    "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fern Cottage."

    The house was stocked with all of the necessary supplies that made it a home away from home. The bed and bedding was so comfortable (it was just the two of us so we did not use the second bedroom). The location was perfect for all of our day trips and situated nicely to a local pub. Thank you to the owners that put in so much effort to this gorgeous home.

    Thank you for your lovely feedback and for choosing Fern Cottage for your stay. We hope you visit again. Safe onwards travels! Liz Property Owner

    "Lovely cottage in a beautiful part of the countryside."

    A great base to explore the surrounding villages and towns. Not the biggest, but it has everything you need and is reflected in the price. With one dog and one toddler we were more than comfortable. The place was very clean, the beds were super comfortable and toiletries a nice touch. 5 stars!

    Thank you for the lovely review and for choosing our cosy cottage for your stay. We hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner

    "We had a great time at the cottage it was beautiful lovely enclosed garden for our dog and the bed was lovely and comfy."

    The only things we could fault was no iron and no baking trays apart from that everything was great will definitely book again

    Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed Fern Cottage and the beautiful Yorkshire Wolds. I have an iron and ironing board on order, so they’ll be here for your future stay. I can add more baking trays but there is one in the oven, plus a ceramic non-stick one in the cupboard (which makes the best oven-cooked/grilled bacon). Look forward to welcoming you in the future.

    "Lovely cottage, recently refurbished to a very high standard."

    The bed in the main bedroom was very comfortable and the whole place was spotlessly clean. We would definitely return. No need to publish this bit, just for the owners info: A couple of coat hooks on the back of the kitchen door and bathroom door would have been really useful, as would a coffee table (even a tiny one) in the lounge as there's nowhere to put drinks when you're on the sofa.

    Thank you for your lovely feedback and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We’ve now added a couple of coffee stands in the lounge and will add coat hooks when Fern Cottage is next empty. We hope you come and stay again soon! Property Owner

    "Gorgeous cottage, immacutately clean and in a perfect location for exploring York."

    The beds were super comfy and it had all you could need for a comfortable stay. Except perhaps a microwave. Would stay there again.

    Thank you so much for your feedback and for appreciating Fern Cottage and the area as much as we do. Following your suggestion, we have now added a microwave. Hope you can visit again. Liz Property Owner
