“The host was very helpful when I contacted him and warmly welcomed us when we arrived.”

The cottage is comfortable and well equipped. The high point is the location at the centre of the Island, which makes It easy to travel to every part of the Island

Dr Minas September 2020

“Well-appointed cottage in safe and tranquil setting.”

Close to Newport but also to numerous walking trails. Friendly and helpful manager. Would gladly visit again.

Mr Dewing September 2020

“Having stayed in multiple locations across the planet, I can honestly say that Dairy Cottage ranks as the most tranquil to date.”

Indeed, the loudest sounds were the bees buzzing in the lavender and the wind blowing in the corn field. The cottage itself is sizeable with all the facilities you might need and was cleaned to a very high standard. We really loved our stay here and will certainly return.

Mrs Willis August 2019

“We had a wonderful time at Dairy Cottage!”

It's central location makes it an ideal base for exploring the island. We were greeted upon arrival by the owners, who were very friendly and accommodating. The surrounding area was incredibly peaceful and the cottage itself was small but well-equipped. The private patio outside was the perfect size for us, and I loved that it was gated so our children could play out there safely. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dairy Cottage and highly recommend it.

Mr Sorrell June 2019

“Cottage was in lovely location.”

Very quiet and central for what we wanted to do. Our host was on hand for any needs we had. The cottage was very clean and came well equipped. Only downside was bedroom 2 had 2 very small single beds, and tv kept losing signal.

- Mr Sorrell, June 2019

Mr Jessop March 2019

“Absolutely loved the place.”

the quietness, the views, the real homeliness. perfect

Mr Hallett November 2018

“We were met by the owner who showed us around.”

The underfloor heating and 2 foot thick walls ensured that the property was comfortlably warm. Although on a farm the site was very quiet and the surrounds well maintained. A trackway to the rear led up to the downs which would be loved by walkers. Recommended.

- Mr Hallett, November 2018
Mrs Walker September 2018

“Very quiet and comfortable cottage.”

The owner had obviously put a lot of effort into the conversion. He was very helpful on arrival, showing us round the cottage. As the location is central, every part of the island is accessible. Walking is available from the door, otherwise a vehicle is a necessity. Good internet connection.

- Mrs Walker, September 2018
Mr Ashby September 2018

“A home from home cottage.”

Had tea, coffee, sugar and milk waiting for us, towels provided too. In center of island so in easy reach of all locations. We could have done with a softer mattress, but another than that, we would go again.

- Mrs Webb, October 2016
Mr Falvey August 2016

“The cottage was well stocked.”

It was such a nice surprise to find washing up liquid, washing powder, milk and soap in both bathrooms. The cottage was in a beautiful,peaceful position. I would definetly recommend this cottage. The only thing missing was an outdoor swimming pool and some farm animals!

- Mr Falvey, August 2016

By some mystery, the sitting room was always comfortably warm and the bedrooms comfortably cooler! The beds, power shower and bath were lovely.

- Mr Woolhouse, May 2015
