I had a pleasant stay at Sterling Fern Hills, which is a large and beautifully designed property. The classic room I stayed in was spacious and had its own garden, creating a nice private atmosphere. The amenities were enjoyable, especially for kids, but I did have a few concerns. Not all rooms offer a valley view, and while I requested one, I didn’t get it. Additionally, some basics like a refrigerator, air conditioning, and even toiletries were missing. Overall, it was a good experience, but there are definitely areas that could be improved.
