    All-around great experience

    November 28, 2012

    My girlfriend and I spent two nights here in the fall. I'll start by saying that the hosts are absolutely wonderful. Mark and Sue are gracious, friendly, attentive, and thoughtful. They keep the rooms are as clean as any I've ever enjoyed. The grounds are gorgeous and well-maintained. The amenities were exactly as promised on their website. Breakfasts were above and beyond what we expected. You would pay a lot of money at a 5 star restaurant to eat so well. The location is perfect for a weekend getaway - close to tourist attractions, but far enough from the city to see an absolutely beautiful starscape on clear nights. If you're looking for a place to unplug for a few days and enjoy some fresh air, Fox Hill is the place.

    For a comfortable and relaxing weekend, stay at Fox Hill B&B

    October 01, 2012

    Fox Hill was our first B&B that we stayed in and we could not have been more pleased with the room, service and the delicious breakfast that was served. The owners were wonderful people and they made you feel right at home. I was very excited and happy that we could bring our two dogs with us because they do travel everywhere with us. They were very accommodating to all of us. We would highly recommend Fox Hill to anyone that is interested in having a relaxing and fun weekend.

    Beautiful and Relaxing

    September 06, 2012

    We recently had an overnight stay in the Cornwall room at Fox Hill. Mark and Sue were so friendly and answered questions before we could even think of them. The room was very spacious and immaculate. We took a walk over the grounds and they are lovely. Even our cockapoo felt at home and appreciated being thought of with his own complimentary treat left in our room!

    an amazing experience

    December 12, 2011

    We enoyed our time here. The room was large, but incredibly cozy with tasteful decoration and a cheery fireplace. Views were amazing to include a beautiful sunset and mountains all around. We enjoyed the animals, which were very friendly, and Mark made an excellent breakfast both mornings . Highly recommended.

    Best b&b yet

    May 30, 2011

    We chose this b&b for our 25th anniversary because of the location and the beautiful grounds. It was more than we expected! The room is more elegant than the pictures on the web site, yet not stuffy or "fru-fur". the views from our room were stunning. We stayed on the grounds most of one day just enjoying a private grassy spot near a babbling brook reading and sunning. Mark and Sue great hosts- very helpful and available. We loved the private deck and entrance. We will definitely return!
