy little village shop right there too.

    No obvious dislikes and I don't say that often.

    Had dinner & breakfast served in the bar of the adjoining pub "dog friendly including a sausage for his breakfast" both were excellent. Good food menu and a decent wine list which didn't have an exorbitant mark up. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Several of the rooms are great if you are travelling with a dog as there is immediate access to outside.

    The room we had was fine for a one night stay, but would have felt a bit too small for a longer stay......if staying longer at this fabulous inn, my advice would be to book one of their larger rooms

    Evening meal and breakfast were just superb. Rooms were beautifully decorated & clean with a fabulous selection of teas and coffee on the welcome tray. Staff all delightful.

    My partner and I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Fox at Willian in Letchworth for two nights, and our stay was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, even offering an upgraded garden room with a terrace. The room was not only beautifully decorated but also really spacious. The food was nothing short of amazing—we were lucky to be staying on one of their three special mussel evenings which we enjoyed – Thai Green mussels or Chorizo, charred sweetcorn and tomatoes! Definitely exceeded our expectations and added an extra layer of enjoyment to our stay. Breakfast was perfect and served in a quiet and more private area for overnight guests which is a nice touch. We would wholeheartedly recommend The Fox at Willian anyone visiting and look forward to the opportunity to stay again in the future.

    I didn’t have any normal tea bags in the room. But that’s okay as I had a hot chocolate.

    We really liked the bath tub in the bedroom and there was plenty of parking for guests.
