Review: The Savvy Fox and Hotel Wrexham

Nestled in the countryside just outside of Wrexham, The Savvy Fox and its accompanying Hotel Wrexham have quickly become a hotspot for locals and visitors. Combining contemporary style, excellent dining, and a welcoming atmosphere, the venue offers an enticing experience. After a notable refurbishment, it is a vibrant addition to the town’s hospitality scene, particularly throughout the festive season.

The Refurbishment: Modern Charm with Classic Appeal

The first thing that stands out about The Savvy Fox and Hotel Wrexham is the impressive refurbishment. Gone are the days of outdated décor and tired interiors; the space has been transformed into a modern, stylish setting that feels fresh yet welcoming. The design balances contemporary touches—sleek lines, tasteful lighting, and plush furnishings—with warm accents that make the space feel homely. The neutral colour palette, punctuated with rich textures, creates an elegant atmosphere ideal for both casual visits and special occasions.

The hotel itself boasts a mix of comfortable, well-appointed rooms that are perfect for a short stay or weekend getaway. The rooms have been thoughtfully renovated to offer modern conveniences, from comfy beds and white bedding and sleek en-suite bathrooms to high-tech amenities such as smart TVs .  The refurbishments have certainly elevated the standard of accommodation in Wrexham, offering a sophisticated yet relaxed setting for guests.  Just inside the Welsh border, the location is perfect for exploring the beautiful surroundings, 25 minutes from the historic towns of Nantwich and Chester and shopaholics out there just 20 minutes from Cheshire Oaks. The perfect place for Christmas shopping and the January sales. So whether you are looking for history to explore the scenic Welsh countryside Hotel Wrexham and the Savvy Fox is the perfect place to call home for a few days on the way to the Welsh coast or as a base to start your adventures from.

Dining at The Savvy Fox: A Culinary Delight

Food is at the heart of the Savvy Fox experience, and the restaurant does not disappoint. The menu is a delightful mix of contemporary British fare, showcasing fresh, locally sourced ingredients with a focus on quality and flavour. Whether you’re stopping in for a casual bite or enjoying a more refined dining experience, the kitchen’s attention to detail shines through.

For starters, I had the ham Hock terrine which was full of flavour, or you could opt for the Welsh rarebit. Made with locally sourced cheese    Fox’s lamb shank Shepard’s pie is a standout dish:  filling, delicious and perfectly seasoned.  (My husband said it was the best thing he had eaten in a very long time) the perfectly cooked steaks with sides such as truffle home-made chips are a crowd-pleaser, with tender meat and vibrant flavours. Vegetarians are also well-catered, with seasonal dishes that highlight the best of local produce. The dessert menu is equally tempting, with options like the indulgent Eton Mess and a signature Cheesecake, and if you have room left we indulged in a cheeseboard providing the perfect ending following the Eton Messes sweet ending to a memorable meal. The Cheese is also locally sourced.  Finishing off with our Calypso coffees.  The atmosphere was friendly the staff were attentive especially Mark the general manager and the lovely Grace for reception who was helpful, providing us with lots of information

The drinks menu, too, is well-curated, offering a range of local ales, craft cocktails, and an extensive wine list. The bar area is stylish yet relaxed, making it a great spot to unwind after a meal or socialize with friends.
