Thank you to the enthusiastic and friendly staff! Farringford

The current owner has restored this house exceptionally well. The atmosphere is preserved so well its a time capsule that needs little imagination to appreciate the life of Tennyson and the family. It reflects his desire to be somewhat isolated from the fame and adulation of his "fans " . Seeking peace and privacy to undertake his craft. Tha guides are knowledgeable and to hand. The audio tour adds so much more. For the less mobile there are several steps and a flight of stairs to negotiate but guides were available to help. A good experience and the grounds and gardens can be enjoyed at leisure. Parking couldn't be easier.

What a wonderful experience. The house is amazing and fascinating. But absolutely top marks to the lovely staff. It was a boiling hot day and they did everything they could to alleviate this. Fans, water to drink.... But so knowledgeable and friendly. One of the best I've visited in this respect. Well done all.

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.

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.
