Welcome to Ferndale Holiday Lets. My name is Debbie, and my co-host is Brian. We live at Ferndale and have been living here for 14 years. We enjoy being outside in the garden, and I like pottering in the vegetable garden and tending to my my rescue hens. We enjoy walking our new puppy Doug, whom you will see wandering around the garden. He loves to go out for walks in our local countryside. We look forward to welcoming you. You will see us about from time to time. However, The Squirrels have their own entrance parking and patio area. Please feel free to messsge or text me. Key safe box.
Attached to our house so general family and puppy noise can be heard! The Squirrels is suitable for 2 adults. Swimming Pool is available to use and is shared with us and other guests - Weather Permitting. Brightlingsea beach and Wivenhoe town and University of Essex 10 min drive away. Local pub 5 min walk. Bus service to Wivenhoe and Colchester or Brightlingsea and Clacton on sea. Alresford train station is a 10-minute walk away. Direct service to Colchester and London Liverpool Street. The village of Alresford Essex is a good location for the University of Essex in Wivenhoe. Also close to the coastal town of Brightlingsea.
