We LOVED our few days at The Garlic Farm, it was us and our 4 year old. Having safe, peaceful and adventurous space to walk out and explore, and some activities, restaurant/cafe and shop, where we were staying was a real gift in addition to exploring the island. The Paddock Cottage was bigger than the photos give away, warm, comfortable and quiet with everything we could have needed there for us. The owners of the farm were helpful and friendly at all times, they also offer to book your ferry at a discount which we did not realise and should have waited for their follow up email! A beautiful choice of place to stay!

This is a first rate location for a weekend or short break. The accommodation was better than expected and with limited or no intrusion from the adjacent lets and the Garlic Farm shop and restaurant. The convenience of having a discounted (for residents of the lets) store on hand made it ideal for a short break. Also useful was the restaurant which, for our party, was the ideal way to start a weekend break.

The area in itself is easy to find, very peaceful and off of a typical island highway. We were lucky with the weather which really helps. All sorts of amenities and places of interest are within a 15 minute radius; what's not to love about this place.

Had a lovely few days in very challenging weather in September! Cosy cottage, had everything we needed but a second hand towel would have helped hair drying! Kitchen well equipped and was easily able to make a meal for friends we had come over to visit. Communication prior to our trip was excellent with the useful e-booklet.
Good walking around the farm and so man birds. The highlight was watching red squirrels playing. Many thanks.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage is centrally located, so it is easy and fairly quick to get to any attractions. An easy trip to the ferries in Ryde or East Cowes. Colin, Jenny and their family are very welcoming and eager to share their love of the farm and the island. The shop products are varied and delicious; the restaurant is cozy with good food. The Garlic Farm is organic, farming for the future. We loved it!

We stayed for a long weekend - the first time in Paddock Cottage but not our first stay at the Farm. The location is beautifully quiet, the breakfast food and service is superb, and the accommodation is comfy and characterful. Thank you to all at the Farm for providing a lovely environment to relax in and from which to explore the island.

We had a lovely break at the Garlic Farm; we were welcomed on arrival and the cottage was well equipped with a very comfortable bed. The location was excellent for walking with our dog and being able to stop at cafes and pubs on the way, and the breakfast at the farm is an easy way to start the day and the coffee is good too!
We really couldn't have asked for anything more and would have no hesitation in staying again.

Stayed in Paddock Cottage, it had everything we needed for a week on the island. Cottage was small but v clean & tidy had little courtyard for our dog which led onto a larger field which was handy in the mornings. The Farm isn’t near anything so getting in the car is a must, a few walks across fields but all included a road walk if you were walking to a pub/restaurant.

Restaurant fabulous..shop amazing, as a lover of garlic!
Perhaps a little TLC for the cottage..a rack over the shower door would be helpful for shampoo etc and a DVD player would be nice
But masses of hot water and heating when needed very effective. .

On the good side we found most things as described by the Garlic Farm Welcome Pack so we were happy.

On the down side.
We do think the Welcome Pack does need to be updated as it says that a 10% discount is given to guests in the Garlic Farm shop as well as the restaurant, we used the shop and they gave us the discount but when we had lunch in the restaurant we were told that it did not give the discount you only get that in the shop, this was a bit embarrassing for us.

.In the Paddock Cotts we fount that the shower was very slippery when wet and it could possibly be improved by the introduction of a nonslip mat.
Overall we found it very good value and we enjoyed ourselves

Perfect location and fantastic to see the peacocks again! Great to have the restaurant and cafe so close. Lovely setting, beautiful flowers and nice to have the paddock for a spot of soft ball and bat cricket. Lovely staff.
Disappointingly however the cleanliness was a problem (rectified quickly but the cleaning team need to up their game). Our child’s sofa bed was also not made up so we had to get that done at half past ten pm after coming back from a party. Just not ideal.

This was our second stay in Paddock Cottage since moving back to the mainland 18 months ago. Great to be able to stay at one of our favourite locations on the Island. Having had winter storms and floods nearby on our previous visit, the weather was unseasonably perfect. A treat to sit in the little garden, with a glass of the shop's excellent wine, watching rabbits running around, Buzzards circling overhead, birdsong (and Peacocks), the Peacock proudly displaying his magnificent tail. Very well equipped and comfortable accommodation, prompt responses to any problem. Everything eco-friendly. An ideal setting for us: quiet and peaceful but not isolated, overlooking the restaurant but in a private, raised area. Wonderful dog-walk round the farm. A very special place.

