Loved the location. The owners and staff were very friendly and although we weren’t in a lot, when we saw the staff they always asked if everything was ok and did we have everything we needed. The manager Gemma also kindly phoned a taxi for us on the day we left. My daughter loved the pool table!!!

There is guidance on cot availability and the use of existing beds for children, and the overall occupancy is clearly set to accommodate up to five guests. While there is no capacity for extra beds, the hotel’s policies are designed to keep costs predictable while still offering opportunities for little ones to stay nearby their parents. Parking is convenient for guests arriving by car, with private parking available nearby for GBP 7.50 per day, and a reservation is needed. This added flexibility is a real benefit for a town break, making it easier to plan beach days, day trips, and evenings in town without worrying about tedious parking searches. The Ferndale’s location and practical options make it a solid choice for visitors who want to minimize fuss while maximizing time on the promenade and at the beach.
