Fernleigh Villa Annexe Reviews

Lovely place to stay. Owners are friendly and very helpful. Wished we could have stayed longer. Will be looking to return in the future

Great property with excellent facilities in an interesting part of the country. The pool, hot tub and sauna were much appreciated and Val and Sean were very friendly, accommodating hosts. All in all a very enjoyable week.

A lovely annex with great bubble extension in the pretty garden. Well equipped and well maintained. Clean and warm pool and the hot tub are a great bonus. Being older and shorter, we found the microwave awkward to reach but Sean quickly moved it for us and it was perfect. Unfortunately one evening there was a electricity blackout in the area but Sean at once called in providing excellent torches and checking we were OK. A cheery and helpful host. We had a great stay.

Amanda

Owners Sean and val were great hosts. It was a wonderful place to stay. Everything you could want from a holiday. Thank you.

Hayley

It was beautiful and so welcoming. Lots of information, there wasn't anything we didn't need to enjoy our stay. Very spacious. Val and Sean are amazing and very friendly. Wouldwill book again. Beautiful peaceful place, ideal for relaxing and just listening to nature

Mollie

The property was just perfect for us. Safe secure garden for the dog and for one of our party who suffers with dementia. The property is very well equipped with everything that you would need to prepare meals and more! As 2 of our party needed help with personal care we found the shower in the pool house was fantastic with plenty of room to help shower them. The only draw back was one of the bedrooms is a bit small but adequate. We were lucky with the weather and spent most of the time in the garden, where the table and chairs are in a sun trap and would benefit with a bigger sun shade. The swimming pool was great as was the jacuzzi. Due to the exceptionally hot weather we didnt use the sauna! Sean and Val were excellent hosts and nothing was too much trouble . We laughed at their dogs having their own swimming pool and loved watching Val riding one of the four horse and being allowed to pet the horses. As soon as I okay it with work we will be booking for next year. Thanks Sean and Val for making our holiday perfect.

Albert

Excellent property, well equipped and the pool and hot tub were a fantastic addition to the property. The owners were very helpful and friendly and the area was great for dog walks and visiting surrounding towns and villages.

Pauline

A little Gem, initially booked a week with my two fur babies but ended up staying for a further week. The Pool is great lovely temperature and always clean,hot tub too just wonderful experience all round.Sean and Val are friendly and very welcoming. Thank you for letting me meet and feed the horses with mints

Delightful break away.

You just need to go to this place, just so wonderful with terrific hosts. Private swimming pool and hot tub plus sauna, very dog friendly the annexe is a delightful secure garden for your pooch plus lots around and about to see and do, that's if you can drag yourself away from the annexe its beautiful.

Such a wonderful place and hosts. There cannot be much better on Sykes's books it's a mustdo visit, and we will certainly go back at some point.

Stephanie

We had a lovely & relaxing stay. The place is clean and the owners are very friendly and helpful. The facilities at the cottage are a great bonus. We went in the private pool and hot tub everyday. The place is really dog friendly too with lots of places to visit that are dog friendly. Thanks again for making our stay so relaxing!!

Elizabeth

We had a wonderful stay at Fernleigh Villa. The owners could not have made us feel more welcome, including our dog. The place is extremely dog friendly, with a lovely back garden to play in. Good location for sightseeing. It's a bit of a drive to Great Yarmouth, but we did it as a day trip with a stop on Norwich as well. Lots of dog friendly cafes and restaurants to go to. Plenty of beaches even with the summer restrictions in place. The cottage it's self is very cosy, comfy and stylish. Hot tub and pool were lovely at the end of a days exploring. There was an info pack about the place and the local information for where to eat out etc was helpful. We will definitely be back.

Theresa

A very enjoyable and peaceful stay. The facilities were excellent, the cottage was very clean & cozy and had everything you needed. Owners were on hand if we needed them which we didnt. No complaints at all. Hope to go back sometime.

This was our second holiday at Fernleigh. The accommodation is clean and comfortable and nothing is too much trouble for Val and Sean .We enjoy our stay so much that we have already booked for next year

Nice comfortable stay. Val and Sean had thought of everything. Thank you.

