Testimonials

First visit to Farringford House today (recommended for a rainy day!). We are so impressed by the standard of renovation and decoration and the equally impressive and enthusiastic guides who make it very easy to visualise how this historic house looked in Alfred Lord Tennyson's day. What a transformation from the house's previous incarnation as a hotel!

A beautifully restored piece of history, the staff were lovely and really well informed. Well worth a visit.

It hasn't been open long so looks fresh and new. A lot of work has gone into making the house interesting to visitors and explaining the history. The gardens are beautiful, well laid out and cared for, obviously a labour of love. It's at one end of the island but well worth the drive wherever you are staying.

Visited on Friday – best guides/stewards of anywhere I've been. The whole experience was excellent. I usually avoid headsets like the plague so it was wonderful to be offered a “headset” free machine. The only mild downside was the lack of refreshment facilities – but we survived. Thank you all at your beautiful property.

We have just had our second holiday at Farringford in one of the cottages. The cleanliness and welcoming staff are 5*. We will certainly be back again. Thank you.
