Guest Testimonials
‘Despite the challenges imparted upon us by Storm Imogen, our group enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing stay at the Fernery. The house offers a warm and relaxing atmosphere and is ideally placed for enjoying the numerous beaches and challenging walks the area has to offer. As a group, we rarely have the opportunity to enjoy each other’s company for more than a few hours. However, on this occasion, The Fernery facilitated memories that will be remembered for many years to come – it was a joy.’ Feb 2016 Fraser Richards MSc MCGI
