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 who have been with us for a few weeks now. We enjoy walking our black labrador Fred, 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 to our annexes. You will see us about from time to time. However, Woodpeckers and The Squirrels have their own entrance parking and patio area. We hope you enjoy your stay. Thank you, Debbie . Keysafe available
