Cycle routes across the downs also start nearby.

Had a lovely Christmas break at Dairy Cottage. It had everything we needed & was decorated nicely. The owner left us some Christmas treats which was a lovely surprise. The beds were super comfy, enclosed garden for our dog, great TV channels & beautiful views of the Island.

Dairy Cottage is a house full of character and comfort. We much appreciated the spacious rooms, the homely kitchen and the conservatory leading out into the garden. It was beautifully clean and our stay was very comfortable. There is adequate room for parking and it feels beautifully quiet and secluded.

Dairy Cottage is ideally located in the centre of the Island. We have stayed there twice now, as it has plenty of space for all of us (6 or 6 plus a toddler). Our dog has use of the garden area and the children love to feed the owner's 3 horses with carrots each morning! The cottage is equipped with everything you might need - and more! There's pleRead morenty of parking space and being a light sleeper I love the quiet location at night. We're already looking forward to our next visit. Hide

Central location, and nice upstairs bedrooms. Owner provided info on days out and restaurants. Dog owners may like it but we found it smelt of dogs. Cleanliness not as we would expect, having stayed at many cottages, so we cleaned it ourselves. Downstairs carpets were dirty and sofas saggy and stained.

The cottage was a lovely place to stay but was on a relatively fast road with no pavements which made dog walking a bit of an issue with two dogs.
