A Little Pub History

Contrary to popular belief, The Fox House was named after Mr Fox of Callow Farm in Highlow, not the small animal. Dating back to 1773, the building was extended by The Duke of Rutland, the landlord in the 1840's. With years of heritage, The Fox House was a favoured resting place for livestock drivers and the passengers of stagecoaches.

Charming Local Accommodation

Our 10 bedroom Innkeeper's Lodge continues The Fox House's tradition of welcoming travellers. It's our local charm that attracts motorists and ramblers, as well as diners and drinkers from Longshaw and nearby Dore, Owler Bar and Hathersage. We also welcome business and leisure travellers to enjoy some of the best bedrooms and accommodation in Longshaw.

Around The Area

Originally part of the Longshaw Estate, a beautiful area for ramblers, the 18th Century Fox House is well known. The large bottom room was known as The Duke's Room because the Duke of Rutland sometimes slept there.
