Testimonials

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.

We stayed in one of the lets on the Farringford Estate, in the old stable block. The let was well appointed, with all that we would need for our stay. It was the home of the Poet Laureate, Alfred Lord Tennyson, and I had a family connection as one of my great uncles worked on the estate, eventually becoming the chauffeur.

Do visit, it's a lovely place to stay and you have the Isle of Wight as your playground!

A well organised tour of Tennyson's house. I learnt a lot about the man, his family and his circle of friends!

Very interesting audio tour of the house with good history and level of information. Note it's best to book in advance as places are limited and at fixed times on only some days and months of the year.

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.

We visited on Wednesday and were taken back by the beautiful restoration of the property and grounds. Well worth a visit.
