Oldies reunion
Very comfortable and incredibly well equipped. We appreciated the fact that every room was en suite. Slight niggle that the dining room is downstairs, which makes fetching and carrying food etc less easy particularly at our age.

Fabulous walking base
Fernlea was our base for a group of friends annual gathering to walk, catch up, eat and relax. It was very well equipped with excellent kitchen facilities and each member of the group was able to have their own room and bathroom. Lots of coastal walks directly from the house allowed us to park up on Friday afternoon and not get back into a car until we left. When the weather allowed views were excellent. Would thoroughly recommend for families and groups. Nearest shops and pubs are a mile or two away so make sure you bring everything you need with you. It really was a fabulous way to spend a weekend and we all agree we would happily use again for our meet ups.
