Foxes View Reviews

This property specifically was badly in need of renovation internally and externally, the bedroom wall is collapsing in, there are damaged and noisy flooring . large gaps have opened between internal and outer walls. the brick work was damaged and falling off, lampshades looked stained and even the door matt was torn. other properties looked in better condition There is no storage for clothing at all and no comfy seating for relaxing, just a bench style seating area and stools. the noisy drunken neighbours playing loud music just added to our decision to leave after 2 days of our 7 day holiday that being said the staff were friendly, the views are stunning, we loved the goats wondering around and the crow that wakes you up at 5 every morning by banging loudly on the window probably good for quirky weekend away, but I wouldn't recommend for long family holidays.
Malvika
The property was really good with the best view. We really enjoyed the hot tub and the cute hobbit cottage. It had everything we required, really appreciate the little details like providing coffee, milk, waffles, salt. Just small feedback the cleaning products smell was very strong the moment you enter, also would be better if you can give long handle dustpan. Would love to come again.
Vanessa
Cute holiday home with all the amenities we needed. We made the most of using the hot tub to enjoy the stunning views watching red kites fly by. Would recommend a visit to Devils Bridge, and if you have the time its just an extra 30 miles from there to the sea.
Patrick
We had a great time staying in Foxes View. From a family point of view a clothes horse or washing line of some sort would be very handy especially to hang wet clothes on after the hot tub. Also, a brush to be able to sweep the grass from the living area as we had our 4yearold son with us who was in and out all the time. They are the only minor adjustment's we'd make. We would definitely rebook to come again and hopefully we will. Thank you.
Amazing stay! Absolutely gorgeous setting. Would definitely book again! Everything was so clean and homely, it was such a nice touch that we were able to book a birthday package with you for our celebration weekend there.. the views were unreal! Thank you so much, would definitely recommend that people come here for a relaxing get away!
