This is the perfect place to stay, eat and just chill with a coffee. It serves a social purpose so you are helping young people with learning difficulties to become team members in hospitality. What could be better than that? Prices are low but quality of service and food/drink excellent.

I had a marvellous short break at Foxes, with my elderly Father.We had a lovely room with wonderful sea views.The staff went above and beyond to help make things as easy and enjoyable as possible. Everything is spotlessly clean, the food was amazing, plenty of parking, with accessible ramp into the building, automatic door and speaking lift. We loved meeting the students and are in awe of the 'life changing' work the staff do.It is truly, a gem of a place, that we will certainly, return to.

Popped in for a quick bite to eat for lunch 2 weeks ago. Fantastic service.Sat outside as it was a beautiful day, the staff were incredibly friendly and the waitress Abbey was amazing. Extremely professional and polite.The price for a steak and caramalised onion baguette with salad and crisps + bacon and brie sandwich was £9 all in. Great value. Will be coming back.Thank you for the great work you guys are doing.