From start to finish, the Garlic Farm is absolutely fantastic. I will be recommending this to all my friends and family!! The paddock cottage was absolutely spotless, and so nice and all the furnishings are great. The only little thing I’d say, is please provide hand soap, other than that it’s 10/10. Thank you!

We had a mid week mini break for 2 nights. A lovely couple of nights spent at Paddock cottage. This was are second stay at the Garlic Farm. A lovely setting for a vist and away from the hustle and bustle of city life. A nice and peaceful location. The cottage was immaculate with nice attention to detail like fresh milk in the fridge and tea and coffee provided. Their is a restaurant on the property and a information book in the cottage with a guide to local pubs and restaurants and full of top tips for your stay. I would highly recommend this place for a relaxing break..

Paddock cottage was cosy and comfortable and very warm. Was hoping the shop sold bread, but we will know better next time.
Lost the key and it was replaced quickly and without fuss. Found the original key later.
Excellent meal at the conveniently local Pub in Newchurch, and an equally excellent lunch in the farm restaurant.
Will highly reccommend the Garlic Farm to others.

Making the booking was super easy, even helping to sort out the ferry bookings to suit our travel needs.
The accommodation is in a lovely setting, and the arrival was warm and welcoming despite the British weathers best attempts to put a damper on proceedings.
The cottage was fabulous, and absolutely perfect for the two of us plus our dog. Warm and cosy.
On-site staff were really welcoming, and so too were the chickens, who greeted us on our doorstep on 2 of the mornings :)

Breakfast in the restaurant was fabulous.
We had a wonderful relaxing time.

The cottage was warm and cosy. The bed was very comfortable and the whole place is well equipped for 2, although it can take 4 I wouldn’t recommend it. Towels were large and fluffy. A lovely touch was the complimentary garlic bulb and jar of pickle, plus local milk. I would liked to have seen some instructions on using the microwave and oven but we managed. We will definitely be returning in the future.

We had a lovely stay, the kitchen was well stocked and the whole place was very clean. It was in the perfect location for us, and we enjoyed seeing the various animals (horses and peacocks) each morning. We also had a lovely breakfast at the restaurant on our last day. It did feel expensive in comparison to other places we have stayed.

Ideal for the short break we took. Well equipped. Ticked all the 'green' & eco boxes. We watched red squirrels in the garden attached to the cottage. Lots of wildlife. Quiet & private, yet only a 40m walk to the restaurant - super lunch & breakfast. Good walks out around farm and ideal for visiting the rest of the island.

I recently hired the Garlic Farm accommodation for my 40th birthday celebration.

The Accommodation team were brilliant at helping us put on an amazing event and catering to our guest’s individual needs. Friends and family members having been raving about the experience in the weeks afterwards.

The site is stunning, there are plenty of activities for children and adults and the accommodation is very well maintained. The communal yurt proved to be a real hub of fun and activity throughout our weekend.

We will not hesitate to book again.

Very enjoyable and comfortable stay in Paddock Cottage. Could have done with better lighting in sitting area for reading. Private garden and patio ideal for keeping our bikes (not undercover). Convenient parking area just outside the front door although had to reverse down the drive. Good walks around he Garlic Farm itself and excellent restaurant. Everyone very friendly. A great area for cycling.

Our stay at the Garlic Farm has been just magical and a perfect getaway for a family holiday. The newly renovated cottage was spotlessly clean and tastefully furnished. As a passionate cook, I was very pleased with the fully kitted kitchen which has absolutely everything you need to make beautiful home cooked meals. Saying that, the Garlic Farm restaurant is a gem and offers great meals and generous portions. The kids loved the grounds, visiting the roaming peacocks and playing in the fun games room and playpark onsite. If we had our dog, he would have loved it too. Thank you for the friendly hospitality, we will definitely return!

The cottage is specifically for two people, but there is a very comfortable sofa bed in the lounge, which we used this year. We love the location, and the owners and staff are welcoming. The Garlic Farm is central to lots of places of interest, and also provides its own interesting activities. If you are lucky, you may also see red squirrels, as we did this year!

We had a fabulous time at Paddock Cottage, despite the weather not being great. Paddock Cottage is a lovely, and very well-equipped cottage, the owners are extremely helpful and the cottage was extremely good value for money. Stunning location, and had a lovely restaurant if we didn't want to cook. We especially appreciated the discounted Ferry fares. I paid only £117.80 return for my normal-sized car, whereas a guy I spoke to on the ferry had paid £260.00 return for a normal-sized car!! Our second stay at The Garlic Farm, and hope to return one day. Have recommended The Garlic Farm to all my friends. An excellent break! 100% Satisfied.

