“ Self-catering stables stay ”

We stayed in the self catering stables for a 4 night stay. The accommodation is lovely, great size and very clean. The estate is in a perfect location for local attractions and is in the most beautiful spot. The grounds and walled garden are so beautiful, peaceful and full of wildlife. We will definitely be staying here again and would like to thank the staff for a lovely welcome.

“ Beautiful house. ”

Grade 1 listed building set in beautiful gardens. To visit the house and gardens you need to book a slot, a guided tour with either the guide telling you what is what or you can use the device to listen to as you walk around the eleven rooms on show. Truly magnificent rooms on show, sadly you cannot take pictures inside.

Just visited the garden and the park. The walled garden is really loved and fussed, a real pleasure to visit and good value for money.

“ Lovely afternoon visiting ”

Lovely afternoon visiting the grounds, house was closed. Terrific project to bring it back to its original state, with a very interesting display showing how it was achieved. Gardens were amazing. Dog friendly in the gardens.

“ Lovely afternoon ”

Having lived on the Isle of Wight for many years, we had never visited Farringford. We were extremely impressed with the gardens. Everything in the walled garden is very new and extremely well maintained. The woodland walk is about half a mile and easy. The house wasn't open, but we knew this before we visited. However, the restoration exhibition was just amazing. To see how the house has changed over the centuries up to present day was extremely interesting and the present owners have done a fantastic job as far as we could see. What was amazing was the removal of Fred Pontin's holiday cottages and the re-installation of the walled garden. One would never know that all the holiday cottages had been pulled down. This whole thing must've been an incredible project and the owners are to be congratulated.

The lady on the ticket desk was very welcoming and we were very impressed with the laminated garden map instead of a paper leaflet. What a good idea. We really enjoyed our afternoon.
