Brilliant Week
August 2023
WWhat a brilliant week in a fabulous property. We had everything we could want and loved the space and quiet surroundings. A very generous welcome pack and clear instructions. We know the Island well, but not this particular corner so much. We enjoyed walking up to the radar station in the evenings and to Godshill from the front door. The Taverners at Godshill serves good food. The coast path from Ventnor to St lawrence- spectacular. We’ll be back!!
Homely & comfortable

10 Fabulous Nights
1st July 2023
Stayed 10 fabulous nights,everything there we needed and more,would highly recommend.
If I could give 10 stars I would
8th-11th June
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.
Loved the Barn
8-11th June
Loved the barn- so cosy and a good quiet nights sleep, we needed after a month away from home. We won’t make it back this way but only in our dreams. Thanks for your hospitality.

A wonderful breath of fresh country air

Lovely House
July/August 2022
LOvely House, very well equipped, had a wonderful time here. Thanks Sally & Ross for your time, you made us feel very welcome. Definitely reccommend to all.
Perfect Holiday
October 2022
I thought I would write to you to say a big thank you for everything that you did to make our visit the most wonderful experience it could be. As well as being my wife’s birthday it was also the first occasion for a long time to have all the family together for a holiday.
The barn was not like the normal self-catering properties we have visited, it was more like a home from home with everything you could think of provided. It must take a lot of hard work and hours of your time to make the place a home rather than just a holiday let.
Once again thank you for all your hard work. You made it a perfect holiday for us all and one we will remember for ever.
All the very best for Christmas and the New Year. We hope to see you again in 2023.
A real home from home
September 2022
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
Perfect hideaway with everything thought of
June 2022
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.
Great stay
June 2022
Great stay. From booking this property to booking out it was amazing in all aspects.
Great week at the Dairy Barn
May 2022
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.
Fabulous Stay

Home away from home
26h July 2021
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 couldn’t 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.
Outstanding holiday experience
16th July 2021
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.

Wonderful Barn
31-08-2020
The Dairy Barn is a lovely and well-appointed cottage in a beautiful and peaceful location.
It has three excellent bedrooms all en suite and with a good-sized lounge, dining room and kitchen.
It is located on a farm down a small road from the main village so there is very little passing traffic which makes it an ideal spot for a quiet family break.
Wroxall itself is a fairly small village but is convenient for both Shanklin and Ventnor.
Great success
New Year 2019
Just a quick note to say how much we enjoyed our time at the Dairy Barn. It
was the most relaxing week for us. The house was really lovely -
beautifully designed and decorated. Sally had made it most welcoming. We
loved seeing around the farm - Ross was so knowledgeable and seems to be
doing a fine job.
The highland cattle were most impressive. We enjoyed many lovely walks and
sea swimming too. All in all a great success,

Great Base to Stay
8-17th June 2019
I just wanted to say how delighted we were with everything; the amenties, the peace & tranquilty, access to lcoal walks and villages and a great base to stay during the 3 day Newport festival. It will always be forever in our hearts too as on the Wednesday night, I chose the beautiful living room setting (whilst listening to remantic music on the supplied Bose) as the place to propose to my partner Ana (happily she accepted). We will return and we hope that Diary Barn and it’s very special location will be forever maintained in the marvellous way it is currently. Thank you and Mr Poland for making such a wonderful place available to holiday makers such as ourselves and for the amzing work he does to support the local wildlife and environment.

14 September 2018
We had a wonderful time exploring theIsle of Wight. Dairy barn was very well situated being located in a quiet country lane and within easy distance of most attractions. The surrounding gardens offered ample opportunity for relaxation. The dinning hall table was excellent for completing one of the several jigsaws that were available. All our needs were exceptionally well catered for, in particular a well equipped kitchen and all bedrooms being en suite. Thank you for a delightful stay.. Highly recommended.
Our Stay at Dairy Barn

It’s a beautifullly furnished and clean residence and they went further by decorrating it.for Christmas and providing a decorated tree too which was so kind as we had all traveled from different parts of the Uk and Japan .Help and Support was at hand very promptly. Created some lovely memories and we can’t thank you enough . We would love to come back in the Summer.

