6 of us (3 couples) stayed at Dairy Barn for the Isle of Wight festival. The house was lovely and exactly as advertised. Well equipped throughout, we were very appreciative of the welcome goodies and Sally's excellent communication before and during our stay. We would definitely stay again and would highly recommend to others.
One of the best properties I have stayed in. Very well equipped, Sally was very good at communicating and property was quiet but very well placed to go places.
This is a lovely house, very well equipped and comfortable. A great location to explore the whole Island. We really enjoyed our stay, and would highly recommend this property
Dairy Barn lived up to all the good reviews. Very comfortable with every possible thing you could need. It's in a great corner of the Island too, with superb walking from the door but lots of other attractions in easy reach. Very peaceful, and we will certainly hope to return.
A beautiful,spacious and very well equipped house .
Sally was very helpful during the booking process and left a delicious basket of treats. Many thanks.
This large, comfortable house has everything you need. Sally the property manager
gave us a warm welcome and was at hand if we had any questions.
The weather was very mixed during our stay but there is so much to see and do close
at hand.
We would thoroughly recommend staying here.
Beautiful house just south of Wroxall village on a farm. The house is really comfortable and spacious, with room to relax, spotless living areas, bedrooms and bayhrooms, and a fabulous well equipped kitchen.
We were welcomed by a hamper of local produce, which was much appreciated, and we found everything one could want in the houseto make our stay a success.
Locally we were close to Ventnor, and the road south around the coast which was very scenic.
We visited the Garlic farm, vineyard, and Quarr Abbeyas well as the Needles area, although the weather was too stormy to enjoy it properly!
The grassy area opposite the house looks perfect for hot days, and the courtyard outside was also great for informal lunch or drinks.
Sally and co. have made us very welcome. We loved staying at the Dairy barn, and would highly recommend it.
I wish we could have stayed longer. Three days was not enough. The Dairy Barn was just amazing. Comfortable, close to areas we wanted to explore and so peaceful. We had evening and morning birdsong to lull us to sleep and to wake. There were wonderful paths to follow and explore, beautiful sunsets from the top of the pasture.
Sally and Michael were so kind, leaving a perfect welcome basket. If I could give 10 stars I would. We hope to be back to the Isle of Wight and we will definitely stay again.
Thanks for a delightful stay. The Dairy Barn is in a lovely location, beneath Wroxall Down. The property is spacious and very well equipped. Sally the property manager was very helpful. The property is in a very quiet rural location, but is still convenient for Ventnor and everywhere on the island. There are good walks on the Downs starting from the house. Ross, the farm manager, took us for a very interesting tour around the farm where we admired the herd of Aberdeen Angus cattle. And the weather was warm and sunny.
We had a brilliant week staying at the Dairy Barn, which was gorgeous in every way; with a selection of yummies and drinks as a welcome treat and a fully equipped kitchen where we self catered all week. We used the Barn as a base for exploring this corner of the island on foot and further afield by car. The farm hand showed two of our group around the farm and met some of the cows, which they absolutely loved. It was a brilliant Dairy Barn for a fabulous week.
A lovely, comfy Barn nestling in beautiful countryside, which at the tome of our visit was a mass of daffodils and primroses. Complete with real Easter bunnies in the spacious adjacent garden. Perfect for an Easter egg hunt. Thanks once again to the DairyBarn
Perfect spot to spend a few days in wonderful peace and quiet. Everything you could ever need has been thought of even down to torches at the bedside (it is a rural farm after all) Quality fixtures and furnishings throughout with the kitchen a particular call out. A welcome pack greets you at the door with Sally and Ross on hand for any help you might need.
We had an excellent stay, the house is beautiful and in a very peaceful location. I cannot think how this holiday home could be any better, we loved our week here and wanted for nothing. The house is finished to a very high standard and has everything you will need for an amazing stay. Enjoy!
Our x2 17 year olds and 13 yr old gave this holiday the thumbs up - they are harsh critics!
Everyone who facilitated our stay made it very straightforward - booking/setting up the cottage for our family, dropping into say hi on arrival, available if required - thanks Sally. Friendly introduction and chat with owners - thanks. Great neighbours with an interest in showing us over the farm - thanks both at the Hay Loft.
Quiet but not isolated. Private, spacious, and well equip with quality products (not tired or rent weary). Close to all activities/beaches.
A real delight. You really wonât be disappointed if you settle on dairy barn for your stay. Enjoy.
Where do we start... from the moment we arrived to the moment we left we couldn't fault the property. It was so clean, extremely well equipped with everything you could possibly need and spacious yet with a cosy feeling. The garden and surrounding areas were stunning. Sally the host was so friendly and we really appreciated her prompt communication. Lovely touch with the welcome hamper of local produce! Will definitely be back đ
We had a fabulous break at the Dairy Barn. It suited us completely. We were three couples in our early sixties. The three double bedrooms all en-suite were ideal plus the downstairs cloakroom. Super king sized beds in two rooms and a king in the third again was perfect. Beds were comfortable and the bed linens all top quality- my duvet was 100% white duck down and couldnât have been better. Pillows too in excellent condition. Mattresses and pillows were all spotless. The quality of the furniture, soft furnishings and appliances were all really high and in perfect order. This felt like my home and nothing like a holiday rental fitted out for profit.
The kitchen was so well stocked and equipped. I anticipated that there would be the usual few bits of dishwasher supplies and perhaps salt and pepper but there were all the basic stock items and plenty of them. Tea, coffee, sugar, cooking oil, foil, cling film, all the rubbish sacks required and much else as well as a beautiful gift box with local wine, bread, cheese, butter, biscuits, jam etc.
Sally, the manager, was delightful so helpful and informative and friendly but never intrusive although obviously willing to be contacted at any time.
Ross, the farm manager, and Phoebe next door were equally good. Ross arranged an off road tour to see the downs and the land that was breathtaking.
There was a lovely garden but also a comfy patio area just outside the kitchen door with tables and chairs and parasol. There was a barbecue available even supplied with charcoal.
It is difficult to criticise anything but just so I can discourage some of you from booking this place solid so that I can get a chance to go again, I will nitpick two things. The lavatories in the en-suites are a little bit too close to the towel rails which could be more of an issue when they are on in cooler weather. Secondly there is only one pub/restaurant close enough for a stroll and it is mediocre at best. However there are other lovely places to eat not too far away.
The Dairy Barn and all involved in its running throughly deserve the 5* rating. Excellent value for money.
Lovely cottage with plenty of room for the 6 of us. Sally is very friendly and helpful as Property Manager & Ross the Farm Manager was simply great at offering an insight into the workings of the farm. Greetings to Michael & family as owners of such a lovely property.
