Just returned from a 4 night stay at Fox Cottage. The views are fantastic and it is so peaceful and relaxing in the lovely countryside. The Sauna and hot tub are very welcome once you have been out walking or sightseeing. The lodge has everything you need and is clean and well kept. All the information you need for the appliances etc is emailed to Read moreyou on the morning of your arrival so there is nothing to worry about. We have just booked again for next year as it seems well booked for many months ahead. Hide

This is a superbly peaceful, quiet cottage with lovely views, and a great interior. Our enjoyment was further enhanced by occasional appearances of wildlife around the cottage (deer, hares, rabbits)

Fox Cottage is set in a peaceful and beautiful location yet within short car journey to a lovely village pub and shops in Settle. It's simple structure blends well into the hillside and the open plan interior is both stylish and comfortable. Light streams in through the large patio windows and the views are amazing. A curious hare came up on the paRead moretio to gaze in at us on the first evening.The kitchen area was fully equipped with good quality appliances, tools, spices, washing machine and dishwasher tablets etc. The second bedroom was able to be made up into a twin bedded room. We didn't use the outside gas B B Q, but it looked very impressive. Plenty of outdoor seating to relax on. Toweling robes were provided for the hot tub and sauna, both of which were amazing. An outside dog shower and towel was by the front door.. The weather was great but even had not been, there are board games, books, television, wifi etc. and Fox Cottage itself helped to make our holiday so special, we had a lovely time. Hide
