Our room was marvellous with a great bed and stand-alone bath and shower, both with old style robinets. The wooden inner doors are so beautiful. All is high end quality. We had a selection of teas and coffee with daily fresh milk in our room. The choice of breakfast was abundant with homemade granola, fresh fruit, porridge, full cooked breakfast and even salmon and eggs. Too much to ask. Linda and Ian are wonderful hosts who were happy to help in any way. The views over the countryside are breathtaking. One morning we counted 60 pheasants from our window!
As it is tucked away, you need a gps to find it. The roads are very narrow. At the same time this adds to the exceptional experience of this wonderful place.

We loved everything about Fernside we had excellent communication from Linda and Ian prior to arrival. They were welcoming and friendly hosts. The bedroom/bathroom and facilities were better than indicated in the photos. With lovely, thoughtful touches. We are both vegetarian and the breakfast was absolutely delicious. Views from our room were all spectacular.
Nothing to dislike. We look forward to returning.

Great stay, perfect little getaway - beautiful location and lovely character house. Stayed 1 night and it was just fab.
Hosts were very attentive and the room was just great. The breakfast was also amazing, especially with the setting.
In the country so don't expect a pub just around the corner. Hosts helpful re; evening eating places with several nice options. We ended up at an american grill shack - ridiculous amounts of food, couldn't finish but fun and extraordinally good value. see tripadvisor for more info.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we would definitely book again.

Set in a perfect spot for access to north & south Devon. A beautiful peaceful location with idyllic views from bedroom balcony overlooking the garden, paddock and hills. The room was wonderful with the low ceilings and creaky floors fitting of an old thatched cottage. Linda and Ian were excellent hosts and provided a scrumptious breakfast each morning including homemade bread and preserves.

Beautiful location with stunning views. Ian and Linda were amazing hosts who couldn’t do enough to help. The bed was extremely comfy and having a separate living area for guests was a lovely touch. The breakfast was 5* and the freshly made bread was divine. Will definitely recommend and be back for another visit.
There was nothing to fault!

The property is beautiful on approach, the location and scenery is so lovely too. The couple who the run the BnB were so attentive and kind. The room and bathroom were lovely! Shower and rolltop bath so luxurious and great. Breakfast was incredible and so tasty! Felt so welcome in what is their home!
Another thing was as we were attending a wedding we asked to check in earlier to freshen up after our 3 hour car journey and they let us, we really really appreciated this. Such a kind and well received gesture.

Fernside is situated in a beautiful location. It is exceptionally clean and you are greeted by warm welcoming hosts. The house is immaculately clean and tastefully decorated. Lots of extra little touches that really make a difference. The room we stayed in was spectacular - light and airy with everything you need. Clean crisp bedding, fluffy white towels and not a thing out of place. The bath is out of this world.
Our breakfast was superb. Freshly prepared with quality ingredients cooked to perfection.
We can't fault anything. The grounds are immaculately kept and the lake just stunning. The best place we've EVER stayed.

Ian and Linda were the perfect hosts from the minute we arrived, welcoming us into their beautifully thatched cottage. Our room (Lynton) was perfect with spectacular views and wildlife from the balcony with all the extra touches to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Full english breakfast was amazing and my wife loved her vegetarian option, the homemade granary bread was fantastic!
