- CChris Lynch11/11/2024A special day that was made even more specialA special day that was made even more specialOur daughter had her wedding at Fernhill House, July 24. Throughout our entire stay, everyone from the event organiser, the reception team, the housekeepers, the front of house staff to the night porters, each and every one of them were smiling, friendly and determined to make it the most enjoyable experience possible for us all. No request was too big or too small for them. As for the kitchen team, OMG, everything they produced looked and tasted absolutely fabulous. Many thanks from all of us.Our daughter had her wedding at Fernhill House, July 24.

- MMarian11/11/2024Best Wedding Ever!Best Wedding Ever!To say they went above and beyond is an understatement. All of our friends and family were so complimentary on everything, from the wonderful food, stunning surroundings, and the exceptional service provided by every member of staff. Laura who looked after us on the day is outstanding , Sinead and Valda were always so incredibly helpful on reception and Michael the night porter/bar man went above and beyond to provide help, and even gave us a few well sang songs at the end of the night.

- LLisa11/11/2024Could not recommend enough!Could not recommend enough!Where do I even begin. We had our wedding in Fernhill May this year. The wedding coordinator Ann is an absolute gem, any question or anything I needed in the run up to the big day was never too big or small. The team at Fernhill could not have done enough for us and on the day of the wedding everything ran so well and we were made to feel completely at ease.

- KKieran11/11/2024PerfectionPerfectionMy son & daughter in law had their wedding reception recently at Fernhill and I have to say of all the weddings I have attended, I have never seen such professionalism, attention to detail, cleanliness or comfort for any wedding reception anywhere. The food could only be described as perfection. I honestly could not find fault anywhere either for the reception or breakfast the following day. Speaking to other guests they were also of the same opinion. A sincere thank you to all the staff.My son & daughter in law had their wedding reception recently at Fernhill and I have to say of all the weddings I have attended, I have never seen such professionalism, attention to detail, cleanliness or comfort for any wedding reception anywhere.

- CCiara & Damien11/11/2024Amazing Wedding VenueAmazing Wedding VenueFrom start to finish, everything was perfect! The staff, decor, food, drinks reception (the list goes on) was just incredible. I had heard great things about Fernhill before the day and it certainly lived up to if not surpassed all expectations. This hotel is exceptional and has something special that most other hotels don't have. Also the personal service that we received from Ann was second to none, not to mind mentioning being greeted at the front door, by the owner Michael. From start to finish, everything was perfect!
