Valentine’s Treats

Okay so Valentine’s Day is an excuse for Greetings Card companies to sell more stock, but its also the perfect excuse to show your loved one you care.  In this busy world sometimes it is those closest to us who are forgotten when we are busy, stressed or just over-worked, so why not take the Valentine opportunity to take some time out with the person you love, and remind them how much you love them?

We have lots of ways to say ‘I Love you’ from our Valentine’s Menu available from 10th – 18th Feb.  We also offer a Valentine Package for 1 or 2 nights on the 2 weekends around the 14th, so you can enjoy some serious time together and be truly taken care of http://www.fernhill-hotel.co.uk/offers.php

For a weekend which tells your Valentine just how much you care we include our Valentine menu for one night and Dinner in our a la carte menu on the second night – tea & cake on arrival to begin the unwind process, and homemade biscuits, massage oil and a Red Rose in your room.  We have organised walks and places to visit so you don’t even need to plan how to fill your days!  And with an extensive DVD library you could always relax in your beautifully appointed room and forget about the ‘Real world’ for 48hours…

Book a Table or a Stay with us today – and remind yourselves how beautiful love is!

A relaxing Christmas at Fernhill Hotel

Christmas is a fantastic time of year, perhaps the only one where friends and family all get together to catch up, share stories and indulge. Although many of us are lucky enough to get time off work over the festive period, that’s not to say we always get the chance to relax.

But if you’re tired of cooking and entertaining this year, then why not think about letting us do the hard work for you and enjoy a drink and a bite to eat at either our Restaurant or Café Bar?

Open both Christmas Eve and Boxing Day, you and your friends and/or family are welcome to spend a relaxing afternoon or evening at Fernhill Hotel. Unlike many hotels and restaurants open over Christmas, we don’t force you to have an entire 3-course meal. So if you want to pop in to share a bottle of wine and a plate of festive cheese and biscuits, then you can!

We do still of course have our full a la carte and Bar & Grill menus on over Christmas, so whether you want to enjoy a romantic meal or simply a relaxing, non-Christmassy gathering with your friends, then there’s still a range of delicious starters, mains and desserts to choose from.

If you’re bored of mince pies and sick of the mother-in-law’s sherry trifle, then you’ll be pleased to hear that our menu is free from Christmas clichés. Instead our focus, as ever, is on locally sourced ingredients and dishes that represent all that is British.

Our location to the coast means that we offer the freshest seafood, with Dorset also known for its meats, especially beef. With plenty of vegetarian options too, we ensure we cater for all our guest’s preferences, even if it is just those wanting to get away from the mountains of turkey sandwiches!

So why not give the best gift of all this Christmas by hanging up the oven gloves for a day and enjoying a stress-free meal in our hotel Restaurant or Café Bar.

presents under the tree

And…Relax

The Christmas Countdown has well and truly begun with supermarkets stocking Christmas favourites for what feels like at least 3 months and TV adverts reminding you to buy buy buy to make your loved ones happy.

But whether you’re religious or not, Christmas should be more than rampant consumerism and ‘presents’. 

Especially in these times of Austerity the ‘Spend Spend Spend’ mantra of years gone by is, we hope, becoming obselete as people realise its the less materialistic things which make you happy. 

Time is a precious commodity and spending time with loved ones should be cherished.  Whether that is taking a day off to spend with your child ‘just because’ or meeting up with your nearest and dearest to create happy memories to cherish forever – there is a lot to be said for creating memorable events and enjoying relaxation and laughter with those people who mean the most to you.

This year at Fernhill we have had a lot more group bookings of friends as well as families who are taking time out together to just enjoy each others’ company.

Some have celebrated Golden Wedding Anniversaries or Special birthdays with up to 4 generations – making the most of precious time with older generations.  Others have met up with friends for a weekend packed with sailing, walking and a night at River Cottage HQ. The main theme through all of these groups has been relaxation and laughter, and making the most of precious time out from the stresses of day-to-day living.

At Fernhill we aim to take the stress out of every stay – organising Taxis, Restaurant bookings, boat trips and birthday cakes.  So that precious time off can be enjoyed to the maximum, and relaxation is the end result. 

Imagine a couple of days with the people you love, doing the things you enjoy – all organised for you?!

Group Bookings taking the whole hotel out of season enjoy a discount and the added benefit that the whole hotel is private, just for you and your friends/family.  Why not organise some happy memories with your loved ones now? 

And….Relax.
