'The Ferns' is very spacious, some say like the 'tardis'. Beautifully furnished and positioned in this lovely village. Two sitting rooms, a snug, three woodburners, a large dining room with Aga and a separate kitchen.
There are numerous original features, throughout including the pamment floor. We have taken great pride in the house and have made it a place where we want to spend time with our friends. We have not furnished it with 'rentals' or small children in mind but as a place fo

Stayed Dec 20, 2025The first, and most important, thing to know about Ferns is that it is NOT a holiday rental. You know, those rentals with exactly 6 knives, 6 forks, 6 plates etc. This is Henry and Molly’s home. And it is an old building dating from the sixteenth century. (Don’t worry, there have been some improvements since!) So it is quirky, eccentric, full of stuff and very, very comfortable. We rented it for two weeks over Christmas/ New Year 25/26, with varying amounts of children and grandchildren and they all loved it.The kitchen is more than fully equipped; all possible electric gadgets, pots and pans in excess, extremely varied crockery and implements that looked more like medieval torture instruments. The completely modern downstairs shower was a delight, especially as it was permanently heated and it was a bit chilly outside. Three very comfortable reception rooms. Be careful with the wood burner in the TV room as it is incredibly good at heating the room and can require the opening of windows to cool the room down if one is over enthusiastic with the logs! All the bedrooms were very comfortable, with duvets to die for.50 yards from a good pub, and 50 yards from the beach. What more could you want?A marvellous time was had by all, and many thanks to Henry who was always available to solve any problems that arose.
