Reviews

“We rented the flat section at Foxy House. I found the accommodation very pleasing, and comfortable and would love to be able to return. Eva, our hostess, was friendly, kind and helpful. The bedroom is spacious and has a very comfortable bed. The bathroom seemed to have been freshly renovated, while still keeping the authentic look and feel of the rest of the flat. The veranda just outside the bedroom is only one of the lovely spots to be found to relax with a cup of coffee. A beautiful garden provides further opportunities for moments of quiet enjoyment in this lovely area.”  Sandra

“We had a magical time in Eva's home - the right mix of rumpled and luxurious that makes one wonderfully content.”  Jemma

“Quaint, comfortable with excellent hospitality, thanks for hosting us and making us feel welcome.”  Kris

“Fairytale house! Foxy House has the most incredible garden with plants of all kinds, vegetables and a beautiful pond. This place took my breath away. Fantastic place to rest and rejuvenate!”  Sanja

“I had the room stay since I was travelling solo. Eva's house is welcoming and the garden is superb. Her two dogs are very well behaved and they contributed to my lovely stay. This is the perfect stay if you want to feel "off the grid" but have the creature comforts such as Wi-Fi, a warm shower and a gas stove. Can't wait to visit again! Very safe and I ran two lovely routes which Eva recommended.”  Marisa
