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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

It was central for all parts of the island, very quiet, and with a resident pheasant family nearby. By some mystery, the sitting room was always comfortably warm and the bedrooms comfortably cooler! The beds, power shower and bath were lovely.

This is a great cottage which is centrally located on the island, so is within 30 minutes drive of all of the island tourist spots. Would definitely stay there again.
