The lodge itself exceeded all expectations and a few personal touches including a doggy bag, some bubbly, biscuits and a money off voucher for the local restaurant were greatly appreciated. It is quiet and enclosed with beautiful views. It was perfect for our dog who had a fantastic time and enjoyed lots of lovely walks around the area. The hot tub was easy enough to use and the host Steven contacted us in the morning of arrival to ask if we would like the hot tub ready for us. We loved it that much that we are already looking to go back in the heart of the summer. Thank you for a great stay at Foxyâs Den Steven.

On arrival Stephen met us and explained everything. The lodge was absolutely perfect, really clean and comfy and the little treats and bottles of bubbly were really appreciated. Hot tub really simple to operate and we had a lovely relaxing time. Plenty to see and do in the local area which added to the experience. Already recommended the property to family and friends.
