“The property was exactly as advertised and it was clean, comfortable, relaxing and well maintained.”

Very well thought through and it’s clear to see that the owners think outside of the box and try to make sure that you have all you will need available at the time and the spares to prevent you from worrying. I would definitely recommend this property and I would

Laura August 2024

“We have stayed in lots of lodges around North Yorkshire and this is by far the best.”

This was our second visit and we will be returning soon. The lodge is very well maintained, the facilities are excellent, there is nothing the owners havnt thought of. It's clear to see how much care and hard work goes into these lodges. The surroundings with the field for the dog to run in and the animals to see are a great touch. There's nothing like fresh eggs from the chickens you can feed for breakfast.

- Laura, August 2024

Georgia June 2024

“Incredible location and scenery, great stay and very modern.”

Only downside for us was cleanliness, completely appreciate that beds/bedding was clean and fresh towels provided but unfortunately the rest of the place could do with a good clean, huge amount of dead bugs in/around, taps had thick green mould/limescale and unfortunately this was the same for the kettle and coffee machine. Luckily was pans and pots so we boiled water on the hob for a hot drink. Hoover and a mop is also provided in the property so I managed to have a good clean around before my toddler played and relaxed, people should absolutely respect the owners request of taking throws if they would like pets to cuddle as the sete was mud stained and did have dog hair all over. Again hoovered over this wasn’t an issue but people should have respect for owners wishes.

- Georgia, June 2024

Hello Gosh I’m so incredibly sorry for your experience. I’m absolutely devastated that you had found the lodge in that condition. Typically I would have been on site to check all was perfect before your arrival, unfortunately we was away that week. The lodge was cleaned on Friday, the day before your check in, as we don’t usually have Saturday bookings. The dead bugs/ flys may have fallen during that time, as we have a high fly spray in the apex window to keep that area clean. I can only apologise. We do have hard water in the area, and I usually descale the kettles frequently. But I’ll that take feedback onboard and will replace appliances asap for brand new. Again im very sorry for your experience, although we open our lodges to pets, we usually strive to maintain them as if no pets had used the facilities in between guest stays. Thank you for your honest feedback, and I’ll be sure to take it all onboard right away. Nicole Property Owner
Denise June 2024

“We had a wonderful stay at fox’s Den.”

What I would say is that the main bedroom with such a great view, which was the deciding factor for us choosing the lodge was lacking a little in storage space I.e bedside cabinets and any draws for small items, yes we could have used the 2 nd room downstairs but we wanted to use the feature room, watching the sun rise in the morning through the amazing large window was spectacular. The lodge was very clean and well cared for, beautiful place and yes we would recommend it highly.

Sarah December 2023

“We had the most wonderful short break at Foxes Den.”

The property is beautifully presented with thoughtful touches throughout and is located perfectly for exploring North Yorkshire. The owners have put so much thought into the property and the set up of The Hideout. We’d highly recommend Foxes Den to others and hope to return ourselves soon.

“Wonderful lodges and brilliant location.”

Luxury is a word banded about a lot today but the Foxes Den definitely is. This is our second visit and we were glad to see the same little touches hadn't be forgotten. We would definitely recommend to anyone who likes a peaceful slice of luxury but maybe not to too many people we still want to be able to get booked in ourselves !!!!

Mandy June 2023

“What a beautiful place to stay, everything as described, lots of lovely touches and needed nothing more than what was there.”

Very clean and comfortable, Hot Tub was a welcome addition after long daily walks in the countryside. Lots of little leaflets and a super little book to pick walks from. Fresh Hens eggs were delicious for breakfast each morning, Nicole the owner is looking to get more to keep up with demand lol. The Dogs loved the little meadow above the lodges, perfect for a little stroll before going out for the day. Very secure as gated. really could not fault this place, the owners have thought of everything and were very accommodating when asking questions etc. we are definitely going back.

- Mandy, June 2023
Kay June 2023

“Absolutely beautiful lodge in amazing surroundings but in a great location to visit lots of places.”

The owners couldn’t have been nicer and we also got to meet their extended family. Fresh eggs from their chickens were amazing. Lodge very tastefully done with lots of attention to detail. Comfy beds and beautifully decorated and furnished. Hot tub was an extra treat.

- Kay, June 2023

Sally February 2023

“We had a fantastic time at this wonderful lodge.”

