As shown in pic, I have a hole in my stone foundation and winter isn't
too far
away. Can someone advise the best way to fix? And what kind of stone and/or
mortar,etc to use? Please be as specific as possible as I'm very much a
novice

Stones cut to fit, and installed with hydraulic cement would be
easiest - although Mortar is generally used for stonework. Hydraulic
cement expands as it sets - making it easier to get a tight repair.
All I can say is "lots of luck"
