Fox & Hound Hotel

Only went here for a light lunch and not to stay. The restaurant seemed to be somewhat lacking in atmosphere and customers. The waiter, however, was very friendly and efficient and the order didn't take too long to arrive.. The food itself was extremely ordinary with no finesse whatsoever. The prices were very, very reasonable.

We stayed one night while visiting the area. Great location for visiting the North your moors and Whitby etc. Abby was very welcoming and made us feel very at ease. Nothing was too much trouble. We had the family room and the main bed was very comfortable, with a sofa bed for our girls. Nice quiet location with free parking.

My friend and I stayed here as we were going to a wedding at Guisborough hall. The room is basic but absolutely sufficient and only 5 mins from guisborough hall. Would recommend. We were able to check in early and the member of staff was really helpful.

Our Bike Club Collateral Damage stayed here for 3 nights Bed and Breakfast and ate here for 2 of those nights. Our hosts couldn’t have made us more welcome. The rooms are basic, clean, and the beds comfortable. The food was good and service excellent. You can pre order your breakfast and arrange the timing accordingly. It was a good base for us to stay and travel around from and would definitely go back if we are up that way.

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.

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. Jim

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.

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!

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.
