Lovely little place but without an outside space (and near a very busy main road) I wouldn’t recommend it for young children. As a couple it met our needs perfectly and the welcome pack was lovely and much appreciated. The pub close by is closed but there is a lovely deli/cafe across the road and a restaurant in a nearby mobile home park which is good

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!
