The Fernery Reviews

Jamie
We had a lovely stay here! The location is perfect, with loads of dog-friendly walking spots both on the estate and in nearby villages. The staff were really welcoming and friendly, which made our visit even better. The hot tub was a highlight, though it did take a while to heat up. There's plenty to explore around-Richmond and Raby Castles are definitely worth a tripand Hopetown Darlington is a great place for train fans with free entry and fun exhibits. We'd come back!
Emma Roberts
Beautiful surroundings, very relaxing, close to everything we needed.
Maggie
This place is perfect for a peaceful getaway. The view from the snug is stunningand it's super cosy inside. Our dogs had a great timeand we loved relaxing after long walks all week.
Lucy
This cottage is beautifully decorated, well equipped, cleanand has lovely soft furnishings with comfy beds. The location is quiet and fairly remote, right at the end of a long lane on a farm or estate, making it a great base to explore the surrounding areas of Yorkshire. We used the wood fire hot tub once as it was quite time consuming to heat, but our daughter really enjoyed it! The only minor downside was the patchy WiFi, which did affect our ability to watch films in the evening. Overall, we had a fabulous time here.
Alex
We arrived a bit late thanks to trafficand honestly, finding our way was tricky since there was no clear signage on the estate. Had to ring Jo, who seemed a bit disinterested in helping. The cottage wasn't as spotless as we expectedand our dog was a bit unsettled due to the strong dog smells. The estate is lovely, but there's no info on walks - just a basic map, so we ended up exploring the Dales instead. Beds were super comfy though, but it's pretty pricey for only 6 days! Wouldn't rush back.
Samantha
The cottage is in a lovely peaceful locations; with walks from the door all over the estate. The cottage is clean and well appointed; the beds very comfortable and the kitchen huge! All in all, a very relaxing place to stay.
Emma
This cottage is absolutely fantastic! It has everything you could possibly need for an enjoyable stay. We had a fabulous time and will be making a return visit for sure.
James
The cottage was really lovely and exceeded our expectations. It was quiet, relaxed and comfortable. The basket of goodies when we arrived was such a nice touch. The only issue was there was too much to see and do, so we will definitely have to come back since we didn't cover half of the things on our lists and we never got to walk around the estate or stroll to the local pub. Next time!
Emily
This cottage is just lovelyand the grounds are fantastic! Everyone we met was super friendly and helpful. It's definitely great for kids and dogs too!