28 July 2017
We had a thoroughly relaxing stay at the Dairy Barn. Slept really well in the comfortable beds and tranquility of the country lane. The children particularly loved the garden. Sally is a very welcoming and helpful manager. It was our first visit to the Isle of Wight - plenty of opportunities for fresh air - walking, cycling and beaches. We will definitely be back again in future.
The Wight Stuff
25 September 2015
he accommodation at Dairy Barn exceeded all our expectations. Clean, well maintained, great customer service from Sally and we would not hesitate to recommend it anyone. A wonderful quiet spot with many attractive walks within easy reach. We were blessed by great weather but I feel sure that we would have enjoyed a wet week just as much in such a beautiful spot. We will be back!!
Delightful property! 5*
10 July 2015
The Dairy Barn is one of the few holiday properties we have stayed in which was as good as the photographs! It is really well designed and equipped and was a pleasure to stay at. While it is in a quiet location it is not cut-off at all. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it.
Delightful, spacious, wonderfully equipped barn 5*
8 May 2015
Dairy Barn is a great place for a holiday. Wonderfully equipped, beautifully clean and very well looked after. It is spacious,warm, light and airy. We much appreciated the large table and padded bench in in the very ample sized kitchen. Much time was spent around it eating, drinking, talking, reading the papers and planning our day. We found the up to date information re local activities very helpful. We appreciated being met by the manager on our arrival and greatly enjoyed the alcoholic ‘Welcome pack’! We would thoroughly recommend this property to friends and family.
Escape to the Country
20 March 2015
Well maintained; superb accommodation; tastefully furnished and decorated; excellent facilities, and everywhere spotlessly clean. Sally Richards, the property manager if required but otherwise we had a free run as though the property was ours. We had one issue with the cooking range (our fault) and when we returned after reporting it, the problem was fixed in our absence. The pedigree cattle on site were fascinating, especially when it came to their bath-time! An amazing place to stay which we could not fault in any way.
Exxcellent holiday accommodation 5*
13 February 2015
We already knew this was a very high quality cottage because we have stayed on two previous occasions. Sally, the manager, is always very welcoming and friendly and the barn is immaculate in terms of cleanliness and quality of furnishings and facilities. It is a good location on the outskirts of Wroxall, near Ventor and on a bus route. We are sorry that it is not considered suitable for children The large garden is across a small road and has a stream on one side and the door of the barn opens into a parking area which is used occasionally by farm vehicles, but these are the only safety issues we can see. We have stayed in the barn as a base for walking holidays including walking round the coastal path using the bus services. it is a very comfortable place to return to after a 20 mile walk. We thoroughly recommend Dairy Barn and expect to return ourselves at sometime.
Lovely weekend 5*
30 September 2011
Immaculate cottage superbly presented. We have enjoyed the peaceful location and the weather has been a bonus.

We’ve really enjoyed our holiday,the location is fabulous- great views over Lucombe down. Dairy barn is so comfortable- we love the kitchen. Many thanks we’d love to come again.
This should have a 6* rating
May 2018
This is a fantastic place to stay. We felt right at home and being visited by the Manager and the owner, they were both very personable and gave us tips on where to visit. We were provided with tea, coffee and milk and what was a bonus was the homemade scones and jam.The property itself felt like it was brand new, because of the freshness, paint and decor. It had that old world charm that you would expect from a farmhouse, but nothing was tired and dated. It was roomy, beds were so comfortable and we had everything you could ask for. We would love to stay there again. I thought it was real value for money. Hearing the cows moo in the morning made you feel glad to see a new day in this fantastic property. We sat every morning and every evening in the courtyard. My only criticism was that there were no sun loungers as sitting on the wooden bench for a while was a bit uncomfortable. I would reccommend this property to all .
Very well equipped, in a lovely rural spot, but not far to go to Ventnor and Shanklin.
July 2018
We have never been to such a well equipped, and well maintained, self-catering property. The only thing missing was a wok, everything else you can think of was provided. The whole property has been completed to a very high standard. It is in a lovely rural setting, on a working farm, mostly Highland cattle.
The converted barn contained just the right accommodation that we were looking for, and we highly recommend it.
2nd visit
5 August 2011
Another lovely holiday our second visit. The cottage is so relaxing and as always it was fab to see the cattle. Thanks to everyone for making us feel so welcome, it almost feels like a second home.

This should have a 6* rating
This is a fantastic place to stay. We felt right at home and being
visited by the Manager and the owner, they were both very personable
and gave us tips on where to visit. We were provided with tea, coffee
and milk and what was a bonus was the homemade scones and jam.The
property itself felt like it was brand new, because of the freshness,
paint and decor. It had that old world charm that you would expect from
a farmhouse, but nothing was tired and dated. It was roomy, beds were
so comfortable and we had everything you could ask for. We would love
to stay there again. I thought it was real value for money. Hearing the
cows moo in the morning made you feel glad to see a new day in this
fantastic property. We sat every morning and every evening in the
courtyard. My only criticism was that there were no sun loungers as
sitting on the wooden bench for a while was a bit uncomfortable. I
would reccommend this property to all .

It's a beautifully furnished and clean residence and they went further
by decorrating it.for Christmas and providing a decorated tree too
which was so kind as we had all traveled from different parts of the Uk
and Japan .Help and Support was at hand very promptly.

Having celebrated my 91st birthday at Dairy Barn, I must say, that it
was my happiest ever. Sorry that I didn't meet you in person Sally but
I must tell you how perfect your " housekeeping " is. We constantly
said....." they have thought of everything"---. During Sunday before
going out for my celebratory meal, I needed to wash some crockery, but
thought about splashing my dress--- wished I had a pinney.... then
thought" they have thought of everything" but surely not a pinney.
There in the cupboard was a brand new pinafore!! You are incredible.
Having spent 20 years on the Island, never before have I found it such a wonderful place to be.
Thank you Sally

Obviously much thought has gone into organising Dairy Barn and this and
its cleanliness, is much appreciated. Also enjoyed the space- would
definately return.
