About this house rental

*** VisitEngland ROSE Award winner 2023 ***

The ROSE (Recognition of Service Excellence) Award celebrates and champions the accommodation businesses across England who go above and beyond to provide excellent customer service, irrespective of their star rating or type of accommodation. Only 100 awards given yearly.

Dairy Barn is a luxury 5* Gold Award 3-bedroom barn conversion in an idyllic rural setting within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (ANOB). A perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy the surrounding beauty of St Martin's Down, South Down and Wroxall Down and their associated flora and fauna.

Dairy Barn was built in the 1800s of traditional stone as a dairy parlour but was tastefully converted to a holiday unit in 2005 and since when it has been maintained to a very high standard. With a fully equipped kitchen, sunny lounge, separate dining room and 3 en-suite bedrooms all with King size beds on the first floor, it has everything you will possibly need to relax and enjoy your stay in comfort.

Dairy Barn is located on a 950-acre Aberdeen Angus working farm well known for its conservation both nationally and internationally. Miles of public rights of way criss-cross the all-grassland farm or within a few yards of the property from which you can explore the local countryside on foot or by bike and enjoy the magnificent landscapes the Island has to offer.

Although "hidden away" in such an idyllic and rural location, it is only a short drive away from the popular seaside resorts of Ventnor, Shanklin and Sandown and the many other attractions the Island has to offer.

THE PROPERTY IS ON A WORKING FARM, SO UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE UNABLE ACCEPT CHILDREN UNDER 12 (except babes in arms). It is also not suitable for wheelchair users or people with mobility issues as the bedrooms are all located on the first floor via a stair case with no lift. Please contact our Property Manager, Sally Richards, for further details, or to request a copy of our Access Statement.

Lovely well appointed house with generous welcome hamper filled with local foods and drink. Soaps and shampoos etc in the bathrooms and cloakroom. Lots to see and do in the local area and our host was superb, communicating well and greeting us the first evening to show us the ropes. A wonderful stay in all respects.

6 of us (3 couples) stayed at Dairy Barn for the Isle of Wight festival. The house was lovely and exactly as advertised. Well equipped throughout, we were very appreciative of the welcome goodies and Sally's excellent communication before and during our stay. We would definitely stay again and would highly recommend to others.

Beautiful house just south of Wroxall village on a farm. The house is really comfortable and spacious, with room to relax, spotless living areas, bedrooms and bayhrooms, and a fabulous well equipped kitchen. We were welcomed by a hamper of local produce, which was much appreciated, and we found everything one could want in the houseto make our stay a success. Locally we were close to Ventnor, and the road south around the coast which was very scenic. We visited the Garlic farm, vineyard, and Quarr Abbeyas well as the Needles area, although the weather was too stormy to enjoy it properly! The grassy area opposite the house looks perfect for hot days, and the courtyard outside was also great for informal lunch or drinks. Sally and co. have made us very welcome. We loved staying at the Dairy barn, and would highly recommend it.

We had a brilliant week staying at the Dairy Barn, which was gorgeous in every way; with a selection of yummies and drinks as a welcome treat and a fully equipped kitchen where we self catered all week. We used the Barn as a base for exploring this corner of the island on foot and further afield by car. The farm hand showed two of our group around the farm and met some of the cows, which they absolutely loved. It was a brilliant Dairy Barn for a fabulous week.