We have been staying here for some years and there is very little we can criticise if anything ! The accommodation is perfect for us, we are left to our own devices although it was nice to meet the owners passing by. It is ideally situated for access to all the island, a superbly equipped shop and restaurant and small cafe plus the added bonus of the local peacocks who made our stay special with an unexpected display of vibrant plumage on our doorstep one evening ! And of course if you love garlic as we do then this is the place to stay!

The lovely setting and unique nature of the farm together with the friendliness made this stay most pleasurable. Blessed with warm weather sitting outside could benefit from some more comfortable furniture.
The staff always helpful and the advantage of a discount on purchases and the restaurant a bonus. Lovely stay with red squirrels for company.

A very different experience. Cottage was well presented , comfortable and clean. Pleasant small garden, nice bistro table (although a bigger table and more inviting seat covers would be a bonus.)
Water was piping hot and plentiful. Kitchen had basic equipment, if you want to cook.
Lovely scenery lovely walks around the farm site and to the village.
Love the philosophy and ethics of the farm business and how welcoming they are to the public.
Restaurant food is excellent and staff well trained.
Shop has a good stock of goods to buy.
Plenty of wildlife around including peacock and peahen.
Would happily return.

Spent 5 days at the cottage and enjoyed the walks around the farm amongst all the wild flowers and butterflies and the elusive red squirrels. Food in the restaurant is very good, served in hearty portions and is very garlic centered !
The farm is very busy at times during the day but is very peaceful during the evening.
Accommodation facilities very good with nice patio to relax on. Will definitely return to the farm for another relaxing stay

My husband and I had a really lovely stay in Paddock Cottage.
We were left a very nice welcome package which included garlic products and essential milk, tea and coffee . The cottage was well equipped and being able to sit out in our very pretty little garden was brilliant . The Peacock and hen visited on our last evening which kept us entertained , but sadly we didn’t get to see any red squirrels which we knew must be about.
We didn’t actually meet the owners but we did exchange texts when we arrived and left .
We had breakfast at the Garlic farm on our last morning and it was excellent . We didn’t get to try lunch as we were always out and about .
The shop is full of lovely garlicky goodies and yes we visited there a couple of times ❤️
There are a couple of nice walks around the farm which we did in the evenings .
All in all a very good place to stay and well placed for travelling around the island .
This was our first visit to the IOW and we will be back .

Another lovely stay at Paddock. Perfect for two people and our dog. The cottage is very well equipped and situated and I’m sure we’ll be back next year!

We are very particular where we stay, the kitchen/dining and lounge area were spotless, as was the whole of the property. The bedroom had a good sized bed and was very comfortable.
We were given fantastic information, with regards places to eat out and visit. The onsite restaurant was excellent, with plenty of choices on the menu. All in all difficult to fault this property.
The kitchen area was very well kitted out, just a couple of small observations, perhaps a small side table in the lounge area and either a hand grip or non slip mat in the shower.

Beautiful site with really helpful staff. Loved the walks around the farm and the food in the restaurant was delicious. Highlight of the visit was definitely the red squirrels feeding next to our table whilst we had breakfast.
Accommodation in Paddock Cottage was comfortable, bedroom was good, the kitchen/sitting room felt dark and cramped, but otherwise a wonderful stay!

Very pleased to have chosen the Garlic Farm cottages. We stayed in Paddock Cottage with our dog. It was great to have an enclosed yard and access to walks around the farm. Thoroughly enjoyed the peacock fan dance in our yard one morning & the red squirrel viewing windows in the restaurant. The shop and restaurant were top quality with interesting & healthy fresh food, beautifully presented and friendly service. Excellent coffee too! The owners were available nearby for any issues. We had a lovely winter break!

We booked the paddock cottage as a last minute thing, just happened to stumble across availability and booked straight away. We love this place! This was our third stay but first in a cottage. Such a great set up. Lovely cottage and plenty of space for two adults and two children. Will definitely be returning. The garlic farm is a perfect base, almost in the middle of the island so getting around is easy. Thanks Melanie and team for making our daughter’s birthday a special one. See you soon x

Thank you for inviting us to comment about our stay at The Garlic Farm. We decided to collect some seed garlic this year instead of ordering on-line, a far better idea! Paddock Cottage is nice and cosy and the kitchen is well appointed; we do love to cook! So kind of you to leave a garlic, delicious chutney, gorgeous milk and a vase of pretty flowers to welcome us, much appreciated indeed.

