The house was lovely the farmer was friendly and there was nothing we could have ... The house was lovely the farmer was friendly and there was nothing we could have needed that was not at the house, I was a little sad the hot tub was not available on reading further I saw it was only available from April to October, sadly I had already booked This did NOT impact our stay as the beach is right there and it was December Feedback would be perhaps stare at the top of add not available at those times great stay and would stay again it was amazing and spotless and dog friendly and plenty of the space
Lovely place set in a beautiful location. Sandra and Jon were always available to meet our needs.amazing beaches within walking distance. Very close to Lost Gardens of Heligan where we had a wonderful time.
It was a lovely stay, and we were made to feel very welcome thanks!
Excellent spacious and clean accommodation with everything we needed for a wonderful weeks holiday in Cornwall. Each bedroom has its own ensuite and lovely comfortable bed with clean fresh quilt and pillows. The kitchen was nice and big in an open plan sitting area with every facility needed for our family plus the dog. The surrounding area was in a lovely countryside farm setting with a lovely view of the sea in a nearby field. There are 3 nearby wonderful and quiet sandy beaches within 15 minutes walk, all great for swimming, fishing or just relaxing in the sun. Just a short drive away are lots of coves, villages and beaches, plus the lost gardens of heligan. We had a great stay here and the owners were very welcoming and friendly. We will definitely be aiming to come back here again when we next visit Cornwall on holiday.

Please see what I put in the guest book
The cottage Is beautiful and we had a lovely time
We thoroughly enjoyed the cottage. Sandra our host was very friendly and helpful. Especially when there was a late evening power cut!! A delightful cottage in a great location for walking our two dogs. No need to go very far to visit some stunning places, although we did.
Great property in a really lovely area of Cornwall, with some superb beaches and walks for dogs. Cottage was really comfortable, including the beds, and a lovely welcome pack. Sandra was extremely helpful in providing any information we needed. Recommend The Crown pub for good food, and not very far to drive to.
We really enjoyed our time in Foxes Den. The cottage is very cosy, with all facilities provided. We appreciated the gifts biscuits, delicious fudges, coffee and even treats for the dog
