Large lounge/diner with reclining chairs, large TV and log burner. Spacious bedrooms with comfy beds. Large fluffy bath towels and separate hot tuRead moreb towels. Loved looking at the the Alpacas from the hot tub. Nice enclosed grassed garden for the dog. The whole house was spotlessly clean! About 10 minutes from shops in Liskeard and 30 minutes from nearest beaches. Will definitely stay again. Hide

Fox den cottage was a amazing cottage to stay, i would highly recommend it to anyone. The owners are so friendly and it was lovely when you open the blinds to see the alpacas in the garden. Everything was so homely and the cornish afternoon tea was a lovely surprise when we arrived.

This is a fabulous holiday, meeting the needs of a family or group if friends. My mum and I felt it more than covered our needs with comfy beds, walk in shower and toilet on ground floor, great hot tub and the hosts close by are so helpful if you need anything.

Great cottage, with a brilliant garden for your dog. Had everything you needed inside, and about 15 minute walk to local pub. Just be careful walking back from the pub in the dark, as no pavement half way and very narrow road, so a torch is a must. The cottage is quite isolated, so plenty of walking with great views. Or can drive to the dog beachesRead more approximately 50 min drive over to on the north cost. And Inks smokehouse is a must only 10 minute drive from cottage. Hide

Such a beautiful property which was a "home from home". Well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed and although we only used the hot tub once it was lovely to relax in with a glass of wine. It was lovely to see the alpacas every morning. Anyone staying at the Fox's Den will not be disappointed we definitely recommend.