Just a little suggestion about the sitting room: if the T.V. was on a stand or wall-mounted, then the coffee table could be re-located in front of the sofa to place drinks on which would be very handy.

Thank you so much and we look forward to returning in the very near future.

We very much enjoyed staying at The Garlic Farm and thank you to Melanie for booking our ferry tickets which saved us stress and money! We loved the cottage and although self catering we treated ourselves to lovely breakfasts in the restaurant. We have looked at returning with extended family in the school holidays, but sadly it is too expensive for us.

We decided to make a late visit to the Garlic Farm for just a few days and we hoped that we could still enjoy the final part of what was a very hot summer and it turned out to be probably the best stay out of the three visits.
The location is wonderful and we stayed in the Paddock Cottage where we had stayed previously and the owners had clearly made many improvements. The cottage was comfortable, clean and functional and so quiet and peaceful, with the lovely restaurant just a few yards walk from our cottage it was a joy to amble across to have a nice breakfast though of course you could make your own breakfast if you wish. The people there are all very nice and helpful which makes the visit that much better and so there is not much more we can write as it is such a wonderful place to visit and enjoy, we hope we can get across sometime next year this time for a longer spell.

We stayed at the Paddock cottage of the Garlic Farm with our dog for a week this summer and thoroughly enjoyed our holiday there! The cottage was very cosy and had everything we needed, including a little outside garden where we could enjoy a barbecue and nice afternoon tea, read a book or laze about in the sun - we quickly felt at home! Colin, Jenny, Hugo and Mélanie were very welcoming and it was a pleasure to meet them and learn about the farm and its history. During our stay at the cottage, we particularly enjoyed our daily walks with the dog around the farm where we saw some friendly cows, the magnificent peacock family and some beautiful red squirrels. In the morning, we were awoken by the rooster's crowing song which was charming. We used our little 'Garlic Farm Holiday Guide' daily to discover local attractions of interest to us and plan where to have lunch, dinner and tea and cakes. It was great to have the opportunity to get a hamper of local produce on our arrival and we appreciated having the farm shop and restaurant/café next door to our cottage when we wanted a quiet day at the cottage. We warmly recommend the Garlic Farm to anybody who is looking to enjoy a relaxing stay on the Isle of Wight. We can't wait to book another holiday there soon!

We recently returned from a wonderful week at the Garlic Farm. We stayed in Paddock Cottage which was perfect for the two of us and our dogs. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed and was very comfortable.
We enjoyed the lovely walks around the farm and the wonderful views. It was good to be able to have a delicious breakfast on a couple of mornings during our stay in the dog friendly restaurant and watching the red squirrel collecting his nuts while we ate on the terrace.
Being centrally located we never seemed to be too far from any part of the island which made it easy to see plenty of the attractions.

With a large family group - 19 - on the farm to celebrate big birthdays, Paddock Cottage was perfect for my wife and I to grab a little 'me' time occasionally. Everything on the farm is very convenient and all my family members were very impressed with all the facilities - with full use being made of the games room and restaurant. My only regret is that we forgot to visit the shop before leaving to buy some garlic! The staff - particularly Mel and Hugo were most helpful over the last year of planning and correspondence - and they even arranged decent weather!

We enjoyed everything about Paddock cottage and the Garlic Farm and it was perfect for our dog as well. Clean and well maintained, we wanted for nothing. Food in the restaurant was consistently good and the staff were friendly. One tiny criticism, on our last day we had packed up and loaded the car except for the fridge/freezer, stripped the bed, and went for a last walk before breakfast in the restaurant. We got back at two minutes to 10am to be met by a very brusque cleaner who told us we had to be out by 10am and not to touch the new milk in the fridge! Felt very told off and slunk away leaving a slight bad taste in the mouth. Nevertheless we shall certainly return.

We had an amazing time at the Garlic Farm, the paddock cottage is beautiful. From the moment we arrived we were totally relaxed. The extra thoughtful touches in the cottage are amazing. The cottage itself is perfect we couldn't fault a thing.
Every member of staff we interacted with were so friendly and polite. Breakfast at the restaurant was outstanding. A must if you stay or just visit the farm.
This is definitely a place we will come back to and would highly recommend as a great place to stay while on the Isle of Wight.

