For Families

Foxstones Cottage is designed as a couples' retreat rather than family accommodation with just one bedroom sleeping two. The rural hamlet setting offers outdoor space for exploring.

Footpaths lead directly from the property into the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The rural position means plenty of outdoor space for exercising dogs.
