All we can say to all our guests, past, present, those who have returned and those yet to stay - thank you for making our first 4 1/2 years in "Bed and Breakfast" so successful and so enjoyable. Sue and Pete x Fantastic few days. We chose Fern Cottage because of the attractive web site. In reality, out of this world! Service and food second-to-none. Definitely worth a re-visit. We shall be back. Thank you Sue and Pete. Margaret and Mike 10 August 08 I really do have to thank you for an absolutely fabulous weekend, you are both wonderful hosts and we really do believe you truly deserve the awards you have won and hope you also achieve the same this year. We have never stayed in another B & B with the same attention to every detail. The breakfast was superb, kept us going all day, the supper was a real treat and again superb. We felt really spoilt the whole weekend. We are also looking forward to our stay with you in September - it was a relief that you had the rooms available for the 4 of us. I will be passing on to our friends what wonderful hosts you both are and what a FAB B&B you have, you are simply the best. Thank you both once again for making us feel so welcome. Kathy and Phil 16 June 2008. (Taken from an e-mail) Found this wonderful place via the internet, so was quite reserved on arrival! But unlike a lot of accommodation advertised on the net, this has lived up to the advert in everyway possible. Will be coming again for sure and recommending to others. Thanks Pete and Sue, your hospitality has been excellent from start to finish. David and Jen, Northants. 27th April 08 Chris and I would like to say a big thank you for not only your hospitality but the lovely surroundings, comfortable and attractive accommodation and the wonderful food - all this, and sensitive to the "green" issues. You are both to be congratulated on providing a wonderful and very affordable service. We needed a few days away and what a pleasure to spend it at Fern Cottage. The weather, cold but glistening was a perfect backdrop for all the wildlife common or garden, as well as deer and sparrowhawks! We would love to return. We wish you all the best and many thanks again. Stephanie and Chris 19 Feb 2008 (taken from a thank you letter). After a couple of really hard years, we needed to get away from it all and try to relax and celebrate Mick’s good news. Where else could you go and be so welcomed, cared for and thoroughly spoilt. Your web site caught my eye as being just the place we needed, but it did not tell me it would be so much more. Thank you very much. Best wishes Love from Paula and Mick. 8th October 2007 (Taken from a Thank you Card). Sue and Pete have worked hard to achieve their well deserved Awards. Alice and Michael Sneary, Saltash, Cornwall. 10th September 2007 Wonderful hospitality, beautiful room with attention to detail – very generous breakfasts, very caring and helpful hosts. Thanks very much. Eve and Joe Gracey, Milton Keyns 30th August 2007 Thank you both for a relaxing stay. Made to feel extremely welcome. Sue and Pete are the perfect hosts, fantastic breakfast and accommodation beautiful. Kevin and Gail Grose, Cornwall 16th August 2007 Yet again, just brilliant – great accommodation and super breakfasts. We will be back, if we can get in! An early booking looks increasingly essential. Many thanks. Hollis & June Maldon, Essex, 22 July 2007 (2nd visit) Amazing, best B & B ever – beats the 4 Star hotel we stayed in the night before. Thank you. Simon and Simone, West Yorkshire 16 July 2007 Thank you both so very much for making our stay so enjoyable. After our awful drive down and then the cancellation of the concert, Fern Cottage made up for it! Our room was lovely and your attention to detail made it even more special. It was so nice to wake up to such wonderful views and see those happy chickens (we’re sure they were smiling!). We both really enjoyed our breakfasts, they were absolutely delicious and we were completely full for the rest of the day!! You’re the perfect hosts and deserve all the Awards and Accolades you receive and we’re sure there’ll be many more! We look forward to coming back in the not-too-distant future (hopefully!). With many thanks and good wishes to you both. Sue and Richard” 23rd July 2007 (taken from a Thank you card). What an amazing time we had. Wonderful hosts, room, food, view, everything! Thank you so much for making our stay so pleasurable and for the warmth you have shown. We're missing Fern Cottage already and will definitely be back. We were treated like Royalty and I don't think any bed and breakfast would even be able to beat you on the hospitality and the attention to detail you have shown. See you again soon. Love Dan and Leanne. June 2007 (taken from their thank you card).
