The room doors are fire doors and quite heavy. When you close them, they really slam shut!, so you can hear everybody's door slamming, which was a bit annoying as there were a few staying the night we were there. The only minor point we had, everything else was great.

Staff excellent, location great, we used it as a base for our visit to Hadrians Wall, food very good and lots of it, great atmosphere, lovely locals, room 3 has an awesome view from the window over the walking dog track and the local river. Defintely Recommend.

Nothing to complain about apart from the weather- rain.

A very relaxing and pleasant stay. Excellent value for money. perfect location for what I was doing (photography)> Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Food very good. No complaints really.

Only criticism would be the food menu, reasonable amount of choice but ordinary quality and not great value for money.

This inn offers nice, comfortable, clean and spacious rooms in the lovely setting of Armathwaite, which is perfect for walks and access to the attractions of the Lake District and Hadrian's Wall. The Fox and Pheasant Inn is a pub with plenty of character and facilities in the rooms are good, with everything well maintained. Breakfasts are also good and plentiful. Staff very helpful and pleasant.

The late check in. 5pm I think is far too late. 3pm seems to be the norm.

Friendly staff relaxed atmosphere.

Nothing comes to mind.

Asked for a quiet room and got one. Very comfortable bed, also staff and restaurant food were excellent. Having had evening meals in the restaurant on both nights, we weren't able to have a large breakfast the following morning - although the selection was varied. Certainly a very popular venue judging by the number of visitors!Nothing

The shower screen in the room was broken (did not stay in position making showering difficult) and the room was noisy as being so close to the road.

Slight issue with the TV, but this did not really cause a problem for us. Shower screen was a bit short, so the floor got quite wet, again, not a problem for us, as we were careful to dry it, but the owners may wish to address this.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good. Comfortable and clean room. A lovely setting in a quiet village.

This was such a find as a stop off en route from London to Scotland. It is only a small diversion off the M6 and so so worth it. A lovely village, the welcome in the Fox was excellent, as was the food. Room was small but lovely and comfortable. Just a few minutes walk is the river where you can let the dogs off the lead (left side of the bridge - cows the other) and it was so nice walking under the trees and beside the rapids. we even saw frolicking deer.

The welcome when I arrived after 12 hours of travelling was great, I was shown to my room which was very clean, comfortable and well appointed. In lieu of breakfast, I needed to leave at 6am I was given a freshly prepared packed lunch, which I am looking forward to

Aside from the hill out of the village the next morning it was great

Lovely Inn in a lovely hidden part of England. Welcoming staff and good food. The breakfast was super. Good selection of nice beers and a lively atmosphere in the bar. Helped that it was also a nice evening too. Rooms were very comfortable and the towel rails worked which is important when you’re on a cycling tour and need to wash kit.

Perfect place to base for a couple of day trips in the area such as Hadrian's Wall. Loved the small Village, country, quiet atmosphere. There's even a nice hiking trail with a trailhead adjacent to the property.
