Excellent location in a green area inside London. Old building partially modernised but very importantly, it is clean! Disappointing was not being able to sit in the pubs restaurant area and have a nice warm English breakfast! Overall good stay with many improvement opotunities.

Classy gastro pub
A charming hotel located in prime position, literally on the edge of Wimbledon Common. Classy decor, warm and welcoming service coupled with a cosy and welcoming restaurant and bar area, this place takes a lot of beating. One minor note of caution however - the property is marketed as having free parking - this is in the case, there are only 2 spaces outside the front of the hotel and they come with restrictions. In our case, the manager went above and beyond by going out of his way to purchase and display a parking ticket for our car. Excellent job all round.

Great food but slipped on detail on accomodation
Food was great and service very nice but little details let them down such as: a muddy floor on way to upstairs; inability to give us any breakfast before 8.00; no breakfast tea or more than one coffee pod in bedroom; no info in bedroom nor anyone to contact so couldn’t work out the heating or find a Wi-fi code. The quilt was a summer one and the pillows shallow. Wouldn’t need much to make this place exceptional but someone needs to get a grip on the detail.

The room was nice but outside was very noisey. Breakfast was offered as free which appealed to me as I was up early for a course locally, however breakfast wasn't served until 09:00, which was too late for me. Free parking was advertised also but meter fee was needed. On the whole, the hotel was nice, the pub looked really lovely. Even some fruit / cereal accessible for the morning would have made the no breakfast more manageable.

It’s not a 5 star hotel but it is a 5 star pub/hotel. Wonderful helpful staff, room, and food, and isolated enough in Wimbledon to be quiet yet it was only a 11 minute walk across the commons to a great restaurant. The AC was slightly noisy as it cycled but completely worth it in the heat. Parking coupons made parking very easy.

Location good, staff OK, parking difficult. Reasonable size room, bathroom could do with being refurbished, v small patio mentioned as a plus but dirty and full of dead leaves. Very noisy air conditioning unit. Access to bedrooms via stairs sharing with staff accessing kitchen and store rooms smelly and in dire need of repainting. Breakfast very poor, in fact a disgrace.

Well maintained nice location great for Wimbledon Common. Bring your eye mask and ear plugs - the pub sign creaks when it is windy - the rooms are above a pub/restaurant so noisy till closing - quite a lot of traffic drives past in the morning as people go for a walk and the blinds let in a lot of light. Staff are friendly but you don’t really feel “looked after”.

This is my third stay
I have now stayed in each of the three rooms and can honestly say they are equally comfortable, clean and cosy. The facilities are very good, with plenty of mineral water and a nespresso coffee maker. There was a little lack of detail in the tea on offer (no English breakfast tea, when we went down for breakfast for example). My colleague had to go and fetch milk for both of our rooms. There is a nice touch in the cookies they leave in each room. The restaurant serves lovely food but be aware of the. OST of a full bottle of wine. It is rather overpriced, but perhaps that’s Wimbledon prices. It is very nicely situated and very comfortable

Wombling by Wimbledon Common
Accommodation was ideally located next to Wimbledon Common for walking and a short stroll from Wimbledon Village which has nice shops and cafes. The room was small but perfectly proportioned with its own air conditioning and a Nespresso coffeemaker. It was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The restaurant served amazing food and the staff were friendly. In short a perfect place to stay.

Great food
Great hotel on the edge of Wimbledon Common. A little off the beaten track if you aren't familiar with the area. The food was absolutely fabulous, as was the ambience in the bar/restaurant. Room (named after Womble Characters) was clean and spacious. Good choice of teas and freshly made biscuits. The included continental breakfast was good and ample

Quiet, comfortable, friendly pub on the Common :)
I usually avoid staying in pub accommodation mainly because they are often noisy but the Fox and Grapes was very quiet. It is situated on a quiet street at the far side of Wimbledon Common but within Few minutes walk of Wimbledon Village where you will easily find food to suit your mood (Italian, Thai, Indian, Chinese, pub food etc.) You could of course also eat in the bar which has typical gastro-pub fare. The menu is notvextensive but adequate and the quality is very good. It is however, , as with all gastr-pubs, a little on the expensive side. My room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable: double bed, television, table and chair plus tea, coffee and biscuits. The ensuite shower room (no bath but not a big deal for me) was spotlessly clean and the usual shower gel, shampoo and moisturising cream supplied. Rooms are cutely named after the Wombles, I was with Madam Cholet. Continental breakfast comes with the room and available from 8:00am which was a little late for me as I had to leave at 7:00 but I mentioned this in the evening and was offered a breakfast basket outside my door in the morning. This I accepted and so had croissant, cereals, orange juice and jams as soon as I awoke and really appreciated. I seldom write more than a couple of lines in a review so apologies for the essay but the fox and Grapes and her staff deserve more.! Four stars from me :)

The room was well decorated but rather small. The service at breakfast was very poor. When I arrived downstairs there was no-one to ask where the breakfast was. I asked a member of staff that looked like the cleaner and she wasn't much help. Basically I ended up just eating what was on the table which was an individual pack of cereal! For £112.50 a night with Continental breakfast included, I think this was very poor.

Dead plants on the patio?
I had a mixed experience at this small hotel. The neighborhood is lovely and I thought the breakfast, which I've seen several negative reviews of was fine. The bathroom was spacious, which I appreciated, and the room had a really nice and relaxing, and private, patio. But on the patio were two obviously dead large potted plants/shrubs with their dried up brown leaves scattered around the kind of grimy looking patio space. How does that happen? Looked like maybe nobody had stayed in that room for a few days but don't you check the room/patio before a new guest arrives? Also, was given no informatoon about room features by the young gentleman who showed me to the room. He appeared to be a restaurant worker--there was no specific place to check in or talk to the proprietors from what I saw--the restaurant staff just handled things. This became an issue when I needed the WiFi code but couldn't find it in the room. The restaurant was closed but there was no one else to ask. Also could not find the AC at first, although eventually figured out it was on the wall above the bed, which is a first in my experience. Also only found the USB charging port by accident, which I also really needed since I didn't have UK electric adaptor since only there for one night. In other words, some sort obviously positioned info sheet would have nice (including TV channel list). Room was OK but furnished in budget IKEA style-- would expect more from this sort of lodging.

Handy for Wimbledon
Good location due to proximity to Wimbledon, however, the 1st night little sleep due to fault in the music system , which switched itself on automatically at 4am ( and didn't stop till 7am!). Irish girl very apologetic, however the manager had a very poor attitude - some-what surly. Room comfy though only a shower and, the blind was dirty and see though, so could do with replacing. Basic food .

Don't usually stay in "inns" but this was a nice experience. Very friendly people. Room was nice with good linens and towels, free mineral water, decent tea / coffee tray. Continental breakfast was very basic (cereal, jam, not offered any bread) but the hot options were nice. Service for breakfast and checkout wasn't as good as the checkin experience but nothing to really complain about. Lovely location visually but a bit out the way for public transport other than the 93 bus. This is fine in daylight but it's quite a walk in the dark at night.

Located near Wimbledon - at the top of the hill
Be prepared for a workout if you get off at South Wimbledon or Wimbledon stations. There is a big hill especially if carrying a back pack and - unfit 😬. Very central, excellent pub, dog friendly, good food and character.
