Company info

We are a husband and wife team who came across The Foxes Den by chance (formerly called The Case is Altered). The previous owners were here for 35 years, so they wanted the new owners to love the place as much as they did. From our first visit, as we drove through the gates, we couldn't believe the little gem behind. Set in stunning surroundings with mature trees and plants and farmland views, we knew immediately we had to have this place and could see the potential it offered. Having been in the hospitality industry for over 25 years, hosting and attending to our customers needs is paramount to make sure every stay is a relaxing and enjoyable one. Service is so important to us and we endeavour to make each guest feel special to ensure their visit is a relaxed, happy and memorable one.
