The Old Dairy was a fantastic base to visit the entire Island.. The owner could not do more for us and made us feel very welcome. We had a very relaxing and peaceful holiday and will definitely be returning.

Jenny, the owner, was very welcoming and very friendly.. Loved the welcome pack, it was much appreciated. Very comfortable cottage, a real home from home with everything that you needed. Would highly recommend the Old Diary to anyone.

Very nice cottage in marvellous location.. Ideal for lively dogs as there are lots of footpaths directly outside the cottage. We were lucky to be there on one of the hottest weeks of the year There is so much to see and do on the island we were out every day with the dog. Small niggles which are meant to be constructive - I would have expected a double bed but there were two singles; shower pressure was very low - a power-shower would have been welcome after a day’s walking, and WiFi only accessible in the sitting room (a cheap extender would fix that). None of these minor points would stop me returning nor highly recommending this property. The owner is a very nice and approachable lady - Thank you Jenny!

The owner Jenny Downer, went out of her way to make our stay the most comfortable and pleasuresable, oh and the most memorable stay we have ever had on the Isle of Wight, all the time we have been going on and off since 1984.. We shall be booking The Old Dairy again next year, once again I can not emphasise your part in this and the Owner of the cottage and to be honest, we will not stop anywhere else on the Island except The Old Dairy.
