    The cottage was perfect to relax in peace and quiet after the festival. The garden was a lovely area to sit in. Breakfast at the garlic farm cafe was excellent

    The only 2 small downsides was the mattresses weren't the most comfortable and the hot water was hit and miss when taking a bath ot shower

    A very well converted barn with a modern kitchen and bathroom. Lovely outside seating area in a great area of the island.

    Some redecoration and deep cleaning of the furniture would make this a perfect place to stay.

    The setting was glorious and our cottage was well appointed and very attractive, with a gorgeous secluded garden. The garlic-themed restaurant and shop are wonderful and the grounds are spacious and beautiful. The farm is excellently placed to get anywhere on the island by car. Even though the farm gets very busy during the day, the cottages are quiet as they are tucked away. And before the crowds arrive and after they've gone, it's blissful.

    Absolutely beautiful location and perfect country cottage . So comfortable and cosy . The beds were very comfortable. It’s so nice that you’re happy to stay in the evening and drink a glass of wine and soak up the views . The walks around the farm in the evening were very special and we saw lots of rabbits. The restaurant is gorgeous and does great food. You really couldn’t ask for better

    It was a perfect getaway and the location was just what we wanted especially coming from the mainland where it’s very busy. The property was very inviting and we couldn’t have asked for anything better. We will definitely be booking another trip soon!

    Our stay in the Kiln Cottage at the Garlic Farm was absolutely lovely. It's in a beautiful location in the country. The cottage was gorgeous with everything we needed for our stay. Our son was sailing in Cowes, so the laundry room off the kitchen was so useful for drying wetsuit and towels. We loved the garlic farm pickle and a pint of milk that was left for us. Before going home we bought more pickle in the shop. Communication with the host Melanie was great all through the booking process. We will be returning to Stay at Garlic Farm. We may possibly stay at one of the Yurts next time as they look great.

    A sign on the road directing the accommodation would be handy

    Didn't have breakfast but lunch in the Restaurant was very good; the apartment was very well appointed with everything we needed. Very comfortable, felt like home; it was great to have a sink in the bathroom where you didn't bash your hands on the mixer when washing face or spilling water all over the floor

    Incredible, relaxed and quiet rural location but within good reach of most places. The Mill (the cottage we stayed in) was ideal for our young family (my wife and two daughters <3 years old). Milk, tea, coffee all in situ on arrival (so nice) and the restaurant is exceptionally good for food. Delicious coffee as well.