Kenneth

We had a relaxing week at Fernleigh Annexe, and received a warm welcome from the owners Sean and Val. The cottage is well appointed and comfortable, and the facilities of the Sauna, pool and hot tub made our evenings special. Situated in the heart of rural Norfolk, Fernleigh Annexe is the ideal base for touring the Fens and the market towns around, and within reach of the Norfolk coast. Plenty of local walks, and dogs welcome at the property. We will certainly book this property again.

Another great stay at the property, clean and comfortable with everything needed for a week's stay. Fantastic having sole use of the pool and hot tub. Hosts Sean and Val were very friendly and accommodating. Hope to return for a third visit!

Sharon

The owners were very welcoming, showed us all around and explained how everything worked. The swimming pool was excellent and the water was very warm. The hot tub was nice and relaxing and the sauna was very good. The garden is secure which allowed us to let our dog run around safely.

Robert

Return visit to this property and the standards are still high. Pool & hot tub great although pool was cool by end of the week but didnt stop us using it Sean & Val excellent hosts. Agree with previous review about moving microwave for easier use, if tall probably not a problem. That said a great place to stay.

Had a lovely week in the annexe, it was a nice base to explore Wisbech, Downham Market and other area's. Lovely walks along the canals, peaceful and pretty village. Sean and Val were very helpful and friendly hosts. The sofa was a little low for me and my disabled husband as it was difficult to get up off but that's just us, not everyone will be affected by this. Beds very comfortable, pool and hot tub very nice. Well equipted kitchen, has everything you need to feel home from home, although I would move the microwave from above the sink to the sideboard to make it easier and safer to use. We would certainly consider rebooking again though.

Lynsey

We had a wonderful stay, booked mainly due to the pool and we certainly made the most of it.

Thanks for a lovely stay. Jessica loved the pool!

Richard

We have had a great holiday. Sean and Val are brilliant hosts who go out of there way to help if needed. Had a problem with my car and Sean went to get a part so that we could get home safely. The property is lovely. We swam every day. And loved the hot tub. We did use the sauna but in the heat wave it was hot! We cannot fault the owners or the property and cant wait to visit again with our dogs. Lily and Poppy. Thank you again August 1219th

A perfect place to stay! The facilities are amazing. The Annexe was extremely comfortable, just like a home from home. We met the owners Val and Sean are they are an amazing couple, so warm and friendly. Would highly recommend this place to stay.

Hayley

We had a wonderful week staying at Fernleigh Villa! The location is beautiful, the accommodation is welcoming, clean and cosy! The right amount of room for 4 people comfortably! The hosts are also extremely lovely and couldnt do more to help us! The added bonus of having a swimming pool, hot tub and sauna to use was the icing on the cake and we definitely made good use of them! We took my brother who is autistic and he had an absolutely amazing time and I can already tell he will want to go back again! Would definitely recommend and its also great for a base to explore the Norfolk area, as we did!

Very friendly owners who were always on hand. Great facilities, we had a lovely time.

20th to 3rd June 2022 Lovely warm welcome by the owners. The Annex was clean and tidy, the description of the Annex was spot on. Sean and Val the owners were amazing, nothing was too much trouble. The highlight for us was having the private pool and hot tub, our 6 year old loved swimming every day. Would I recommend yes. Hope to be back soon.

The property was lovely, comfortable and clean. Situated in beautiful surroundings. The pool, hot tub were kept at a lovely warm temperature. Outside the garden was very pretty, and the Eden Project style bubble was great to sit in and have a meal. We were surrounded by donkeys & ponies in the adjoining fields. The owners were very pleasant & hospitable. Plenty of walks to do by the river. The village of Upwell very friendly.

Sheila

Lovely & comfortable home from home Sean & val the owners made u feel so welcome ... Lovely & comfortable home from home Sean & val the owners made u feel so welcome nothing was too much trouble for them to make your stay the best we had a lovely chilled & relaxing week even our dog loved it there Thanks again Sean & val xxx

A perfect getaway. The owners were welcoming and helpful, and made us feel at home straight away. The annex is ideal, with everything you might need. Having a pool, hot tub and sauna on the doorstep was fantastic, and the garden is a lovely space for relaxing. Great for a quiet break, or located within easy driving distances of some nice townsthe coast. We will definitely be booking here again.

