Fern Bank

Superb property .

We loved the decor which flowed throughout the house from sitting rooms to bedrooms and through the outstanding kitchen.I would have given a 10 apart from the fan in bedroom which was pat failed with sticker but we only realised after turning on .The other issue was that the black bin had not been emptied on the thurs prior to arrival so we had to squash in.I would have thought that would have been checked

This was by far the most impressive holiday rental we have stayed in.

No expenses are spare at the property. It is just a wonderful house, well done up, stylish, vast amounts of space and a lovely secure small garden, ideal if you have young kids and/or dogs. We would definitely consider staying here again.

This is a really lovely and spacious property in a quiet location at the top of a hilly road on the edge of town.

It has great views from upstairs and has one of the best appointed kitchens of anywhere we have stayed. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and there is a downstairs WC. The property was cozy and airy with lots of natural light. It accommodated our family group easily and having three living areas meant we could spread out as needed. The bath in the primary en suite was huge and the steam room function in the shower was a lovely addition. Our only disappointment was that the towels were quite small for such a luxury property and even though we were staying for two weeks there was no change of towels or bedding which during summer months seems disappointing for such a nice property. Our other suggestion would be to add more hooks to hang things in bedrooms and bathrooms. All in all a great stay.

Lovely accommodation finished to a high and comfortable specification.

A great base for a large party to explore North Lakes. Local location great for dog walks to Penrith Beacon and the local parks and an easy walk (if you are ok with the hill) into the town centre. Would highly recommend.

This was our second time at Fern Bank.

Absolutely stunning , we couldn't find fault with anything. The weather was mixed but it was lovely to stay in and relax in beautiful surroundings. We will definitely stay here again.

The property on arrival was in the town which I didn’t expect, when we got to the house had problems with the gates and had to climb over railings to push button for them to open, the gates also wouldn’t close flush.

We arrived at night and I would reccomend more lighting as very difficult to see when walking to the house. The house is beautiful, lovely and clean on arrival lots of space, kitchen was very well equipped everything you need! The gardens were a bit messy could do with a tidy up, the garden furniture also could do with a upgrade to match the quality of the interior of the house. Unfortunately we had to leave early as we had an emergency to go to.

Comfy house, Very clean place, Kids loved the built in speakers they all sang together.

We really enjoyed. Would definitely be back. Thank you Adam.

Excellent property with amazing comfort and space for a large family booking.

Very delighted with the fully equipped kitchen and the separate lounge spaces. This luxurious property was very tastefully furnished and is highly recommended.

Amazing property!

Absolutely would stay here again! Perfect for large family or group of friends who love the outdoors! Being able to take the dog was also a blessing!

Beautiful property, very spacious and one of the most well equipped kitchens we've come across.

Many thanks to Adam for looking after us all. Comfy beds, very clean bathrooms and kitchen. Would recommend and we're thinking of returning we enjoyed it so much.

Another fabulous stay at Fern Bank.

The property was spotless upon arrival and lovely and warm after the journey up and cold weather. The little extras were greatly appreciated and made the day even more memorable - the fresh bread was delicious, milk in the fridge for that much needed cup of tea and of course the dog treats

The property was everything we expected and more.

We had a lovely break and the maintenance staff could not have been better. We had a small issue and they were out within minutes to sort it out to an incredibly high standard. Could not recommend this property more.

Absolutely loved our stay at Fern Bank.

The house is beautiful and the attention to detail is outstanding. Can’t fault anything about it. Hopefully we shall return one day.

Very clean, comfortable property.

Decor very tasteful. Plenty of space for a large group. The housekeeper Adam went above and beyond for us. Garden well maintained and pleasant space. A bit of milk as others have said would be useful, especially after a really long journey. As a suggestion, perhaps a hot tub in the garden would be nice

A lovely property with great facilities.

Nice part of Penrith and a good walk into town. Close to great countryside. Would have been useful to have had some milk in the fridge when we arrived.

Absolutely amazing property.

I loved everything about it,the size,the decor and above all relaxation which was what I needed as I was moving house in the NY so it was a blessing. Attention to detail and every comfort you could wish for was in this house. I cannot recommend it enough and look forward to booking it again in the future.

A fantastic place to stay!

Everything has been thought off and the property is well appointed, furnished and maintained.

Fern Bank is absolutely gorgeous!

We stayed mid November as a group of 8. The house is immaculate, beautifully decorated and furnished! The owners have thought of everything - built in speakers in the kitchen and bedroom, lovely crockery and the boot room for muddy shoes - all the little details! The living room is cosy, we made use of the open fire on all three nights. All 4 bedrooms were large with big en-suite bathrooms, all spotlessly clean on arrival. Full equipped for a weekend in the lakes - 5* property. We can’t wait to return next year.

Great house beautifully put together.

Amazing entertaining area which was great for the private chef we hired. It is documented that there is a steam room but we were pleasantly surprised by that so for us an extra bonus. The bedrooms are incredible. Me and my husband stayed in the zip link twin/double and it was so spacious. The house is well heated so much so the log burner didn’t need to go on. Each room having its own bathroom was an absolute luxury and the details were wonderful from the Denby kitchenware to the treats on arrival. It’s a great location and we will definitely be back again.

This is an absolutely stunning house!

Very comfortable, well equipped with all you need for short or long stays. The steam room is a great feature for extra relaxation and recovery after those long walks. The house is very clean, well appointed and extremely spacious.

The house was generally very clean except a few hairs here and there and also popcorn and Pringles were left under the coffee table in the kitchen lounge area.

Some of the door handles were very stiff, my children required help opening some of the bathroom doors. The house wasn’t as “rural” as the pictures suggested; it was part of a housing estate. The house itself was amazing, kitchen had everything you could think of. It was very plush and finished to a very high standard. Would definitely stay again.

My children and I stayed at the house a couple of times over the summer holidays and we would definitely stay again.

The house was decorated and furnished to a very high standard. There was plenty of space for everyone, including a lovely big living kitchen/dining area as well as two other separate living rooms. The kitchen had everything we needed and the bedrooms were very roomy. The bathrooms were all very luxurious, with special mention for the en-suite to the master bedroom including its amazing giant bath and lovely steam room. There was good outside space to enjoy the weather and the kids enjoyed playing in the garden while the adults relaxed with a glass of wine. The location was excellent – nice and peaceful=but within walking distance of the little town centre (although the return walk was harder as the house is located at the top of a bank). The town centre itself has lots of little restaurants, bars, shops and supermarkets (including an M&S food). There was also a little park a short walk away with lovely views over the hills, which the children enjoyed. There are plenty of tourist attractions within a reasonable drive too, including Lowther Castle (which is also recommended) and Ullswater lake. All in all, I’d recommend this to others and already looking at dates for our next trip

Newly refurbished with a lovely open plan kitchen with large entertaining spaces overlooking the garden, including a family room for kids.

The kids had a great time playing in the garden which is nice and safe. Each bedroom is en-suite making it perfect for groups of couples or families. It feels very homely as soon as you walk in. Nice and peaceful and great location in the Lake District.
