Discover why this cottage is the one for your party or family reunion...

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.

This semi-detached barn conversion retains its agricultural heritage through the building materials and structure.

Pet Friendly

Check the specific pet policy with the owner before booking with dogs. The hamlet location and countryside setting would suit pets well. Fields and moorland sit within walking distance. Footpaths lead directly from the property into the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The rural position means plenty of outdoor space for exercising dogs.
