Foxhills Description

Foxhills provides a perfect year-round short break destination, whether for a special occasion, a tranquillity break, bed and breakfast or business trip. Our attention to detail has earned us a five diamond gold award from the English Tourism Council and Five Red Diamonds by the AA - all of which is thoroughly endorsed by the many delightful messages in our visitors' book.

Truly outstanding, Foxhills sits beside a wide leafy avenue amidst beautiful gardens backed by dappled woodland. Imaginatively decorated with excellent facilities Foxhills offers the highest standards - as befits a Five Diamond Gold and AA Five Red Diamond rating. When you are feeling a little jaded and the stresses and strains of life are beginning to show, steal away to Foxhills on the 'Garden Isle' and revive yourself. We are just a 5 minute taxi journey from Shanklin station at the terminus of the Island rail line, with easy connections to Portsmouth, London and the North.

Sip a drink by the log fire in the elegant lounge (in the cooler months), lose yourself in the flicker of a flame, a wisp of smoke and the scents of oak, ash or elm. Maybe enjoy afternoon tea, with a scrumptious selection of home baked scones and cakes or just relax with a paper.

Our double and twin rooms are en-suite and all bedrooms have been beautifully refurbished. They offer direct dial telephone with separate computer point, colour television, hairdryer, tea/coffee facilities and mini bar on request. For that special occasion, our Osborne suite offers a four poster bed, and those little extra touches that add luxury to its Victorian elegance.

All rooms are now provided with DVD and CD players.  Foxhills hold a large library of up-to-date DVDs for guests to use.

Luxuriate in the whirlpool spa which is also available for private sessions by guests. Melt away your tensions, and clear your mind. To complement the facilities within Foxhills, arrangements have been made for guests to use a neighbouring swimming pool, sauna and gym (at a small additional cost).

Walks, cycle routes and car tours, have all been researched for you, and route maps are supplied free of charge. Picnic lunches are also available for those days out.

Riding, flying lessons, plane and helicopter pleasure flights, golf, and intensive driving courses can be arranged.

We are fully licensed and a wide range of cocktails, wines, beers, spirits and soft drinks are available.
