Lovely property out of the way, had everything we needed, and nice welcoming brownies, milk, bread and butter. Quiet, peaceful.location with short drive to small.supermarket. York drive 30 mins away, and also on way there is a park and ride, tonsave on parking in York.
A fabulous little cottage with everything by you’d need. Sue, the owner, left cupcakes and essentials which was very lovely and thoughtful. Everything was clean and well presented. The children didn’t want to leave!!

First of all A big thank you to Sue, she is a great host, very helpful and friendly. The Fox Cottage was very cosy - very peaceful and relaxing with everything we needed, including a very nice welcome basket with home made brownies which we enjoyed when we arrived after a very long drive.
The Fox Cottage is spacious, very well equipped and well situated not far from York and the North York Moors. The appliances in the house are modern and work very well. We found the beds comfortable, clean and well maintained. The cottage itself was very easy to access with a nice private accessible drive leading to it, off of the main road.
The only minor downside was that the Wi-Fi did not reach all areas of the property, and there was no phone signal, but that was not a priority during our stay.
Overall, it was a very pleasant experience with great service from the host. I would highly recommend it and would definitely stay again!
We had a fantastic time in Sues converted barn. Sue had arranged a perfect welcome with brownies and a starter package with toast, jam and marmelade, milk and butter.
The barn is equipped with all that is needed, and the location provides calm and relaxation.
Sue is very supportive and friendly and is always available for recommendations.
This was our first holiday in Yorkshire, and thanks to the cosy barn, Sue, and the vèry friendly people in Yorkshire, we will gladly come back.
Our whole family, including both of our dogs, definitely and fully recommend this holiday home, thanjs for a great time, Sue!
Spotlessly clean and well equipped. We were a party of 6 and certainly had enough space. Cottage is well situated and very quiet. There is a Woodland off lead dog area about ten minutes away which is worth visiting if you have a dog.
We enjoyed our two nights stay at fox cottage as a family of four.The description was accurate.The property was clean and well equipped in everything we needed.Last but not least the “welcome” brownies were very tasty.Thank you for lovely stay, would definitely recommend to a friend.
We stayed for a weekend while we were attending a wedding nearby. We arrived late so didn't actually meet Sue but communication was good and everything perfect in the cottage.
Lovely place everything you needed and more. Stayed two nights to go to my grandaugher’s wedding. Some nice unexpected touches bread butter jam tea coffee milk and excellent home made brownies. Car needed, no pubs or restaurants within walking distance. Thanks for a lovely stay.
Very cute barn conversion , everything you could need in a place. Kitchen well stocked with pans, Crockery, utensil, foil etc. Also had tea, coffee, herbs etc. Lovely touches with the bread, crisps and homemade buns.
Would be great if there was a loo upstairs and the bed was so hard for me but I guess that’s personal taste.
Easy to follow directions and simple to get into York. Would definitely recommend.
This is our second time staying with Sue. We have now stayed at both cottages and both are equally lovely. Very clean and tidy and a feeling of home away from home. Very easy to book and check in. Sue is a top notch host who is very friendly and willing to help us with any questions we had. Overall, our second stay was as delightful as our first stay 5 years ago. Thank you!
Lovely weekend staying in Fox Cottage. Sue was fantastic and everything in the cottage was clean and beautifully presented. The freshly baked brownies on arrival were a lovely touch too.
Would definitely recommend.
Lovely, clean cottage which was convenient for day trips to York and Scarborough. Sue provided essentials such as milk, butter, bread as well as yummy brownies, an unexpected treat! Kitchen had everything we could need. We had plenty of room for our family of five and easy access to nearby towns for groceries and restaurants. Would definitely stay again!
Stayed at Fox Cottage for 2 nights with my partner and her immediate family for her 30th birthday. Sue was the perfect host before and on arrival. She kindly put our celebration banners up ready for our arrival and arranged the home baked cookies along with our welcome basket, which were delicious!
The cottage was lovely, spacious and immaculately clean with all the appliances, crockery etc needed for a home from home stay. The availability of the DVD player, wii and games trunk outside in the court yard area were perfect additions that kept the children happy and occupied during our stay.
Overall excellent accommodation that made the perfect family break away, all family members would love to stay again!
Thanks Sue x
We had a lovely time. The cottage was perfect with all the home comforts. On arrival there was a lovely little hamper to get us going including some beautiful cupcakes. It was very comfortable and perfect with great outdoor space, including a some sports equipment including swing ball that our kids loved. The local town of Pocklington was lovely with everything in it along with a lovely market on a Wednesday, and you can walk there along the canal though it is quite a walk. It was also close to York yet the coast wasn't far off either.
Lovely little dog friendly cottage "Home from home" 20 mins drive from York. Had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Welcome hamper and everyday essentials very much appreciated. Nearby Pocklington lovely village. Ordered cookies prior to departure.. thankyou Sue and Kayley...delicious.
Would definately return.
This is a very well equipped and comfortable property. It is within easy access of York and Hull. Sue made us feel very welcome. We would recommend this cottage as a base for visiting the area.
