This was our second time staying at Fernside and yet again we had a fantastic time! We were in the smaller family room this time but it was still plenty of space for me and my two children. The only downside is the WiFi is too weak to connect iPads / kindle for when they just want to chill but other than that it was spotless and comfy! The breakfast as always was excellent and my kids love the different choices they can have each day (so do I!!). The highlight for my two as always was Winston & Mabel. Such lovely dogs and Stuart & Angela are just fantastic! Looking forward to coming back in Aug 2022! ##### Lisa Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 31 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne 28 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful stay at The Fernside We had a wonderful stay at the Fernside Guest house.
