    Mary couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. I've already recommended this accommodation to my friends and family! It's in the perfect location with lots nearby to explore, and the Den was perfect to come back to, to relax in. We could have easily stayed for the week!

    Thank you so much for the very positive feedback. We are grateful that you have already recommended us and are pleased that you “absolutely loved your stay” with us. It great to meet you and hopefully will see you again in the future. Best wishes for the coming festive season Property Owner

    The Foxes Den is so classy and well thought out. Very cosy, very comfortable with everything you need. The shower was powerful and refreshing, huge comfortable bed. Extra large sofa is soooooo welcoming. Hot tub on demand and the owners were so nice! Gorgeous views and so many beautiful places to visit.

    On arrival Steven went through all of the facilities on offer. The lodge was spotlessly clean and included lots of nice touches like Prosecco milk coffee tea salt pepper plus lots of other goodies enough to get you started. You have a fridge tv hob microwave and a multi purpose grill. The bathroom is to die for best shower i have ever been in could have stayed in it all day sat on a chair.

A lovely little treat bag was waiting for the dogs to use during our stay and a welcome tipple for us too! Very thoughtful! Kitchen was fully stocked with utensils for our stay. Lodge was very clean, tidy, organised, bathroom and kitchen looked brand new, large shower, and bed very comfortable. What more could you ask for.

Beautiful views and wonderful villages, pubs and river walks all around you. Can’t wait to see what it’d be like in the summer!

    The weather was perfect. The owner was very accommodating, friendly, I would definitely consider staying again. My only complaints would be small things really, like extra bin bags and toilet roll for longer stays. As there wasn't any air-conditioning from my knowledge, a fan would have been nice in a wooden cabin on hot evenings as we couldn't open the windows at night because of the fly's getting in, so got very warm at night. Would have also been nice to have some sort of fly repellent because they got a little annoying. I'm aware we're on a farm so I understand, however maybe a mesh cover over the windows or one of those insect zapppers or something. Other than that really enjoyed the stay. Thank you.

  • "We had a wonderful 3 night stay at this beautiful lodge with a wood burning hot tub."

    A few days away gave us a feast for the eyes with the amazing countryside views. Castles and a waterfall all within a short drive. Lovely quaint villages with lovely tea rooms. Excellent information pack in the lodge gave us all details about the local places to visit and ‘The Brownlow Arms’ gave us a delicious quality meal on our last evening. We will certainly be back within the year for another break away and would without hesitation recommend this to all family and friends. If you want to escape all the stress of travelling abroad this is the place to visit, switch off from city living and enjoy he peace and sounds of the area. Thank you! Teresa and Jon

    Many thanks for taking the time to give feedback. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us and that you were able to switch off. We will pass on your compliments to the Brownlow Arms too. All the very best of wishes to you both. Property Owner

    When we arrived he greeted us and showed us to the property, the property was fantastic, very clean and cosy, just what we wanted for a few days away. Steven set up the fire burning hot tub for us and gave us a demonstration for how to do it ourselves, although he was always on hand if we needed any help! The property is modern and has everything you need!

We’ve had the best stay at Foxes Den and we will definitely be returning!

    When we arrived we were greeted by the owner Steve who showed us around and offered to get the log fuelled hot tub going whilst we went out, we also took our two dogs who were made to feel very welcome and it was brilliant to be able to let them run off the lead in the fenced field directly opposite the lodge! Foxes Den is compact and well equipped, with lounge area, dining area and neat kitchen, sleeping area with king size bed and bathroom with double shower, all brand new at the time of our stay. The dining table folded down to make room for our dog pen where our dogs stayed comfortably when they were resting after their long walks! WiFi was a great bonus as there was no phone signal and it meant we could still contact our teenagers at home! I have already told all my friends and family about these lovely hideaways and we can not wait to return! Thank you Steve and co. Faultless!

    We are so pleased you and your four legged family enjoyed the stay. We could not tell at all that your dogs had stayed with us. They are obviously a lot cleaner and better behaved than our dogs.
