Fernside Bed and Breakfast

Where do I start, firstly I was running late for my check in and after calling to notify the hosts, Linda was more concerned ensuring I have eaten as there wasn’t much in the area. On arrival, Linda met me with a flask of fresh milk for my teas and coffee and settled me in. In the morning I was met by the most wonderful full English breakfast I have ever eaten. I was informed that the eggs were freshly laid this morning, bread was also made that morning and that Linda had personally made the marmalade. Both Ian and Linda are extremely attentive and their attention to detail was noticed throughout my 2 night stay to chocolates next to my bedside to remembering my name every time they saw me. They are incredible hosts and I would recommend anyone to visit for a luxury weekend away! I’ll definitely be returning!!

My husband and I recently stayed for one night at this gorgeous cottage and just wish we’d known about it before! It is first class in every way..with lovely welcoming owners, a delightful location with the most amazing views! Our room was spotless and provided everything you need and more including coffee and tea facilities, fresh milk, biscuits, chocolates, wine glasses, dressing gowns, ironing board and iron, complimentary toiletries and the comfiest king size bed. The best full English breakfast is served in the dining room overlooking the beautiful grounds and served with homemade bread and marmalade. We will definitely be returning.

We booked in for our wedding anniversary. Linda and Ian were welcoming and keen to make our stay comfortable with good facilities and a breakfast menu of variety, cooked by Ian to a high standard. Home grown eggs and bread make by our hosts added that extra special touch. In fact, the whole breakfast experience was there to enjoy. Our room with the balcony gave beautiful views over the Devon countryside and the quiet was deafening. So peaceful and a world away from the usual city sounds. The ensuite facilities were another plus with clean fittings and space to move around. Nothing was too much trouble from the welcoming smile to general conversation, all was a great experience. Leaving was the hardest part as we could have stayed longer. Alas, All things must come to end. Hopefully, it will be nice to stay again in the future.

Had a lovely one night stay here, very warm welcome from Linda who was very accommodating, our room was spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished, lovely bath and separate shower with everything we needed! The breakfast was lovely, fantastic choice, quality produce and beautifully cooked, even a choice of home made bread! We would love to return, definitely a hidden gem, you will not be disappointed!

There aren’t enough superlatives to describe our all too brief stay with Linda and Ian. An outstanding room (Lynton) with a view over rolling meadows complete with cows, horses and pheasants. Plenty of space for our luggage, an extremely comfortable king size bed and a large warm bathroom meant that we were able to drift off into a perfect night’s sleep. The sun streaming through the windows next morning gave us the energy to descend the staircase to find Linda in the sun-drenched breakfast room ready to serve us our excellent breakfast. Perfection! We are looking forward to our next trip to Devon and another helping of heartfelt hospitality.

Wow what a place! The reviews speak for themselves. We had a lovely stay over Easter bank holiday and can safely say we didn’t want to leave. The attention to detail was wonderful, fresh home made bread every morning (I even got inspired and baked my own when I got home!) plus the view from the balcony in the lynton room will stay with me, it truly was heavenly. A wonderful couple who deserve all these lovely reviews and more! Hopefully we can return one day.
