About The Fox Goes Free
Rooms at The Fox Goes Free are simple and few in number, just five in total, each with its own en-suite bathroom and drinks provided in the room. It's the kind of set-up where you get a proper bed above a proper pub, rather than a corridor of identical hotel doors, and 24 hour reception means arrival isn't tied to fixed hours.
Downstairs, the bar and restaurant do the daily work, with breakfast included and free WiFi throughout. The pub atmosphere carries through the building, and free on-site parking makes it an easy stop for anyone driving into the area rather than relying on trains.
The village of Charlton sits within reach of Chichester and right on the edge of the South Downs National Park, so walking and cycling routes start more or less from the door. Further pubs, bars and restaurants are close by if you fancy a change of scene, but for many the appeal is simply staying put and eating where you sleep.
