We know how gorgeous our retreats are, but don’t just take our word for it – here’s what previous guests say about Fern:

It is pleasantly private but not remote - it has a brilliant hot tub and is truly doggy-friendly!

Beautiful quiet location, with gorgeous private grounds. Stylish and comfortable interiors throughout, with everything we needed. Great hot tub! Very friendly and accommodating owners. Can't wait to go back!

Everything was perfect.

Beautiful place in stunning grounds. Enjoyed the tennis court playing with the family m.

Lovely quiet site. Accommodation was excellent and had everything we needed inside and out.

Fern was the best, in our opinion, of all of the boutique retreats we have stayed in.

Lovely spot with great facilities. Host was very helpful.

A fantastic week staying at Fern. Sat out in the hot tub listening to the silence and bird song was lovely, along with the stars in an evening. Everything was high quality, with beautiful decor. We’ll be back for another stay soon.

Lovely stay with sufficient amenities. Car definitely required to go further a field (Falmouth/Penzance .etc). Host was very welcoming on arrival.

Top rated place with very high specification / quality interior. Perfect for couples and families alike. Peaceful place yet close by to beaches, woodlands towns and villages as well as many local beauty spots. So much to do. Very dog friendly and enough to do if you didn’t want to explore the area and spend a day at ‘home’

Fern was amazing, it feels so luxurious and the site itself feels exclusive. We loved having the pool booking system as having it to yourself just adds to the exclusive feeling you get here- would be happy to have this system post Covid. The superking bed needs to be slept on to fully appreciate as no words could justify just how comfy it is. The site is super dog friendly and Oscar the resident dog is a beauty, the owner here is very accommodating towards your dog. We found the location perfect for days out and the accommodation perfect for when you go home! Didn’t want to leave infact have already booked to return for a two week stay as loved it so much, cannot wait to be back in the hot tub!

The Fern at Emerald was stylish spacious and impeccably clean! It was so comfortable and luxurious we had such a fab holiday away because of this, and the surrounding grounds with lake and swimming pool etc was such an added bonus!!! Hugely recommend!!!
