About
The Fox is a pub with rooms on the High Street at Lower Oddington, between Kingham and Stow-on-the-Wold, run by Daylesford Stays. The farm shop at Daylesford is about a mile away, and the seasonal specials are led by ingredients from the Daylesford farm. St Nicholas's Church is about 500 metres away.
The kitchen serves pub classics, wood-fired sourdough pizza and seasonal specials at lunch and dinner every day, with Sunday lunch from midday to 4pm. Dogs are allowed in every part of the pub.
Upstairs and on the ground floor are six bedrooms. The Den, on the ground floor with a terrace over the walled garden, is the one room that takes dogs, and the Hunting Lodge is a family room with a twin room for children next door. Across the road, the Coachman's House is a four-bedroom self-catering farmhouse with an inglenook fire, for groups; Daylesford Stays lists it among its dog-friendly cottages; the dog charge is shown when you book, and any minimum stay is shown on its booking pages. It suits families and dog owners wanting a base in the Evenlode valley with dinner downstairs.
