We stayed here for 3 nights for our anniversary and I must say the cottage is beautiful! Has everything you need, clean and tidy. We had cake left out for us on arrival with a jug of milk for a cuppa! Adrian was most helpful with all of our needs and I cant thank him enough! our puppy stayed with us too which was lovely! Will be booking again in the summer!

Lovely dog friendly cottages in a great location for exploring the surrounding area. Upon arrival we were met by Adrian the host, who was very helpful. The cottage was very clean, beautifully presented and had everything we needed. The welcome cake and milk was a nice touch, thank you. Plus a pub next door which serves great food (reserve a table as it is very popular). We had a great time with our dog and will definitely be booking again. Thank you Adrian for a great break.

Although weather still wintry this beautiful part of Yorkshire never fails to work its magic .

Adrian is just the most perfect host who prides himself on providing the most comfortable well equipped home from home . This together with a genuine desire to help guests have a perfect holiday is what makes this such a special place .

So many beautiful places to visit all within an easy drive , pub next door that provides a warm welcome and excellent food .

What more could you ask for ? . Returning in 8 weeks , can’t wait .

After having to delay all year taking a holiday due to health issues, we at last booked 10 days in our caravan at the Fox & Rabbit Holiday Cottages Touring Caravan Park. The owner, Adrian proved to be friendly and willing to give us the best possible holiday , enjoying drinks and good conversation with him some evenings to the point that we felt part of the family.. From the site we enjoyed exploring the North York Moors, Pickering, Scarbourough,, Filey and the beautiful village of Thornton-le-Dale (home of the “Bangers and Cash” TV Programme). The Fox and Rabbit Inn (no connection) next door served excellent meals and , to my delight, Non-alcoholic beer on draft! The cottages courtyard has an all-over gravelled surface providing perfectly level caravan pitches with electricity and water at each pitch. Just what we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay.

Adrian is the best host! You can see his love for the properties and the Yorkshire area. Lovely friendly guy with lots of information about walks and surrounding places to visit!

Brought our pup with us and she loved it too, specially how close Dolby forest is for walks! Everything is a close drive but also your rural!

Me and my fiance spent two nights at the cottage and it was a wonderful weekend. The living room was snug with the electric fireplace, we enjoyed breakfast in the morning at the dining table which was already fully laid out with amenities. The kitchen was very clean and had everything we needed to cook a nice dinner. Best nights sleep we’ve had in a long time! Our host Adrian was easy to contact about any questions we had and made sure we had a very pleasant stay, I will definitely be recommending the cottage to friends and family! Thanks Adrian!

This has been our first visit to Fox Cub Cottage, and we have had a really lovely week. The cottage is immaculate, and beautifully furnished and decorated, has everything you need and the beds are really comfortable. The cottage has an enclosed private front garden which was great for keeping our dog safe when opening the front door. The location is quiet and peaceful and well placed for exploring the area, with a great pub next door serving great food. Adrian, the owner, was there to greet us, a great guy, nothing too much trouble and very congenial and informative. Lovely touch with fresh milk in the fridge and a chocolate cake to greet us. We would 100% recommend this to anyone and we will certainly be back.

Our two night stay in the motorhome began with a warm welcome from Adrian

the owner, who directed us to our pitch on the campsite. His maintenance of the secluded area and attention to detail makes this CL site special: including your own amenities at each pitch, hard standing and a circular picnic table in the centre. Ideally situated next to a fabulous pub and with easy access to plenty of walking opportunities in the nearby Dalby Forest and Moors, this is a perfect site and definitely worth a stay.

Last minute booking over the Bank Holiday weekend, I had my eye on the location for a while and was not disappointed, arrived Saturday with my good lady and dog and was met by Adrian the owner. Great guy nothing was too much for him and was keen to help with information on the area.

The site itself is in a gravelled courtyard setting with no toilet facilities but all other necessary, fresh water, waste disposal black and grey water disposal and EHU.

The site is secluded and very quiet with the Fox and Rabbit pub adjacent. The pub itself very welcoming, dog freindly, with a good selection of ales and really good food.

All in all an excellent choice and will definitely be back.

To have the opportunity to be co located to other family members in the cottages is truly a bonus. The surrounding area and proximity of an outstanding pub only further enhance this superb venue.

Special mention and sincere thanks to Adrian Hamilton the owner, if there is a more obliging host anywhere I’d be amazed. Adrian is a credit to the hospitality industry, sadly not easy to find these days.

Spent a week in Sleepy Fox and had a perfect week (good weather helps). The cottage is in an ideal location close to the market town of Pickering which can cater for all ur needs food wise and has a cute castle as well., the coast is also an easy drive for Whitby and Scarborough. The moors and it’s stunning views and walks are close to hand as well. The cottage was clean cozy and very comfortable and everything was provided to ensure an enjoyable stay (lovely sponge cake on arrival 😀) my wife met Adrian (I was next door in the pub 🍺) and mentioned a small issue which was resolved in minutes and nothing seemed to much trouble and Adrain was always on hand if needs be. The pub next door has gorgeous views on a sunny evening and serves excellent food but u need to book it was full every evening and we saw many people turned away, very popular. All in all a lovely week away and I can highly recommend Sleepy Fox.

