What a fabulous night out! Friendly and helpful service. Very very tasty food. Cozy restaurant space with a fire going. Can highly recommend this

The atmosphere is amazing, friendly staff and spacious rooms. The surroundings have a relaxing one with nature feeling which is very peaceful. Its a pity there are no phones in the rooms to call reception, the menu is lacking variety, especially vegetarian options. Rooms have a rustic feel which is very comfortable but can do with a few modern creature comforts that dont detach from the overall experience like modern bathroom equipment

Our Saturday mornings start here,after a beast 60km up to Nottingham road,we indulge in a fabulous English breakfast.

What a lovely quaint historic hotel loved back to life, We were pleasantly surprised by The Snooty Fox restaurant as well, Such wonderful creative and tasty Vegan options, Breath of fresh air. Thank you for putting in the effort to make such available. We will definitely be back again 🌱

A beautiful, quaint hotel. It reminded me of the charming English country side. We were passing through and had dinner here. The food was absolutely amazing. We had the slow cooked lamb shank and the fresh water trout...divine!!!! The staff were extremely welcoming and pleasant. We will definitely be visiting again!

Great food, worth the drive to experience the trainee chefs put their own touches to the food. Bonus is that you can take your dog with you.🙂

Hospitality and staff very good. Rooms lovely. Food well presented. As a conference venue ticks all the boxes. Costs very fair.

An amazing place for friends an family. The food is amazing and really well cooked, the plates are hot and the service is good. Drink prices are a little steep but otherwise good. We had an issue with our bill, drinks were added on that we didn’t order but they quickly sorted that out.

The famously Fern Hill Hotel, which has stood the test of time, not only pushing world class chefs into the world with it Chefs training institution, but also nails one exceptional dinning venue. Covid-19 has taken its toll and unfortunately the place is almost empty. Please support this magical place with its esthetically pleasing deco, well trained staff and all round wonderful experience. The food was so tasty, ill be heading back for more.

Awesome setting, fantastic friendly staff

Absolutely outstanding.The Ramblers Hiking Club celebrated their 100th anniversary at Fernhill this afternoon.The spread for the high tea was abundant and most delicious.Many thanks to Pat and her team for the pleasant afternoon.Definitely an afternoon to remember.

Have to give the restaurant a try, damn good foods! The gourmet sandwiches are to die for!🤩

Disappointing service. Couldnt get our booking done online because it wouldnt allow us to alter 1 adult to 2 adults. Contacted reception yesterday via phone and email for assistance with the booking. 36 hours later we still dont have a booking, so we have taken our business elsewhere.

It has fantastic facilities, 🍺 were cold but there was no atmosphere, probably due to restrictions.

Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at the Snooty Fox. We will definitely be back often

Fern Hill Hotel a gem hidden away in the country. I throughly enjoyed my stay loved walking throu the garden taking many photos of such beauty. Thank you to Lulu for the warm welcome I received & Patience for your help you are both 🌟 🌟s in my eyes.

Absolutely amazing food and great service. I have travelled most of Europe and I can honestly say this is a great restaurant. If you looking for a quiet place that focuses on service, good food and a fire place atmosphere, this is it... There is no hurry here, it is small, cosy and you can easily spend a few hours there catching up with friends.Side note, they also have some great vegan options.

Its nice

Traveled here on Monday the 23rd of November 2020. My boyfriend and I enjoyed a delicious morning snack ahead of our meander trip. I highly recommend the pumpkin soup. Its the first time in 12 years I visit Fernhill and honestly as a home feeling.

Very friendly and helpful. Had to make a stop on a long walk.

A nice hotel for a stop over

Delicious vegan green pasta and MASSIVE vegan burger! Excellent service. Just a pity the vegan pavlova was not available.

My family have been stopping at this hotel for the past 10years. Its always a short stop over for us, but we have never had any problems. The staff went out of their way to make me comfortable.

Great food, great atmosphere, super nice staff!!

Excellent food

Awesome food, friendly staff.

Great vegan /vegetarian options at the SnootyFox restaurant. Pleasant surroundings in the Midlands.

