Hello All. Fox Dog and I have been spending a lot of time together recently, be it going out on cycling adventures along our quiet roads and up into the forest to the lake and also just sat in the tree swing chatting about the views, and our plans for Foxhall Farm.
We have been very lucky to be fully booked this summer, predominantly with people having family gatherings to celebrate family birthdays. However we still have quite a lot of spaces for Autumn. Mid September to December.
The major expenses with Foxhall Farm is the cleaning the house between guests, even though we are lucky that everyone leaves it clean and tidy, it still takes 3 of us a very good long day to bring it up to the perfect standard we like to present our guests with. Also letting agents obviously take a large percentage of all bookings, and rightly so. (And fox dog eats more meat than Elvis)
So the longer our guests stay, the better and direct bookings also good.
So Fox Dog and I have decided that new direct bookings for September 2024 to March 2025, we can offer at £1750 for a full week, which is nearly 40% saving to the prices you will see online. Simply message or ring 07526988266 or [email protected] and we can reserve for you.
This winter just gone, we invested in a huge amount of new fencing which now means we can take horses and ponies as well. The house has 6 King size beds, so can sleep up to 12 people. We have parking and fields to take in 12 horses and ponies as well. No stables as of yet, but some of the nicest hacks on the planet.
If you like a spot of tennis, we are members of the local tennis club, and can arrange you a court for free as frequently as you like during your stay.
If you require to work from home, we have super powerful wifi and lots of quiet space with plenty of views.
Keen cyclists, just behind us, is Boltby Forest where they hold the famous Boltby Bash downhill race. And the local roads, despite being a little hilly, are very picturesque. We have a jet wash and air line at the Farm to clean your bikes too.
There is a gorgeous lake called lake Gormire that is good for wild swimming if you don’t mind a bit of a chill.
I always leave a couple of metal detectors and a spade in the house. We are lucky to own 53 acres of land here and the other day found a gold thing, god knows what it is, see photo below. We don’t have time to do more detecting, but it’s soo exciting!
On an evening we have a log burning stove, a big tv, games table, Wii, karaoke machine, disco lights, and a hot tub that’s always kept at a pleasant 40 degrees.
The kitchen is brilliant for entertaining, dining table seats 12 comfortably. There are 4 ovens, and every gadget you could need for cooking beautiful home cooked meals.
One of our favourite things to do though is walk out to a local restaurant, have a nice meal and a few drinks, then get a lift home (I am happy to pick our guests up in my 7 seater XC90) even if it means doing a couple of runs.
We are considering doing packages including catering too, so please message for details on that front as well.
In 2025 we are getting a wedding license so a lovely couple who have decided to have a quiet family wedding can officially get married here, so if you know anyone that suits, please do share with them. We have local florist, cake and decor contacts locally and can help plan.
So, please do get in touch, it works out a mere £20 per person per night based on 12 sharing, and even for us tight Yorkshire folks, that’s a bargain.
We can still do shorter breaks, and look into any crazy requirements so please drop us a line!!
Have a great day.
