“A good week”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2011

Just returned after spending a week with Catherine and David, nothing was too much trouble for them, I was made to feel at home immediately.
The Breakfasts were truly wonderful and kept us going all day! Porridge, Kippers and full "English" which also included haggis and black pudding if desired - I thoroughly recommend it all.
The guest house is very comfortable and in a good position for exploring the local area with its stunning scenery, mountains, hills, lochs, rivers and waterfalls also within easy reach of places slightly further away. There is an old slate quarry at the end of the road which is worth exploring.
There is a local pub at the end of the road which also serves food and a co-op food store open for very long hours next door to that.
I would certainly return.
Keep up the photography David I will expect it on the walls next time!

“This is the place where you want to stay...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 August 2011

We spent a week at Fern Villa and we really enjoyed it.
If you are in the area and want a cosy and comfortable place to stay, Fern Villa is the obvious choice for you.
The owners, Catherine and David are very friendly and attentive hosts, with a great local knowledge of the area. Breakfast is superb, especially the kipper and David`s award winning porridge.
Thanks guys, keep up the good work and David, good luck for this year`s competition!
Highly recommended!

“Excellent place with a warm welcome.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2011

Very friendly couple who served a fantastic breakfast where nothing was forgotten. As we left in the morning David guided us out onto the road and waved us off.
