“The Black Fox strikes me as a proper Bath experience, where a convivial pub meets comfortable, if quirky, lodging. I appreciate its embrace of local suppliers, both in the well-stocked bar and at breakfast. Its location puts you steps away from the Roman Baths, which makes it an ideal base for exploring the city's historical heart, especially if you enjoy traveling with your dog.”
