Horrible smelly grubby place with terrible food. Its like going back in time, with lots of locals that stare at you. Really rude and bad vibes...have since found out why..... they support fox hunting. Don't waste your money OR give your money to pro-hunters and their illegal sport.

Grubby and support fox hunting!!!

Had a great stay and rest at the Fox and Hounds, after completing the Guisborough three peaks walk. Very friendly staff.. in particular Christina, who was very friendly and extremely helpful. Nice selection of delicious curry's on the menu.

Perfect place to rest our weary legs.

After a good day of hiking the Cleveland Way we arrived in the Fox&Hound Hotel in Slapewath and recieven a very warm welcome indeed! The person was very nice to our children who were very hungry. 
The family room was neat and tidy, and had everything we needed. The dinner was scrumptious. 
Because the hotel was near a busy road, we feared some noise, but the room was very quiet indeed! 
We felt most welcome and the children don’t not to leave the next day
Just what you need after a good hike!

Very warm welcome

On first impressions the building looks dated but this doesn't take away from the attentive staff and appeal for me. I stayed for one night in room 3 and the double bed was just perfect. Although a little small, the room has everything I needed to compliment my stay. If there is any complaint it would be that the shower is under pressured. I ate in the bar and ordered the butter chicken. Amazing and plentiful to the point I could not finish it all. Very reasonable costs too as my two courses cost £20. Breakfast is timed for sitting but once again I had the large breakfast which was plentiful to the point I left a sausage. I will happily stay here again and recommend it to my colleagues. The staff both in the evening and the morning are excellent host and are very attentive. Dont be fooled by the outside it is a lovely place and if you overnight in the hotel it's free parking.

Loved the place

This was something of a last-minute booking for two days. Then we received an email to say the bar and restaurant had suddenly closed! but there was a cafe next door. It turned out not to be a problem for us. We're not 'pubby' people anyway, and it meant that the whole ambience was nice and quiet. Hopefully, the bar and restaurant will be up and running in another two or three weeks. Check first, if you think it's important to you. Although the premises are set just off the main road, very little traffic noise was evident.

When we arrived and were looking around outside, the landlord, Abby, came out to see if we needed assistance. He gave us a very warm welcome, took us inside and introduced us to the receptionist, Christina, who also welcomed us. 

We were given the keys to our room, which was on the first floor. Don't forget (and I'm sure Abby and Christina wouldn't let you) to register your car registration number at reception, if you use the free (to residents) car park at the rear of the building. There is also free on-street parking in the lane at the front of the hotel, but that would soon get filled.

Be aware, there is no lift, so anyone with mobility issues might find that a bit of a problem. My wife and I are both hovering around 80 and Abby unhestitatingly offered to take our luggage up to our room (and down again when we were leaving). 

The room was large and airy, very clean and comfortable. As it was not possible for Abby to provided any food, he made sure there was a microwave oven, fridge, crockery and cutlery, plus copious supplies of tea, coffee, milk and sugar available to supplement the tea/coffee making equipment in the room.

The adjacent cafe provided breakfast, if required, plus light meals, such as lasagne, cottage pie etc. Perfectly adequate and very tasty. There are a number of eateries and takeaways in Guisborough, just a few minutes away by car.

On the down side, a couple of times I thought a Chinook helicopter was circling low over the building. There was the familiar 'wap, wap, wap' sound and the room shook. It didn't bother us, as we live under a helicopter flight path and are used to the sounds, but some might find it unnerving at first. I don't actually think it was a Chinook, but something to do with the water pipes! It only lasted a few minutes, though.

Overall, for the price we paid, it was a very good value experience and we weren't disappointed.



Great short stay

Absolute mint hotel! Staff will go way way out there way to make sure your happy! Highly recommend we came and since we stepped thru the door we were greeted with such profession like i say i would highly recommend

I booked this hotel, as it was an ideal B&B to base ourselves, for a golf trip over the weekend.  The accommodation was as expected, clean and fit for purpose, although a little dated and the water pressure low, it was ideal for us.  The food in the pub was first class and service was great.  Top tip read the menu first, as when it says giant it means giant.
Folks should be aware that the site consists of the hotel, pub and a restaurant, and unfortunately they do not communicate with each other, and this results in disappointed customers.
Point of note for future travellers - THE FOX &HOUNDS IS NOT A B&B!!!  If you want a breakfast this can be had at the restaurant next door at an additional cost - be advised, as I was under the impression that it was inclusive - it isn't!  There were a number of people staying at the same time who were also surprised at this development.  The restaurant does not open until 0900 so don't expect an early start to the day with a good breakfast.  We asked for a breakfast at 0800 on the Saturday when we checked in on the Friday, and were informed this would be OK.  The restaurant did not open on the Saturday for our 0800 breakfast, and when I enquired about it on the Sunday, they were totally unaware of our request.
In the evening the pub is a lively place, but be advised if you have small impressionable children, the choice vernacular from the regulars maybe off putting for some.  Not an issue for us as we are ex military, but be advised.  That being said, we were made welcome and people spoke to us.
Overall, for us it was OK and we had a bed and good food, but the lack of communication between the 3 separate businesses let tit down.

Ideal location, Poor communications

Lovely little hotel & pub, didn’t have breakfast at the cafe as 9am was too late for us. 

The main positive was the staff at the hotel, in particular Christina. She was very friendly & accomodating, a real asset to the business.

Thanks again for a great stay

Great Stay

If you want sleep before 11pm this is not the place for you, the music from downstairs is so loud until close there is no chance of sleep
