Food and drink are inconsistent, with reports of the bar being closed or unlicensed and meals, especially breakfasts or dinners on some days, not available. The location suits motorists near the M40 and feels quiet or somewhat isolated. Expect comfortable rooms but check opening hours, food service, and access arrangements before arrival.

I had an extremely disappointing and unsafe experience at The Chilterns Fox. With no dinner available at the hotel, I went out to eat elsewhere, only to return and find all the doors locked, the lights off, and no staff present. There was no contact number provided, leaving me stranded and unsure of what to do. I even had to call the police for advice. Desperate for help, I approached a neighbor, who informed me this has been a recurring issue for weeks. Guests have been locked out with no way to re-enter. The lack of customer service and basic safety measures is shocking. As a young woman traveling alone, I felt especially vulnerable. When I finally managed to speak to the owner, their response was dismissive and uncaring. It was simply too scary to stay another night, so I left the next day and booked into an alternative hotel for the rest of the week. This hotel offers no dinner, no bar, no breakfast, and absolutely no sense of security. I cannot recommend it to anyone.

Unfortunately for some reason the new proprietor was waiting for the alcohol license to be completed. So bar was closed, something that Expedia should have mentioned as part of the booking.

Recently changed hands and the new owners are not up and running fully yet. Room is nice but the bar was closed as no licence yet and no one around in the morning to sort breakfast that I was told was 8.30. The place had all the lights out and was deserted and clearly not going to be doing my breakfast. I left hungry.

On arrival it was a poor check in experience a table in the bar that can’t sell alcohol as it has no licence. No information as to breakfast times etc. So didn’t have it. Room was very nice but cold had to ask for heating to be put on in hotel. Went out for a meal got back at 830 from door locked. Had to bang on window to get attention. Staff have no clue how to do service. I also kept getting messages saying my room had been cancelled which it hadn’t.

Booked this hotel last minute as a stop over on the way to London and glad we did. The room was exceptionally clean and tidy as well as being well decorated and comfy. Quaint little bar and restaurant is attached, we didn't eat but did enjoy a drink in the courtyard style patio. We were given a ground floor room (named wisteria) that was a great size with a huge bathroom, the room had a smart TV and some very welcome air-conditioning during a heatwave. Would definitely stay again and even considering stopping on our way home.

I was given a ground floor room. Was amazed when I stepped into the bedroom. It had a desk, 2 bottles of water, one still and one sparkling. It boasted a really comfy lounge chair and a bed that was so comfortable that I didn't want to get out of it! The bathroom was large with in one corner a freestanding bath with a shower attachment. In the centre of the bathroom was a double sink and in the other corner a fabulous walk-in shower. It had a rainforest shower head and a separate shower attachment. Everywhere in the hotel was very clean. Customer service was brilliant and the staff couldn't do enough for their guests. I stay in a lot of hotels and if this was in the city centre, it would be at least double the price! I can't rate this hotel highly enough and genuinely would recommend it to everyone and anyone 5*

Well the reviews said good our review is terrible, They gave our room to someone else apparently Our new room the key wouldn't work so we couldn't get in but the cleaner did to clean the room but how you ask? The only room they had was an upgrade but someone had been asleep on it and been throwing their fags outside the door, the garden was overgrown and there was garden rubbish everywhere. They simply didn't care if we were happy or not and other customers were leaving too. Never ever would we have stayed there so we left to find somewhere more suitable Dreadful service apart from the poor girl on reception who had no support the foreign manager

Where do I start? Firstly turn up to a hotel In The middle of nowhere to a sign on the door they aren’t serving food.. Secondly, I was getting a room with a Balcony but didn’t because there was an issue with the lock. Thirdly the TV is something out of the Stone Age Fourthly, there was what appeared to be a spiders nest in the toilet, every time it was left for a while you’d open it and have loads of little spiders. Was given the smallest roll of toilet roll with no spares, couldn’t find anyone to ask for more. Can we normalise better TV’s in hotels?