The owners have thought of everything you could need from a welcome hamper, Prosecco, milk and orange juice, bath robes, a wine cooler fridge and gorgeous toiletries to a bed, towel and bowl for furry friends. We loved watching the horses and chickens and eating their fresh eggs. The beds are extremely comfortable, the walk in shower is fabulous, the roll top bath just luxurious and the enormous hot-tub is the icing on the cake! Fabulous places to visit within half an hour - Thornton Le Dale and Pickering are local and lovely, Staithes, Whitby, Robin Hood’s Bay and Scarborough are approximately 35 minutes drive away. We had two lovely lunches at the Fox and Rabbit pub which is highly recommended as is this superb lodge.

- Sally, February 2023
Victoria February 2023

Stephen January 2023

“We stayed 4 nights in the Foxes Den, and from the moment we entered the lodge we were so impressed.”

The lodge is very spacious open plan. Has a kitchen with all you need. The main bedroom has a huge comfy bed then on the top floor there is another bedroom with unsuite and amazing views. It was so amazing to come to the lodge after walking all day in the North York National Park and relax in the hot tub and then light the wood burner and Chill watching TV. Nicole and Scott were always in communication making sure everything was alright. Also the touches of a bottle of bubbles once we arrived was really nice and also having fresh eggs for breakfast from the hens next to the lodge. The lodge is in good distance to all sight seeing places. I would recommend to anyone to stay in the Foxes Den and enjoy an amazing experience.

- Stephen, January 2023
Norman January 2023

This holiday was a dream come true. The lodge was beautiful, the area breathtaking. We had everything we needed for a truly luxury holiday, from the welcome goodies to the high quality accessories.

“We had an Outstanding time at the Hideaway.”

The accommodation was better then we expected and extremely clean. The lodges are extremely well equip and very comfortable. We had such a relaxing time, we didn't want to leave. There are some lovely pubs in the surrounding area and great dog walks. We only spoke to Nicole and scott by text but they were lovely and accommodating. A special mention to Scott (I think it was Scott) who pointed out my flat tire and provided a pump to help us get on our way. 5 star luxury and we will be back next year.

Emma July 2022

“Gorgeous place and it’s attention to detail is amazing !”

Everything you need is catered for! BBQ, indoor and outdoor sound system, all amenities in a beautiful place. Great for dogs with the forest walk just a few steps away with a field also to exercise your dog . Even has dog bed , treats , poo bags etc . The owners were lovely but not intrusive and left you to enjoy your holiday but we’re there and introduce themselves and asked if everything ok and if we need anything let them know , very nice personal touch . Flies were a problem in the lodge but then again we were there in the heatwave so not sure if that is normal and would hate to make that comment to put people off as the place is soo good and would highly recommend ! Hot tub is fab and local pub is literally next door. Would highly recommend going to the hide out and can’t wait to go back !

- Emma, July 2022

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such lovely feedback :) I apologies you experienced the pesky flies, they were particularly bad in the heatwave, we have tried multiple ways of stopping them hovering around the glass windows, we think we have cracked it with an automatic spray diffuser. We would love to welcome you back anytime :) Thank you Scott & Nicole Property Owner

The property

Resting in the rural village of Allerston in North Yorkshire, is this remarkable, detached holiday home, Foxes Den.

Benefitting from a bubbling hot tub and near the North York Moors National Park, this two-bedroom lodge is ideal for a group of four.

Upon arrival, be greeted by off-road parking and make your way inside through the French doors to unveil the open-plan living space.

Featuring vaulted ceilings and a woodburning stove, you can look forward to curling up on the sofa with a Smart TV to keep you entertained.

Stepping over to the kitchen, the designated chef will be thrilled with the oven and hob to rustle up tasty dishes and when dinner is served, dine together at the table, and uncork a bottle of fizz.

When the weather is warm, venture outside and unwind on the outdoor furniture or climb into your swimming attire for a soothing soak in the hot tub.

As the evening draws to a close, retreat inside and climb up the wooden staircase to the mezzanine bedroom with a king-size bed or choose the king-size on the ground-floor.

Begin your day with a moment of relaxation in the bathroom with a bubble bath in the freestanding tub or rinse off in the spacious walk-in shower to revive.

If you fancy a break from the kitchen, a short stroll will lead you to The Cayley Arms for a home-cooked meal or venture to the village of Thornton Dale for a crisp pint at a Georgian inn.

Jump in the car to visit the vibrant market town of Pickering, here you can browse independent shops for a souvenir, tour the ancient castle or if that's not for you head outside of Pickering for a scream at Flamingo Land Resort!

Avid walkers can take advantage of the close proximity of the North York Moors National Park to soak in the dramatic landscape on a hike or head to the coastal town of Scarborough, lined with arcades and traditional fish and chip shops.

For a rural retreat in a stylish setting, choose Foxes Den
