We had a fantastic weekend stay at Foxtales. The cottage is so homely and so much to see. The owners were so accommodating of our daughter with lots of toys to play with and lovely touches. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas with lots of amazing details. Owners were very helpful and readily available if needed. Would love to visit again!

We had a wonderful 3 day stay. The cottage was beautifully decorated for Christmas. Lots of lovey quirky bits around the place. Well equipped and plenty of room for our dogs. So comfy, felt at home. Loved watching the cattle and sheep auction. Ate from the fish n chip van. Visited lots of places, Settle, Harrogate, Kirkby Lonsdale and the Bronte village. Wendy is such a lovely lady, welcomed us and nothing was too much trouble. Hope to be back in the spring! Thanks Wendy for everything, loved the goodies. Highly recommend.

Just a gorgeous and homely cottage - fabulous host and local amenities are great. Yes it is on a main road but it genuinely did not impact on us at all - you can park directly outside of the property. We will be back! x