We stopped here as it is very convenient to the M40. We loved the charm of the building and the decor of the room we had was tasteful and beautiful ( Stag). Our ground floor room had a lovely open outlook over fields. Large bathroom. We had dinner in the restaurant which we really enjoyed although the hotel was very quiet. The owner could not have been more attentive. Lovely stay and good value for money.

Arrived relatively late (about an hour after my dinner booking at the time of last food orders) but was welcomed and well looked after by Tim and the team, not rushed at all, and fed and watered and entertained! Very lovely relaxed evening, great breakfast. Good food, comfortable and unpretentious. Hugely preferable to an airport hotel if you are on your way to Heathrow the next day, as I was - 30-40 minutes drive depending on traffic. But would definitely come and stay again regardless.

We stopped here as it is very convenient to the M40. We loved the charm of the building and the decor of the room we had was tasteful and beautiful ( Stag). Our ground floor room had a lovely open outlook over fields. Large bathroom. We had dinner in the restaurant which we really enjoyed although the hotel was very quiet. The owner could not have been more attentive. Lovely stay and good value for money.

Absolutely lovely stay at the chiltern fox! Our babysitter cancelled on us last minute and we had a night away for our anniversary with wine tasting so had to cancel the wine tasting and added our 4 month old to our stay at the chiltern fox and they were so accommodating to us for our little boy! they upgraded our room for us as we informed them our situation which was so kind! the room was beautiful and the service and food was fantastic, we felt really looked after! It’s a beautiful little stay, out of the way which is nice. We’re looking forward to rebooking again when we redo our wine tasting!

Booked this hotel last minute as a stop over on the way to London and glad we did. The room was exceptionally clean and tidy as well as being well decorated and comfy. Quaint little bar and restaurant is attached, we didn't eat but did enjoy a drink in the courtyard style patio. We were given a ground floor room (named wisteria) that was a great size with a huge bathroom, the room had a smart TV and some very welcome air-conditioning during a heatwave. Would definitely stay again and even considering stopping on our way home.

Where do I start? Firstly turn up to a hotel In The middle of nowhere to a sign on the door they aren’t serving food.. Secondly, I was getting a room with a Balcony but didn’t because there was an issue with the lock. Thirdly the TV is something out of the Stone Age Fourthly, there was what appeared to be a spiders nest in the toilet, every time it was left for a while you’d open it and have loads of little spiders. Was given the smallest roll of toilet roll with no spares, couldn’t find anyone to ask for more. Can we normalise better TV’s in hotels?

Arrived relatively late (about an hour after my dinner booking at the time of last food orders) but was welcomed and well looked after by Tim and the team, not rushed at all, and fed and watered and entertained! Very lovely relaxed evening, great breakfast. Good food, comfortable and unpretentious. Hugely preferable to an airport hotel if you are on your way to Heathrow the next day, as I was - 30-40 minutes drive depending on traffic. But would definitely come and stay again regardless.

I had an extremely disappointing and unsafe experience at The Chilterns Fox. With no dinner available at the hotel, I went out to eat elsewhere, only to return and find all the doors locked, the lights off, and no staff present. There was no contact number provided, leaving me stranded and unsure of what to do. I even had to call the police for advice. Desperate for help, I approached a neighbor, who informed me this has been a recurring issue for weeks. Guests have been locked out with no way to re-enter. The lack of customer service and basic safety measures is shocking. As a young woman traveling alone, I felt especially vulnerable. When I finally managed to speak to the owner, their response was dismissive and uncaring. It was simply too scary to stay another night, so I left the next day and booked into an alternative hotel for the rest of the week. This hotel offers no dinner, no bar, no breakfast, and absolutely no sense of security. I cannot recommend it to anyone.

Recently changed hands and the new owners are not up and running fully yet. Room is nice but the bar was closed as no licence yet and no one around in the morning to sort breakfast that I was told was 8.30. The place had all the lights out and was deserted and clearly not going to be doing my breakfast. I left hungry.
