First of all – I would like to thank all of our customer and friends of Ferndale for your continued support.
A lot has happened over the last couple of years as we revamped all our guest rooms and added two more to our guest house so that we have now six guest rooms with different standard. The comfort rooms to the back of the house, the premium rooms with high quality interior and the luxury rooms with stunning extras.
This year has been a roller-coaster-ride like no other year before with the building, the changes and running the business as well the recession hitting Ireland badly.
Now late in the season we feel to say a few words about our place.
As many know and have travelled to us because of tripadvisor we are very grateful for all the reviews. Most of them where absolutely brilliant and some of them full of praise but some of the reviews we felt where disappointing. We hope we have a product that appeals to our customers and we
appreciate all suggestions to improve Ferndale. But there is only so much you can do in one year. So with that in mind we leave further improvements for another time so that we have time to reflect and enjoy what we have achieved.
All of Ferndale we are well aware would not been possible without your fantastic support in staying and dining here so for that reason I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. May you have pleasant memories and many returns to Ferndale.
To support my thanks we have made  a special offer for our returning customers: if you have stayed with us this year and have plans to return to Achill we will give you a 10% discount on any deal we have currently on display.
we hope to see you back in Achill and to Ferndale.
kind regards

After a couple of months and a few headaches i finally feel like to tell you all that the extension to our guesthouse is coming close to finish. 2 weeks overdue and very expensive but the finish is astonishing. I hope we soon have pictures of the new themed bedrooms. One of them with fantastic seaview. Our venetian room is a delight and i have to compliment a few companies – most of them in uk – for there effort to make our dream come true. First of all lsb furniture and newquay bonsai for there fantastic work in supplying me with the most fantastic furnitures and lamps, majestic rugs for there forthcoming treatment of our requests, just linen for there quick delivery, sheridan electrics and many more – thank you so much. To all our loyal clients – thank you for your continued support and advise and last but not least to all our dear friends for there encouraging support. Now the summer season and a new approach can start with exciting new creations in food as well as a fantasy stay at ferndale. We hope to welcome many of you to our adventure place in achill.

Kind regards

Good Day dear guests and Friends of Ferndale,

Our story of “Ferndale the new adventure” continues with finishing the bathroom of the roman suite. It came out brilliantly, but it took nearly 5 weeks to complete and way over budget. The result but is stunning. With a size triple to what it was before.

God thanks we finally got the planning permission for our extension. I have to say – not a moment to soon – as we have a tide schedule ahead of us. With themed bedrooms as the ones before. One to be a Venetian Suite. I changed the concept and just seen this stunning bed on a website i could visualize how the finishing suite will look like.

Work starts on Monday and of cause we still have a few surprises in store. I definitely will not tell everything about the suite as i would love to experience the magic it does to our friends far and near and to see their faces when they first will see the finishing product by the end of June – exactly on the 16 of June.

Word of advise: Be very cautious with planning your extension and keep within the boundary of what buildings exist around you. Money in Ireland is still very tide and will remain so for a long time. You can feel it in how the planning authority are reacting and how banks are still behaving. They’ve got this billions of bail out money the next thing they do is raising interest rates to cripple people more. My trust in banks certainly have been compromised and this will remain as long as i live.

But it didn’t lower the excitement to build a fantastic guesthouse not to be seen anywhere in this country. To sort out material and finishing touches as well as to talk about it it feels like explorers in earlier times.

An Adventure to say the least but i keep in touch.

Good Day to all our customers and new arrival to our website.

On this Page we are introducing all exciting news in relation to Ferndale.

This Year 2011 is a mile stone in our history from when we first started our adventure to become one of the most unusual Guesthouses and restaurants in Ireland.

As many of you know about 2 years back we redesigned our guesthouse and themed it to appeal the market with fun and exciting extras. This approach was a great success. It made us thinking of a new adventure to make Ferndale a destination you like to travel to.

And so it begins

for the next couple of months i like to inform you about our Adventure to redesign and extend our Guesthouse to bring it to the next Level.

We already started on the roman room to extend the Bathroom it will be a sanctuary of indulging yourself in the brand new double whirlpool Bath or just relax in this new jewel of a Bathroom.

Hopefully everything will be finished by the 10th of march incl. new lowered bay windows to give you the most of our stunning seaview and air and light into our historically themed Bedrooms.

As from the 10th of march we can hopefully start the brand new extension with sumptuous bedrooms consisting of fabulous views and top of the range interior all designed by myself but that is as soon as we get the approval of the county council or with other words if we get planning permission.

So fingers crossed and with gods help we are on our way to write the next chapter of Ferndale the adventure.

Kind regards

Jon
