Our second visit to the gardens, this time taking friends and four dogs. The walled garden is a lovely start. The grounds look immaculate but unfortunately it was too hot for us to do the full walk again this year. We've not been able to see inside the house and do the tour because we have the dogs with us but maybe next time we're over. The lady on the gate was lovely and my friend had a chat with the original gardener/groundsman, also very nice. No tearoom which is unusual nowadays. Plenty of parking.
Beautiful & interesting. I can see why Tennyson chose this pretty -inspiring place to live!
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.
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.
Beautiful Garden - so much colour for October! Stephanie & Stuart October 2025
Great way to do a tour, very informative without lots of reading. Thank you.
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!
Absolutely loved it - especially the handmade arches. Joy
We visited on Wednesday and were taken back by the beautiful restoration of the property and grounds. Well worth a visit.
The BEST garden on the Island. Absolutely perfect in everyway, super friendly. Katherine, October 2025
This was my favourite historic site during our IoW visit. Despite a windy, rainy afternoon the walled garden was lovely. We booked a tour of the house. The audio guide was surprisingly good, informative with just the right amount of detail.
