Dairy is a charming cottage, ideal for a small family, two couples or that special anniversary.

There are two bedrooms, one double with large ensuite shower room, the other with full size twin beds and ensuite bathroom. The cosy living room/kitchen is fully equipped with oven, hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, washer/drier and colour TV. All the rooms open onto a very large enclosed patio with table and chairs. For those cooler days, full oil fired central heating is included.

About Newbarn Country Cottages

Diane Harvey welcomes you to Newbarn Country Cottages, formerly a dairy farm but now primarily arable and extending to 240 acres, lying to the south of the village in a sheltered valley below the wooded slopes of the chalk downs which form the backbone of the Island. For those who enjoy walking, Carisbrooke Castle is merely 3 miles to the north along the Shepherd's Trail and many other walks can be started here, some enjoying spectacular views over the Island and south coast of Dorset and Hampshire.

Some of the former dairy buildings situated around the original farmyard have now been tastefully converted into high quality holiday cottages for the discerning visitor. A small welcome pack awaits you in each cottage and all will have beds made up for your arrival (cot linen not provided). Towels are available for hire if required. The tariff includes electricity and heating oil. In the interests of hygiene and asthma sufferers, we do not allow pets in any of the cottages. We also have a no smoking policy within the cottages. To facilitate cleaning, guests are requested not to arrive before 3:30pm on day of arrival and to vacate by 10am on day of departure. All cottages have ample parking and share a large grass play area.