Visited the Snooty Fox restaurant. All four meals were delicious. Probably the widest variety of vegan and vegetarian foods I have seen this week.

Neat and well maintained interior. Dinner for 8 guests was very disappointing. Food quality was poor especially the fish, with second attempt no better. Pork belly awful, sent back. Curries ranged from average to goid. Service slow and staff not very helpful. Will not recommend!

Fresh air, great food. What more do you want🙂

Stunning. Beautiful gardens, great food (my father was extremely impressed with his burger) and very polite staff.

Lovely restaurant, The Snooty Fox, inside Fern Hill hotel in Howick (opposite Midmar dam). Great service, fire place, AWESOME food! Loved it!!

Food is always good. Service - not always. I waited almost an hr for my meal.

This is a beautiful historic hotel with beautiful gardens, fantastic staff and delicious food. The service has to be right up there with the best there is regardless of price. Well done on an overall brilliant experience.

Food was cold and the dish I chose didnt have the ingredients, so I had to substitute.. Expensive for what it was.

Well done to everyone at Fernhill for being so accommodating and the excellent service at our FWI Congress. Hope from now the hotel will grow from strength to strength👏👏🙏😘Noleen Walker

Friendly service and good food. Watch out for the masqitos though

Absolutely wonderful....staff amazing very helpful courtesy......food excellent as always .well done Fern Hill Hotel

Nice restaurant it looks like to back in 1980. Good food but their portion are big. Professional service.

Lovely semi countryside hotel. Great for Sunday lunches and meeting venue. The service is unfortunately not as great as it used to be, therefore only 3 stars.

Amazing meal and service

The Snooty Fox restaurant at Fern Hill Hotel is fantastic! They have the most amazing vegan menu and so many options to choose from. We will definitely be going back.

Needs modern touches

Excellent food and great wine list 😊

Great venue , fantastic menu and Brilliant Management. It was great to celebrate with all our Burmester German family. Huge salute to the Chef, the food was incredible.

This is a nice quiet place situated in the exquisite site with lush green garden. Its an ideal venue for weeding or a party. Particularly if you do not want uninvited guests. The food was ok but the dessert was really delicious.

The service is very good and the ambience is great

Excellent service and great food

Every aspect of the evening was perfect. Food tasted sublime. Presentation of each dish was perfect and the staff were exceedingly attentive. Thank you very much x

Great food! Great atmosphere! Fancy and delicious food! Staff are very friendly and go out their way to serve. Pork belly were really awesome! Crispy and delicious! The vanilla creme brûlée was so tasty! Keep up the good service and food!

Classy place

Pleasantly surprised! Charming, peaceful atmosphere. Dinner and breakfast was outstanding! Staff and service excellent.

Friendly and professional

Had a great time here. Service was exceptional. The waiter was one of the best I have ever had anywhere. Genuinely impressed with the service here. Food was great!

I said my I DO in this Hotel in 2013, May 25. The service is still as amazing, friendly staff n perfection of service. Today my Husband birthday breakfast was perfect

We went for their Christmas Eve buffet and the food was excellent. A lovely venue, but the decorations were a touch garish. The staff were most gracious. Just a stones throw from Midmar dam. There was a mix up with the booking - they could be a little more organised.

Great lunch. Pork belly beautifully presented. Cleaned the plate! Good birthday gift from a dear friend. Service very good.

Had the most amazing meal at The Snooty Fox. They also have many vegan options. A night to remember!

Great meals, great value for your money

Staff are very friendly and hospitable. Food was well prepared. They catered well for toddlers and small children. Atmosphere was great. Ambience was great.

Highly recommend the Sunday buffet, it was fantastic! The food was amazing, and incredible staff and service. A beautiful place too!

What a wonderful venue and awesome roast lunch. Good portions and absolutely delicious

Positive environment and excellent service.

Exceptional food. Charming staff. Delightful decor.

Excellent Restaurant Awesome professional and friendly staff. We would most definitely recommend this place any time! Well done! Keep up the great work.

I had a really great time,the service was very good and the staff was very friendly

Terribly hot on the deck. One fan facing to another table. Food excellent. Service a bit slow but they are trainees.

