Rachael

22nd May to 29th may 2026 What a fantastic week as Foxes Den This was our second time there, and it was even better than the last. We had incredible weather and there is always plenty to see and do. It's always such a lovely place to come back to after a busy day exploring. We loved feeding the chickens & Ducks and Seeing the sheep, we had a little visit from Mr Toad and Mrs Owl too! We will definately be coming back for again, this is the best holiday accommodation we have stopped in yet! Thank you! Rachael, Liam and Lily

Michael

Our second stay here and it didnt disappoint. The place is amazing and a must stay!

We have stayed in many Sykes properties and this is the best one yet. The accommodation was perfect and the area itself is stunning. We did luck out with the weather. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking to escape and relax

Matthew

Just perfect . .. in every sense of the word ... by a far margin the best lodge me and my now fiance have ever stayed in and we go on these types of holidays regularly .... i will always remember this place as during our stay here me and my girlfriend got engaged ... we definitely hope to return in the future. Thanks Matt and Petra

We had a beautiful Christmas away at foxes den. It felt home from home. Both dogs settled well into the lodge and enjoyed sitting in front of the log burner. Sitting in the hot tub under the stars an added bonus .

Return guests and would visit again. Love this place. Great location and the lodge is beautiful. There is everything you need. Love the hot tub and the chickens, although no eggs this time. Love the new addition of the air fryer. My one piece of constructive criticism is please clean the huge hanging light. It is so gorgeous but those cobwebs need to go. Also visit food 2 remember in malton butchers its amazing! We will be back and cant wait to see what you were building.

Lovely modern spacious accommodation which was fully equipped. very warm reception with a very generous welcome pack. would have liked more comfortable chairs or sofas in the lounge. the situation of the property is quiet and has very attractive surroundings. the photo on the website does not do justice to its aspect. limited headroom in the upstairs bedroom.

We loved our stay at the hideaway, nestled on the edge of a beautiful village. Plenty of things to do and lots of stunning places to visit.

Alison

Fantastic stay at Foxes Den. Beautiful accommodation, the owners have thought of everything when designing. Comfy beds, gorgeous bathroom & hot tub a real treat! Great location with pub 2 min walk though disappointing they do not allow dogs even in bar which was a real shame otherwise would have liked to eaten there, pretty villages of Thornton le dale & pickering within 10 mins & coast 25 mins. Hope to return!

Derren

Absolutely loved staying at Foxes Den. My wife and I had a lovely week here. The Lodge has everything you need and is in a stunning part of the country. 1010. We will be returning.

The Foxes Den was amazing. It has Everything you need and more. The area that it sits is absolutely breathtaking. We will definitely be back hopefully next year

Great lodge in a fantastic location on edge of Danby Forest. One observation, lots of sunshine last week, deck area could do with having a sun umbrella for shade purposes, otherwise 5 star luxury stay, thanks

We loved our stay at foxes den as a family of 4 with a dog, facilities provided ... We loved our stay at foxes den as a family of 4 with a dog, facilities provided were perfect and we will be looking to return in the future

The accommodation and wider facilities are excellent quality. The owners clearly have a great passion for what they do. We have stayed here on three different occasions and would highly recommend to others, whether it be for a family get away or a couples retreat.

I never thought we would find somewhere as nice as this with a dog in tow. Absolutely stunning lodge and a welcome hamper was such a lovely touch as were the dog treats. As a family we loved it, my son was devastated to leave his new friends Hettie and Betty. Everywhere is within 2030 mins drive so location is perfect, we will 100 be back. The only negative I had and it's a small one, was there was no big outdoor dining table I seen one of the other lodges had a big outdoor table so maybe they are in process of putting these in. But let me be clear this lodge is amazing and we will definitely be back we loved it so much, like a home away from home.

Carolyn

Wonderful lodge in beautiful surroundings and ideally located for places to visit. Loved feeding animals and my dog loved the field above and we liked taking in the view.

We have stayed in a few dog friendly cottages over the last 56 years, these cottages and the facilities are excellent, it seems like they have thought though what guests would like and what they would expect and provided exactly that, even down to an air fryer in the kitchen which i have never come across, there really Is too may excellent things to note here, all i can say is this couple have an amazing business model and experiencing them for ourselves i can say they are worth every penny. First Class experience.

Jocelyn

Wonderful property just as described with lots of lovely special touches to make you feel welcome. Well equipped too. The location is great for exploring the area and theres lots to do. Hope to return again.

The property was exactly as advertised and it was clean, comfortable, relaxing and well maintained. Very well thought through and its clear to see that the owners think outside of the box and try to make sure that you have all you will need available at the time and the spares to prevent you from worrying. I would definitely recommend this property and I would

Amazing stay. Great location and the lodge was even better than the online listing. Definitely recommend.

We had a fantastic stay at the foxes Den. This is our second visit after enjoying our first stay so much. We will definitely be back. Keep doing what you are doing as you have an amazing holiday destination..

Georgia

Incredible location and scenery, great stay and very modern. Only downside for us was cleanliness, completely appreciate that bedsbedding was clean and fresh towels provided but unfortunately the rest of the place could do with a good clean, huge amount of dead bugs inaround, taps had thick green mouldlimescale and unfortunately this was the same for the kettle and coffee machine. Luckily was pans and pots so we boiled water on the hob for a hot drink. Hoover and a mop is also provided in the property so I managed to have a good clean around before my toddler played and relaxed, people should absolutely respect the owners request of taking throws if they would like pets to cuddle as the sete was mud stained and did have dog hair all over. Again hoovered over this wasnt an issue but people should have respect for owners wishes.

Denise

We had a wonderful stay at foxs Den. What I would say is that the main bedroom with such a great view, which was the deciding factor for us choosing the lodge was lacking a little in storage space I.e bedside cabinets and any draws for small items, yes we could have used the 2 nd room downstairs but we wanted to use the feature room, watching the sun rise in the morning through the amazing large window was spectacular. The lodge was very clean and well cared for, beautiful place and yes we would recommend it highly.

Our second visit to Foxes Den, this time to celebrate our Golden Wedding Anniversary,it's still as clean and tidy as ever,the bottle of Prosecco and the hamper was much appreciated. The added robes were a bonus after being in the hot tub. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Superb accommodation, finished to the highest standard. Every detail thought of , we couldnt have wished for more.

Absolutely gorgeous property! Our little one loved seeing the chickens every morning and doggies loved the run on the field. The views were amazing. Well definitely come back again!

Absolutely fantastic place. Exactly what I needed. The accommodation was stunning. I enjoyed it that much, I've booked to go again in April for 3 nights.

Louise

We had a lovely stay and was very impressed with the lodge, we loved all the little extras that you got on arrival and also loved the idea of the logs and the eggs which were very nice in the hut on site which we made use of.

We had the most wonderful short break at Foxes Den. The property is beautifully presented with thoughtful touches throughout and is located perfectly for exploring North Yorkshire. The owners have put so much thought into the property and the set up of The Hideout. Wed highly recommend Foxes Den to others and hope to return ourselves soon.

Joanne

Excellent stay at The Hideout Foxes Den The lodge has everything you need for a relaxing stress free break. We will definitely return

Fantastic lodge. Very well equipped and very modern. Love all the extra touches, hamper, champagne, jigsaws and games. Such a wonderful setting and very peaceful. Would definitely return.

Patrick
