Family-friendly village inn with a private guest courtyard and a gourmet British restaurant in Wilbarston
Accommodations
The Fox Inn offers family rooms with private bathrooms, and some ground-floor units provide direct access to a secluded courtyard reserved for guests. Each room includes a flat-screen TV and heating, and the private entrance for guests enhances both privacy and convenience. The rooms are located in a quiet annexe across the courtyard, separate from the main pub building.
Dining
The family-friendly restaurant serves British cuisine for lunch, dinner, and high tea, with a children's menu available. Breakfast offers a full English/Irish buffet, with vegetarian and gluten-free options provided at no extra charge. The kitchen also prepares a separate catering menu for children, distinct from the adult menu.
Outdoor & Leisure
The property has a sun terrace with inner courtyard views and a picnic area for outdoor dining. Evening entertainment includes live music and performance events, and the large beer garden overlooks the village green. Board games and puzzles are available in the pub for guests to use.
Location & Services
The Fox Inn is located 63 km from East Midlands Airport, with free on-site parking available for all guests. Nearby attractions include Rockingham Castle within 7 km and Kelmarsh Hall at 17 km. The hotel also offers packed lunches on request and is pet-friendly, with pet bowls provided for furry companions.
Children & Families
The hotel offers a dedicated children's menu in the restaurant and a separate catering menu for children that differs from the adult offerings.

“This inn feels like a genuinely cared-for village establishment, where the hospitality, led by a particularly attentive landlady, makes guests feel truly at home. The kitchen turns out consistently good, thoughtfully prepared food, from excellent breakfasts to well-executed evening meals and specials that represent solid value. It's clear a lot of effort goes into creating a welcoming atmosphere, right down to the comfortable rooms and small touches that elevate a stay.”