Excellent venue, excellent service from the staff, wonderful meals prepared and presented on the table, excellent value for your money and ample parking space

Average accommodation but a fantastic restaurant makes this a place to visit. Rooms were clean and acceptable but bathrooms lacked a bit. The presence of the fine dining school at the restaurant sees some of the best food being presented by a great staff. Best pork belly I ever had.

Floral & Tranquil Setting.Rustic & Beautifully Comfortable. Friendly Staff & Healthy Food .Close to the Famous Mandela Capture Site Museum & Artworks .

Food and service top drawer

Everything is so superb. The reception is excellent theyre doing a very good job.

Great food and friendly service

Always love the food and atmosphere at Fern Hill. Great for an evening out at the Snooty Fox restaurant.

SERVICE , food and atmosphere, were all amazing, can highly recommend it

It is ALWAYS a treat to stay at Fern Hill Hotel. The food is good and servings are generous. Baked goods and snacks served at tea time are exccelent. Rooms are very clean and comfortable but need a little bit of an upgrade. Lovely staff and friendly service!

Great place to have a function.Delicious food and friendly staff.I really had an amazing time.

Astonishingly good service! The most friendly, helpful staff that go out the way to make the stay more pleasant. The rooms are very comfortable. All in all, I highly recommend Firn Hill.

Fantastic place to stay. Very helpful and friendly staff who make your stay a pleasure. Hope to be back soon.

Good ambience but the food wasnt worth the very high price for my fish. The waitress took offense at the complaint about the sole when it was undercooked and smelt fishy at R350! The other two meals were mediocre.

Stopped over for lunch. Staff was most accommodating. Great coffee milkshakes. Nice setting.

Delicious food.... never leave disappointed.A very homely feel.

Beautiful setting, big fireplace friendly service. Lovely food

Had fun. Its gorgeous, peaceful and really recommend it

The Snooty Fox is a place very dear to my heart. I’ve had such lovely memories of this charming restaurant ever since I was a child! 😊 They have really kept up with the times as well; now including a vegan menu.It was a lovely experience, although my chocolate sphere didn’t melt, the food was exquisite.The steaks were phenomenal and the pasta was so generous with fresh prawns!Was great to treat my parents and I’m excited to come back to try the other alluring items on the menu!

Lovely place to ready ourselves for a wedding function up the road.

Food was saltless,,, we had our supper @8 en some of us are nt allowed to eat after 8,we didt have rooms to sleep they too us to hilton hitel so now we have to sleep someway else

Cheese cake good. Not really the place to go for tea and cake. Cakes come when tea/coffee finished. Especially on a cold day

Lovely ambience. Great room. All round good experience!

Nelson Mandela also slept at the Presidendial Suite. Its not far from Midmar DamThey are Eager to help. The bed sheets are crisp and white. The breakfast is buffet type.The ambiance is great

Nice spot. Didnt like the long, heavy velvet-like tablecloths. Service good. Food has some way to go. Partners brinjal/aubergine lasagna pretty tasteless. Other meals very average. Portion sizes too big.

Lovely venue. Excellent food and service.

Lovely little hotel with easy access to Midlands meander attractions. Beautiful room. Kind staff. Excellent restaurant.

Phenomenal Christmas meal, amazing service, will definitely be back!

Excellent. Highly recommended. Outstanding service! Thank you.

Warm and homely atmosphere. Great curry specials on Friday nights, including veg options. Vegan page in the menu and delicious vegan version of creme brulee for dessert.

Wow it was wonderful there staff were very friendly and helpful during my 1week stay there. Always made sure I was seen to and had enough food to eat.

Happy birthday to you my friend Nonje and thanku so much for the invention. It was really great seeing you and friends I habd not seen in a while. I really my self.Thanku to invouge for great service and accommodating us.

Old school with a touch of modern! Absolutely exquisite! The staff and their service (and the RATE at which they did things) was astounding. Always helpful, always with a smile. We had a few problems with the sound system. But i am not sure whether they got people in from outside... Ie not sure who was responsible for it.

Absolutely perfect. Magnificent staff service, absolutely peaceful atmosphere...
