The place
At Fox, you've got everything needed for a few days of relaxation, with no distractions at all. Inside, it’s all sleek, clean lines in wood tones and matt blacks. It’s full of light from the giant picture window, where you’ll wake up with your dog to views of a hillside covered in trees every morning. Hereford’s to the north, Ross-on-Wye to the south, as well as the Malvern Hills and the Black Mountains, so you're perfectly placed if you fancy some adventures with an eager dog! But, it’s easy enough to go absolutely nowhere too. There’s plenty to do on site, with the ability to book many activities, like facials, massages, wildflower walks, foraging, and even paddleboarding lessons. Or simply wander down to the river for a wild swim and an afternoon by the water! Whatever you do, there’s a hot tub waiting for you to sink into at the end of the day.
