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.

Rainy day visit

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!

It's not hard to see why Tennyson was happy here

The house was closed on the day we went - as was the road - but that's another story. The garden and the exhibition telling the story of the restoration are well worth the visit. Very good welcome at the gate, and the walk up through the garden was an absolute pleasure. Hard to imagine that just a few short years ago this area was occupied only by holiday bungalows.

We were delighted that long-lost features of Tennyson's garden have been restored. The fragments of his poetry scattered around the grounds are a reminder of the very special history of this place. The exhibition - well illustrated with documents and photos - brings the house to life. This has clearly been a labour of love for the new owners, who deserve full credit for all they have done in this remarkable project.
