We stayed at The Fernside for a few days in May. The room was very comfortable and clean. Den and Laurie were the perfect hosts. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The cooked breakfast was great, and set us up for the day. It was great to go back to The Fernside in the evening and relax in the... More

Visited with friends for a weekend trip away to the Fernside. Both Denise and Lawrie were so welcoming and nothing was too much for them. The choice of English Breakfast was great and cooked to perfection. My fried egg was lovely and runny, very difficult when catering for so many people at one time. The Fernside maybe a little old...

I came with friends to stay at Fernside during the weekend. Denise and Lawrie are so welcoming and helpful. The cooked breakfast was delicious and we also enjoyed several other meals and had very generous helpings! The decor at Fernside may be old fashioned, but everywhere was spotlessly clean and our room with ensuite shower was comfortable. We enjoyed a... More

Stayed recently for a couple of nights over a weekend. When you arrive you could be forgiven for thinking it's a little out of the way and looks a little old fashioned, but for what it lacks in modern decor it makes up for in droves with service. We were greeted very cheerfully and shown to our rooms. Our double... More

My wife booked this hotel for a short stay on the Isle of Wight with the intention that her cousin and husband would stay with us. Unfortunately due to family reasons they couldn't go. When we arrived Laurie gave us a warm welcome and told us about various places to eat in town. He also told us which roads to... More

We stayed for three nights, and yes, the cooked breakfast was good, although a very limited choice of fruit, grapefruit segment and prunes. The room looked very 'Heath Robinson', with cables hanging in bunches behind the tv, running down the doorframes, none of the fixtures & fittings matched. It certainly did not give a feeling of peace and harmony. Soap... More

This is very disappointing. It is evident from all of the other reviews, that the overwhelming majority of our guests leave happy. It is such a shame that we were unable to meet the expectations of this particular guest. More

Been going to the fernside with my parents for years now, and never disapointed once with our stay. The breakfast is fatastic, with local produce on offer! The rooms are always clean and serviced well, and the Laurie is a superb hotel owner, making everyone feel welcome and comfortable.

My son and I booked fairly late (about 2 weeks before arrival and including ferry), and Lawrie couldn't have been more accommodating: everything was sorted out very quickly. On arrival, we found the rooms to be clean, everyone welcoming, a decent-sized breakfast and a shower that worked (not as common an experience as you might think!). We were so impressed... More

We stayed at the Fernside for 3 nights over the jubilee weekend at the start of June 2012 and had a brilliant stay. The best bits: 1) Very welcoming and friendly atmosphere. The staff were really helpful throughout our stay. 2) The location- ideally located a short walk from the train station and the beach on a peaceful road- nice... More