We actually tried to get on the Fox and Rabbit pub site but we’re told they were full, and they directed us next door to Adrian. Adrian is a lovely passionate host very helpful and just wants you to enjoy your stay. He has built a superb little CL site all on gravel and only for 3 camper vans. It is the only site that will take only motor homes or campervans so perfect for staying in that spot. It has electric hook up and water at each pitch and is perfect for cycling or visiting Pickering, Thorton le Dale or Whitby. It is £30 a night so will not suit all budgets as no toilets or showers but we loved the privacy

I have to say that if you’re looking for a genuinely warm and friendly welcome then this is the place to go!

Adrian takes the time to get to know you and his attention to detail is spot on.

We arrived at the cottage on Saturday afternoon to a lovely welcome cake and there was milk in the fridge for a much needed cuppa.

The cottage is very comfortable and homely with everything you’d need for a break away. The main room is open plan and is made up of a seating area with the comfiest sofa (easy to fall asleep on 😁) and chair, electric fire and large TV. There’s a kitchen area with cooker, fridge, microwave and the all important kettle (!), a dinner table and chairs, so if you’re in the mood to cook, you’re all set.

The bedroom is spacious with a double bed, again, very comfy and superior quality bedding. There’s a wardrobe, drawers and bedside cabinets so no need to live out of your suitcase and there’s a smaller TV in the bedroom to avoid any fights over watch to watch 😄

The bathroom is offset from the bedroom with a nice big bath and a separate walk in shower although we fought over the shower as it was so much better than ours at home! 🤣

The best thing according to our fur babies was the door in the bedroom that opens onto a shared enclosed courtyard. We kept the door open whenever we were in the cottage so they could come and go as they pleased which is a novelty as they can’t do that at home. It was a chore to try and get them both back in at the end of the day!

We’ve had a really lovely time once again and will most definitely be returning even if that’s just for Adrian’s friendly hospitality and a decent nap on that sofa! 😁

Perfect location for a visit to Yorkshire Dales. The pitches sit to the rear of the Cottages in a Quiet Gravelled area and there is a country pub next door serving lovely food.

Will definitely use this site again when we visit this area

We stayed in Fox Cub Cottage for a couple or nights (wished we could have stayed longer!!!). From the moment we arrived we were absolutely delighted. Adrian was waiting to welcome us and gave us very useful information. The cottage was perfect and so tastefully decorated. The perfect get away for peace and quiet in the most idyllic surroundings. Would highly recommend you would not be disappointed. Adrian best host and whilst we were only there a couple of nights felt we had known him for ages by the time we left. He deserves continued success.

We stayed in the Sleepy Fox Cottage. It is an absolutely brilliant place to stay, scrupulously clean, great furnishings and is a cottage in which we could happily live permanently. We will definately be returning here, as it is a perfect place from which to explore the North Yorkshire area.

Thank you Adrian for your hospitality and for providing such an enjoyable place to stay.

We had a great week in our cottage. The cottage was very clean and tidy and had all that we needed for our stay. Adrian was a great host and we knew he was on hand if needed. The cake on arrival was a lovely touch and appreciated (and soon eaten!). The cottages are in a great location with beautiful walks on the doorstep, with a welcoming pub next door for evening meals (booking in advance is advised). Well situated for both the coast and the moors. We can’t wait to book our next break away.

We stayed here with our dog in little fox cottage and had a great time. I was initially sceptical about being a bit far out of Pickering but in reality the location was ideal. There is a path directly to Dalby Forest and a walk there can easily use up a whole day.

The pub next door was dog (and people) friendly with great food and Pickering is only a few mins away by car.

The cottage was spotless and well equipped with everything needed for that home away from home feel. Adrian was as friendly and welcoming as the other reviews suggest and yes, there was a cake!

I would happily recommend F&R Cottages to any couples looking for a nice relaxing getaway.

Adrian the owner greeted us upon arrival and was so lovely and friendly, he was on site and very approachable should you have a problem, not that we had any issues. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back again soon.

Thank you so much Adrian

We stayed at sleepy fox cottage for 2 nights over the Easter break. The journey in through Pickering was scenic and the cottage was just a few miles out of town. We arrived earlier than the check in time and treated ourselves to a glass of wine at the pub right next door. Yes and I mean right next door!! At check in time we were greeted by Adrian, we were shown around the cottage and Adrian even had a cake out for our arrival. Such a nice touch. The cottage was perfect, extremely clean and had all the amenities you needed. The surrounding courtyard was such a great space for our dogs 🐕 too. Dalby forest was a 3 minute drive from the cottage and whitby only 30 minutes away so the location was just perfect. We shall most certainly be back, maybe with more of the family!

This site was a gem of a find, Central location for exploring,

It was extremely peaceful and relaxing with no road noise.

The private forest access was a real bonus as was having a pub next door

The site owners were very friendly and helpful but respected privacy.

We will definitely be staying here again.

I stayed for three nights in February 2022 and took my friend’s dog along too. The welcome was warm and friendly. The accommodation was very clean, modern and well arranged with all mod cons of a high quality and standard. Everything required for a comfortable stay was provided by the owners of at the Fox & Rabbit. The location was excellent only being a short drive from Whitby which we visited during our stay. The accommodations is nicely tucked away in a quiet location amidst beautiful countryside and near by a delightful pub/restaurant awaits and extends a warm welcome too. Great for taking long walks, a day out to the coast or simply relaxing with a good book or writing a best seller! Highly recommend.
