"Amazing place to stay."
Fabulous facilities, lovely welcome hamper and efficient and friendly host. Nothing was too much trouble and when the water had to be turned off for an hour, we were given a large jug of ice filtered water. Couldn't have hoped for a better place to stay, best holiday cottage we've ever stayed in.

"A lovely cottage in a beautiful part of the island - ideal if you want a peaceful countryside retreat."
The pretty cottage was very well equiped, very clean and comfortable with plenty of dedicated outdoor space for our dogs to run about. Jenny, the owner, was the perfect host and welcomed us with a basket of goodies. After spending our days exploring the island, it was great to come back to the cottage and relax on the patio with a glass of wine! If you are looking to stay on the Isle of Wight, particularly with doggies, I can highly recommend The Old Dairy.

"The Old Dairy is very well equipped accommodation in a quiet and peaceful rural location."
The host is friendly and helpful and made us feel very welcome. The garden is a lovely size allowing our Springer Spaniel to have a good run and there is ample parking space. There are many walks a short distance from the property and an abundance of wildlife to watch. This was our first visit to the Old Dairy and we found it extremely comfortable and a very relaxing place to be.

"We had a lovely relaxing stay at the Old Dairy."
Lovely property... fantastic location. Ideal for our 2 dogs. The local walks were stunning and so much wild life to see and we actually spotted a red squirrel.. Our plan was never to do the tourist thing and we stayed close to the cottage to chill and relax and we would have been a tad happier if the owner had provided more outdoor facilities such as a table and chairs for outdoor dining and a couple of comfy sun loungers to soak up the gorgeous weather we were lucky to have. Wifi was also a bit iffy for our needs. 2 small gripes but we would come again.

The location is excellent for visiting all parts of the island, and Jenny cannot do enough for you. We were her first visitors after the lockdown and on our second day we realised that there was a fault with the oven, meaning that we were unable to use it. Even though it was a Sunday Jenny and her partner managed to source and fit a new oven in time for our dinner in the evening!

It was in a peaceful area of the island with plenty of walks for yourself or with a pet and not far to reach the coasts or facilities. The host was lovely, obviously very hard working and nothing was too much. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend The Old Dairy cottage which had an expanse of lawn surrounding it and was attached to the owners premises but her property was behind the holiday cottage so it felt like a detached cottage but she was close by if needed. Thank you Jenny had a lovely time.

"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!
