We had a great stay at the Farriers. We met Abbie on arrival and she was always available if we needed anything. The cottage was spotlessly clean and had all the essentials you could need. The enclosed garden was a great bonus. The cottage has direct access onto the Red Squirrel Trail, perfect for walking and cycling. We found a lovely community cafe in Wroxall called The View, a short walk along the trail from the cottage.. Would highly recommend dinner at Goddards Brewery and The Dairyman’s Daughter. We loved our stay, great hosts, brilliant location and we would not hesitate to return.

Absolutely fantastic stay. The property was fantastic for our two sausage dogs having an enclosed garden. The farriers was decorated beautifully. There is an EV charger on the farm which you can use and works out cheaper than charging out and about. There also is a washing machine and a tumble drier on site. The farm leads onto the old railway line from Shankling to Ventnor, which was great for walking the dogs, riding bikes or running. Abbie the owner was so helpful and friendly. We will definitely book in the future
