Fernhill House Hotel & Gardens

Fernhill House Hotel is the most amazing wedding venue we could have ever wished for. It’s hard to leave a review for Fernhill House Hotel that gets across how incredible it and all of the staff are. We got married here last month, during a weather warning, and to say they went above and beyond for us is an understatement. If you are considering booking here for your wedding, it will be the best decision you make. Nothing was a problem, from extra Prosecco at the drinks reception, to the one of the brothers, Neil coming to the church in sideways rain because he was worried one of us forgot a bouquet, to one of the other brothers, Michael making us a ham sandwich at 3AM. The Frank Sinatra of barmen, Michael, kept the fun going all weekend! Michael Sr and Theresa are the most lovely, welcoming people, even joining the wedding for a dance. Shay is an amazing waiter, the guests were never short a top up! Ellie, Ann and Laura are wonderful wedding coordinators/event managers, with nothing being too big a task, even 240 place cards and photos! It’s not like any other hotel I have ever been to, they welcome you into their home and really care about each wedding and guest. We had the absolute best weekend in Fernhill. The food/rooms/gardens are amazing but it really is the people that make it. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts, Jill and Bruce Hayes

Absolutely fell in love with this hotel! The atmosphere, the colours, the furnishings—everything was just stunning. We stayed for two nights while attending a family wedding and felt thoroughly spoiled the entire time. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel so welcome. The food was delicious, and the grounds were beautifully kept—perfect for a peaceful stroll. Honestly, what’s not to love? Can’t wait to come back!

Stayed here recently, most acceptable on the whole, a few points to improve on. The reception we received upon check in was tidy, but it was lacking a sense of the guest being important, like a welcome drink. We were given a room that had only just been opened after a full refurbishment. That was a most pleasant surprise. We loved the bedroom, the decor, the cosy, home feel, the substantial size and pleasing bathroom. That's what made other details not in keeping. Such as, there were no biscuits with the tea, no herbal tea, cheap instant coffee, no magazine and rough sheets and uncomfortable pillows. Those things, for us, when they are done properly, make a stay much more enjoyable. Soundproofing not great, do bear in mind. There was a small patio, garden with it, which was very tastful. Food is an excellent standard. Breakfast was small but a good offering. Fruit salad was dreadful. Pancakes on the kitchen menu would have been appreciated. Gardens are delightful to walk in. Overall we would return but they need to consider those extra details to make the paying guest feel more special and valued.
