This was our third visit to the Farringford Self Catering Holiday Village, and it exceeded my expectations - again. We stayed for two weeks in May, 2011, in one of the newly renovated Alfred Cottages.

There is no Hotel because the main house is being renovated but you can book two bedroom cottages (with double & twin rooms) Most of the accommodation on the Isle of Wight is very dated... More

We stayed overnight and had a beautiful spacious room, with a four poster, the bathroom was a bit antiquated, but very clean, as was all the hotel. Really had a lovely time.... More