Stacey

Lovely holiday home. The pool stayed lovely and warm the hot tub was amazing.lovely comfy beds. Secure garden for a dog. Comfy beds. Lovely comfy sofas can't fault the place at all and the owners were so lovely and helpful.will be booking again for next year.

Val and Sean were welcoming as soon as we arrived ,Sean even helped bring our luggage into the property. The property was very clean and comfortable,there was everything you could need in the kitchen,just enough crockery we had been to properties that catered for 4 people and the cupboards were rammed with too much crockery,so much so ,there was no room to put your food items you had brought with you It was very relaxing to sit in the garden watching the birds and later if it got chilly we could sit in the dome,this was very pretty with all the fairy lights and although the property is advertised with a gazebo ,we found the dome to be much nicer .It was also lovely to be able to go and use the hot tub and swimming pool whenever you wanted .If any problems arose ,Sean had it sorted immediately,nothing was too much trouble.All in all a very relaxing holiday ,we loved it soo much we booked to go again next year before we left ,and I cannot wait to go back

We thoroughly enjoyed our break at the Fernleigh Villa Annexe. The local area was beautiful with a shop, chip shop and pubs nearby. The accommodation was lovely and clean and had everything we needed. Having exclusive use of an indoor pool and hot tub was the perfect way to keep the children entertained the enclosed garden was great for the dog. Sean and Val are friendly and helpful hosts. Highly recommended!

Sean and Val were excellent hosts, very helpful. They answered any questions we had, such as restaurant recommendations. The swimming pool and hot tub were wonderful, especially at the end of a day out visiting towns and villages. The garden was great for our dog as it was totally secure and there were some lovely walks along the canal 3 minutes away. Our only negative comment would be the table in the annex was a bit small for us, we like to sit leisurely over a meal chatting, but that was remedied by having the igloo, which could be heated, with a very comfortable table and chairs set up. The weather was good to us so we could sit outside in the beautiful garden with total peace and quiet. Definitely worth a holiday here.

Robert

Excellent holiday property with great facilities. Owners Sean & Val very welcoming and helpful. A very dog friendly property with a secure garden. Swimming pool larger than expected but a nice bonus. Another bonus we found was that the fridge was actually a fridge freezer small freezer only listed as a fridge. Overall an excellent stay and would definitely recommend and return hopefully soon.

Can't recommend this place enough! The annexe was spotless, warm, comfortable and homely with all the mod cons for sole use of holiday makers. Lots of extras we didn't expect like milk in the fridge and robes for use in sauna ect. The pool was larger than expected and kept at a warm temperature which was great for adults and teenagers alike. It's hot tub is out of this world, always 36degrees and well maintained. The local area is great for cycling and walking as its all flat. But above all the hosts were most definitely beyond our expectations, pleasant, warm and welcoming. Took us through everything and answered any questions we had and even let our teens pet their horses which were lovely. All in all undoubtedly one of the best stay cations we've ever had! Can't wait to rebook! Kim

Rebecca

We have just returned from a lovely week in this cottage. The property was spotless and very cozy, and the owners really have thought of everything we might need milk and tea bags on arrival and dressing gowns being provided was a nice touch! The pool area is brilliant, so nice to have exclusive access, not something that is easy to find. Owners are very friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Thank you so much, we will definitely be returning!

The property was spotlessly clean and the facilities provided were first class. The pool and hot tub were fantastic and the provision of bath robes was a very thoughtful addition. Sean and Val were excellent hosts and went above and beyond what is normal for a rented property. We intend to return.

Tracey

Val and Sean were very welcoming the property was very clean and comfortable ... Val and Sean were very welcoming the property was very clean and comfortable there was everything you needed from tea coffee and milk and sugar I would recommend fernleigh Villa to anyone and I am looking forward to my next visit
