  • "We stayed at Fern Lee as a family of 20."

    The house was perfect for us. Lovely spacious comfortable house. Spotlessly clean. Great location, walking distance to centre. Kids loved the hot tub & the smaller lounge for their own space. Great that each room had their own private ensuite or bathroom. Kitchen facilities were perfect, allowed us to cook breakfasts and dinners for 20 of us! Very easy to find fromA69. Will definitely book again. We all loved it and were all gutted to leave.

    Thank you so much for the great 100/100 review. I am delighted that you have has such a wonderful time at Fern Lee. It sounds like you had everything you needed and we do have the best cleaning team but really nice that you have gave recognition of how spotless the house was. Makes such a difference when all 20 guests can enjoy meals all together in the dining room.We'd love to welcome you back. Kindest Regards Julie Property Owner

  • "I actually think the photos could be improved in the listing as the property exceeded expectations!"

    It’s much nicer than it looked online! The downstairs space was fabulous! I loved that all of us could sit down and still have space. We were lucky with the weather and used the outside tables and hot tub which was a great temperature! The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed and thought had gone into catering for 20 people I.E. 2 toasters, 2 kettles. Only criticism was that we could have done with a couple of extra bin bags and dishwasher tablets. The garden also needs a bit of a tidy but, everything might have had a growth spurt with the sunshine!

    Thank you so much for leaving a wonderful 94/100 review. It's lovely to hear that guests have had a great time when staying at our properties. Fernlee really is a special property to spend time with family and friends. We pride ourselves in making your holiday feel like 'home-from-home' and work hard to make sure our guests have everything they need. You are right..everything in the garden has grown rapidly due to the amazing weather we've been having but the team are on top of it. Kindest Regards Julie Property Owner

    It gave us easy access to the interesting Carlisle area. Reconfiguring the furniture for our stay meant we could suit our mealtime socialising and meeting/relaxing times. Carlisle is undergoing major town renovations hopefully complete soon.

    It has everything you need and more. The only suggestion for improvement I could give was if there could be a couple of extra tea towels and maybe oven gloves to be provided.

  • "Very good property for a large group or large families."

    When I first saw the listing didn't think of it to be as big as it was. Very good location not too far from main supermarkets. This property isn't too far from the Lake District so that's another plus. Also I'd like to say Julie was very helpful and very informative didn't have no difficulties when we arrived. Everything was sent over to us regarding what we may need to bring along with us and what was already provided which was also helpful. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property to anyone whose looking to book.

    I'm so pleased that you had such a good time! Fern Lee is a perfect location for multi-generational family get togethers and big enough for everyone to enjoy their own space too. Great to hear that you would highly recommend us and thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. Best Wishes Julie Property Owner

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay."

    The house is spacious and very comfortable with an extremely well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed the outside space and hot tub too. There is ample parking (we had 6 cars between us and all easily fitted on the drive) Fern Lee is well positioned for strolling along the river and into the centre of Carlisle. It's about a 15 minute walk to the train station and a couple of buses also run near the house.

    Thanks for leaving us a great review. I'm delighted that you had such a good time at Fern Lee. It's always nice to get feedback about how well equipped our properties are as we go to great lengths to make sure guests have everything they need. The walk along the river to get into the centre of Carlisle is a great way to travel! Just a short distance where you will find all local amenities including restaurants, bars and shops.

CARLISLE

Gretna Green 13.1 miles; Penrith 19.9 miles; Dumfries 36.2 miles

Carlisle is set in the county of Cumbria, situated just 10 miles south of the Scottish Borders and is nicknamed the Border City. During Roman times the town was established to serve the forts for Hadrian's Wall, which runs east from the city across the country to Wallsend on the east coast and today is recognised as a World Heritage Site. During the Middle Ages, due to its proximity to the Kingdom of Scotland, Carlisle became an important military stronghold and Carlisle Castle, still relatively intact, was built in 1092 by William Rufus, after once serving as a prison for Mary, Queen of Scots. The castle now houses the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment and the Border Regiment Museum. In the early 12th century Henry I allowed the foundation of a priory in Carlisle and the town gained the status of a diocese in 1122, resulting in the priory becoming Carlisle Cathedral. The Settle to Carlisle railway runs across some of the most breathtaking scenery to the popular Yorkshire town and Carlisle Racecourse has a packed fixture list including Ladies’ Day and evening fixtures. Within driving distance is the Victorian seaside town of Silloth and just over the border is Gretna Green, where you'll find the Gretna Gateway Shopping Centre and Anvil Hall, the famous wedding venue.
