Perfect!
Pros:

Great location for a wedding I was attending. Honestly couldn’t have been a better service. The manager was amazing & went above and beyond. If you are staying in the area, please stay here.

Extremely welcoming, convenient and clean; I have no hesitation in recommending
Pros:

The venue is conveniently located and there was a positive vibe in the bar area. The room was spotlessly clean. There were plenty of refreshments - a variety of teas, coffee, chocolate and water. The bed was comfortable. Bathroom and shower first class. The staff were welcoming, polite and extremely helpful.

Cons:

There were no negatives.

A gem in South London!
Pros:

The Fox & Hounds is a real gem - about a 10 minute walk from Forest Hill station, if you're attending an event in London, this is a brilliant place to stay. A super comfortable bed, really nicely furnished and very quiet and restful! The pub itself is great too, and the staff were really accommodating. Highly recommend!

Cons:

Nothing, this was a brilliant location
