Location was good for the reason of our visit. Staff friendly, we really enjoyed our evening meal. we didn't stay for breakfast as it didn't start until 10am and we needed to leave earlier.

Lively, Loud and Lovely with a Wonderfully Warm Welcome.
Pros:

On a long driving tour, visiting old haunts and the heroic airfields, in Lincolnshire I got tired and decided, mid afternoon, to get a bed for the night, a quick google search and the Fountain in Tuxford sprung up!
Great Value & Easy to book through booking.com, easier and even cheaper via the phone ⭐️ the welcome from Frenchie, Nanny P and the charming Ivy was rather humbling ⭐️ it was obvious that I was a mere secondary consideration as they lavished attention on FitzRoyBeagle (He got treats, a blanket and his own towel too!) SO DOG FRIENDLY! ⭐️
It was a lovely day, the place was very lively, great music, the garden was full of families having a great time, my room was above all that yet I still managed a good afternoon nap! Great Deep Bath too ⭐️
Nice dog walks nearby and I recommend the Steak From the evening menu, dining felt very familial, everyone was so friendly! ⭐️ It's now 2330 hours, the place has fallen wonderfully quiet and a great night's sleep is on the cards...

If it's a fun, lively, and welcoming family vibe you're after, with good grub, and a comfy bed this ticks all the boxes!
Free Parking!⭐️
Free WiFi ⭐️
Count the Stars. Such good value for much less than big name

Cons:

The Fountain is a great pub, a good restaurant, and a hotel, it combines all three in a relatively small building and though the staff make it work, each aspect suffers a little for that. it’s not the place for a romantic meal, nor a quiet getaway but the sum of the parts is greater than it should be.
It’s near the railway tracks and there is some noise from that.

Pros:

The staff were very friendly & welcoming.
The room was ok.

Cons:

The room was far too hot & the thermostat wouldn't lower the temperature. I was later told that the manager could access the thermostat remotely!!
I was above the pub & conservatory, so you could hear the music quite loudly & the people coming to the pub talking.
The room had a mirror that had icons lit up on it, which lit the room all night, so I had to put a towel over it to dim it and been able to sleep
