    We had a really enjoyable stay this New Year at Ferndale Lodge. We had a dog friendly room; it was separate from the main house and had its own entrance …perfect for pet owners. The room was compact, clean, and had everything you would need . The bed was really comfortable and the bathroom was absolutely fine. Our stay was fantastic value, and a wonderful location too.
