This is an incredible property as advertised on the site Clean, filled with light and so well equipped, a real home from home Amazing hot tub Absolutely stunning surroundings Friendly sheep and chickens Great hosts Loved it and will return soon
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

If you want a relaxing holiday,this is the place. We loved it that much,that we have booked for next year. This is definitely the best holiday home we have stayed in.
Darren
Wonderful lodges and brilliant location. Luxury is a word banded about a lot today but the Foxes Den definitely is. This is our second visit and we were glad to see the same little touches hadn't be forgotten. We would definitely recommend to anyone who likes a peaceful slice of luxury but maybe not to too many people we still want to be able to get booked in ourselves !!!!
Fantastic property in a great location
What a beautiful place to stay, everything as described, lots of lovely touches and needed nothing more than what was there. Very clean and comfortable, Hot Tub was a welcome addition after long daily walks in the countryside. Lots of little leaflets and a super little book to pick walks from. Fresh Hens eggs were delicious for breakfast each morning, Nicole the owner is looking to get more to keep up with demand lol. The Dogs loved the little meadow above the lodges, perfect for a little stroll before going out for the day. Very secure as gated. really could not fault this place, the owners have thought of everything and were very accommodating when asking questions etc. we are definitely going back.
Absolutely beautiful lodge in amazing surroundings but in a great location to visit lots of places. The owners couldnt have been nicer and we also got to meet their extended family. Fresh eggs from their chickens were amazing. Lodge very tastefully done with lots of attention to detail. Comfy beds and beautifully decorated and furnished. Hot tub was an extra treat.
We all had a really great time at Foxes Den and we'd love to go back again in the future. It had everything we could ask for and was a perfect relaxing base at the end of each day
Muriel
Foxes Den exceeded our expectations in every way. Everything you could need was provided, the lodge was very comfortable and beautifully furnished. The bottle of bubbles chilling in the wine cooler was a lovely bonus! Thank you Nicole and Scott for a lovely week
Michael
Perfect in every way. Everything you need and more
We had a fantastic time at this wonderful lodge. The owners have thought of everything you could need from a welcome hamper, Prosecco, milk and orange juice, bath robes, a wine cooler fridge and gorgeous toiletries to a bed, towel and bowl for furry friends. We loved watching the horses and chickens and eating their fresh eggs. The beds are extremely comfortable, the walk in shower is fabulous, the roll top bath just luxurious and the enormous hottub is the icing on the cake! Fabulous places to visit within half an hour Thornton Le Dale and Pickering are local and lovely, Staithes, Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay and Scarborough are approximately 35 minutes drive away. We had two lovely lunches at the Fox and Rabbit pub which is highly recommended as is this superb lodge.
Victoria
Fantastic holiday home, beautiful and comfortable! Everything we needed was there, from the porchway for shoes and coats to scissors and matches! We all loved it, would go back and fully recommend to anyone! Fab location too
Stephen
We stayed 4 nights in the Foxes Den, and from the moment we entered the lodge we were so impressed. The lodge is very spacious open plan. Has a kitchen with all you need. The main bedroom has a huge comfy bed then on the top floor there is another bedroom with unsuite and amazing views. It was so amazing to come to the lodge after walking all day in the North York National Park and relax in the hot tub and then light the wood burner and Chill watching TV. Nicole and Scott were always in communication making sure everything was alright. Also the touches of a bottle of bubbles once we arrived was really nice and also having fresh eggs for breakfast from the hens next to the lodge. The lodge is in good distance to all sight seeing places. I would recommend to anyone to stay in the Foxes Den and enjoy an amazing experience.
Norman

Andrew
EXCELLENT PLACE TO GO THANKS AGAIN ANDREW.
We couldnt have asked for more! This holiday was a dream come true. The lodge was beautiful, the area breathtaking. We had everything we needed for a truly luxury holiday, from the welcome goodies to the high quality accessories. The lodge was warm and inviting. The log fire was so cosy and the hot tub was the icing on the cake. We will certainly be heading back in the new year! Thank you for making us feel so welcome.
Michael
Beautiful Lodge situated in a small village with easy access to the Moors and Coastal towns. The Hot Tub was great and relaxing after a busy day touring. The Cleanliness and Facilities were spot on and the little touches were appreciated. The field at the back was great to exercise our dog. Would definitely recommend to family and friends.
Foxes Den is a wonderful place to stay, beautiful furnishings and extremely clean! Super kingsize bed is sooo comfortable, also a great bath and shower. The welcome pack is a lovely touch and the bottle of bubbly was great in the fabulous hot tub. We also had fresh eggs for breakfast. Nicole and Scott should be very proud of the homes that they have created, we will definitely be returning!
Thomas
We had an Outstanding time at the Hideaway. The accommodation was better then we expected and extremely clean. The lodges are extremely well equip and very comfortable. We had such a relaxing time, we didn't want to leave. There are some lovely pubs in the surrounding area and great dog walks. We only spoke to Nicole and scott by text but they were lovely and accommodating. A special mention to Scott I think it was Scott who pointed out my flat tire and provided a pump to help us get on our way. 5 star luxury and we will be back next year.
Absolutely fantastic accommodation. We love what the owners have created and will definitely be back. 5 stars plus !
Darren
Brilliant lodge. We had a great time. Everything high quality, great hot tub, the bed was very comfortable. The extras put in by the hosts were really nice, milk, fresh orange, eggs, bottle of bubbly all added to make this a special place. The biggest disappointment was that we had to leave!! We will be booking again if you could leave us a space!!
