A lovely stay. I accidentally booked the wrong B&B and we were very happy with the ‘accidental’ booking. Fantastic value and clean and comfortable and breakfast was spot on! Perfect place for a getaway. Thank you

An amazing place to stay in Isle of White. Great hospitality by Stuart and Angella. They are always there to help. The overall place has a very homely wibe to it. The included breakfast is a delight and is served with a lot of love and affection. The in house pets Winston and Mable(dogs) and Spark(cat) are a great company on a unwinding vacation. The rooms are lovely and appropriately sized. The location is very near to Sandown railway station and Sandown high street. Quite a few nearby restaurants for lunch and dinner options. Overall a great value for money option.

Another great stay!

This was our second time staying at Fernside and yet again we had a fantastic time! We were in the smaller family room this time but it was still plenty of space for me and my two children. The only downside is the WiFi is too weak to connect iPads / kindle for when they just want to chill but other than that it was spotless and comfy! The breakfast as always was excellent and my kids love the different choices they can have each day (so do I!!). The highlight for my two as always was Winston & Mabel. Such lovely dogs and Stuart & Angela are just fantastic! Looking forward to coming back in Aug 2022!
