We arrived at Fernwood to a warm greeting from the nice lady on Reception who guided us to our pitch and made us feel very welcome. The site is probably the best kept I've been to in many years. Great landscaping with plenty of walks for the dog, perfect sized pitches and sparkling clean facilities made for a memorable stay , thank you so much to all at Fernwood who help run such a great site and we will be back very soon.

I don’t usually write reviews on sites but I thought this was worth doing so, we were greeted by a very polite well spoken lady on arrival who explained everything about site and showed us where everything was. The site is perfectly clean and is honestly the cleanest site we have ever visited, fishing on the lake was brilliant, walks down the canal also great. Overall a fantastic quiet weekend. Thanks very much. Would 💯 recommend this site.
