Had a fantastic stay, everything was super clean, even the bedding and towels smelt lovely and fresh. The bed was very comfortable and slept the whole night, was lovely to get away from everyday hustle and bustle and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature with the added bonus of a hot tub just outside the door, they seem to have gone that little extra mile from the twinkling lights outside round the trees to the comfort of home inside, lovely couple and very friendly, breakfast was brought to our door in the morning and everything was delicious! I’d definitely recommend to anyone and definitely be back, I also want to try out there fantastic looking tea room and the delicious home made cakes :-)

Company info

We are a husband and wife team who came across The Foxes Den by chance (formerly called The Case is Altered). The previous owners were here for 35 years, so they wanted the new owners to love the place as much as they did. From our first visit, as we drove through the gates, we couldn't believe the little gem behind. Set in stunning surroundings with mature trees and plants and farmland views, we knew immediately we had to have this place and could see the potential it offered. Having been in the hospitality industry for over 25 years, hosting and attending to our customers needs is paramount to make sure every stay is a relaxing and enjoyable one. Service is so important to us and we endeavour to make each guest feel special to ensure their visit is a relaxed, happy and memorable one.