Thoroughly enjoyable, however two points.
1.Property contains steps so non ambulant persons may have an issue.
2. Toilet window has plain glass, as does the bedroom, both rooms face a courtyard which is in busy daily public use, FITTING SIMPLE NET CURTAINS WOULD SOLVE THIS ISSUE thus avoiding unecessary embarassment for all parties.

Staying at the Garlic Farm really was amazing. For the beautiful scenery, perfect location for getting around the island, friendly helpful owners who booked our ferry too and the cottage itself was just perfect! It had everything we needed, including some visiting peacocks which were stunning and even a red squirrel! It felt very homely but also beautiful. The breakfast was amazing and loved all the local produce esp the garlic! It really was the perfect place to stay on the island and we would want to stay there again every time!

The garden, which is fenced off, was great for our dog and we loved sitting out there taking in the views around the farm. The Garlic Farm surroundings are beautiful. We would definitely go back!

I would recommend a stay here whole heartedly. It is a beautiful, natural and relaxed location. The cottage is extremely well thought out and the attention to detail means that all your creature comforts are already provided which really helps when you are staying away. We really look forward to coming back at some point. Lovely warm combo boiler with endless hot water and heating for if it gets a bit cool in the evening, Patio and bbq out back for catching the sun and a very very well specified kitchen that made it feel as easy as cooking at home. Also a games room and great restaurant and great staff. Thanks garlic farm team...

1st time staying on the Island and can’t praise The Garlic Farm on the IOW enough. Needed an essential stop over from the mainland during this difficult time and they were so helpful. The accommodation was spotless with clear safety advice on arrival. The pre-ordered food hamper was much more than expected making the stay so much easier than having to shop on arrival.
Visiting peacocks in the garden for breakfast was also a first and happily memorable.
Have looked for dates to stay later in the year for a proper break but not surprisingly they are almost fully booked after the dates when we expect to see the lockdown lifted.
Hope to return however.

We stayed at the Garlic Farm in the Paddock Cottage recently, one of several little units. It was idyllic. A lovely little unit, quiet, pretty and very well equipped.
Our hosts were first class. The farm has been run by the same family for generations and the family focus is abundantly clear. They were friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
Great location pretty much in the middle of the island, in a beautiful sheltered valley.
We would revisit in an instant.

We had an absolutely idyllic long weekend at The Garlic Farm - and really didn’t want to leave!
Especially enjoyed barbecues in the garden, evening walks around the site, the truly delicious Afternoon tea in the gardens at the back of the restaurant - and buying garlicky treats & local produce from the shop to take home at end of our stay!

Just a few ‘finer points’ on the housekeeping which would have made it even better ....
- if a few more towels had been supplied (we had just one bath towel each & a hand towel to share)
- there were a few hairs in the plug in the bathroom sink
- when we stripped the bed at the end of our stay, we noticed a few marks/stains on the duvet

That said, we will definitely be back!

The set up of the garlic farm is perfect. Great location, very nice accommodation and plenty to do on site.
It was disappointing, therefore, when the cottage was not clean. Hadn't been swept, very dusty, bird droppings on window ledge and unclean pillows (stray hairs, sweat stains). Even when they sent the cleaner back in it was only given a cursory sweep and the pillows put back in their covers unchanged.
It didn't spoil the stay though (we bought a couple of new pillows at local supermarket)
The cottage had great facilities and was warm and comfortable. We had an excellent nights sleep on a very comfortable bed.
The breakfast, which was included in our package, was of a fantastic quality. The only minor complaint was that, although breakfast was included, you still had to pay for hot drinks. If you offer breakfast I think this should be included.
We loved, though, how dog friendly the site was, especially in the restaurant, with plenty of local interesting walks.
The staff were all friendly and helpful and we hope it is not too long before we will return

We stayed in paddock cottage for four nights over a very wet and windy February weekend. This cottage has everything you need for a self catering break including the farms café/restaurant/shop just across the path.
It’s very dog friendly with the secure private garden. it’s clean warm and cosy. Great value for money and a very central location if you’re looking to tour the island.
Everyone we met on the farm were great. Very friendly and helpful. If you’re looking for a quiet peaceful location for a weekend this is your place.

We had a fantastic weekend despite the weather. The team were so helpful in rearranging our ferry and sorting out an additional night for us due to the storm. The cottage is really warm and cosy and has everything you need for self-catering and feeling like you’re in a home from home. The breakfast at the restaurant was excellent. We will be back as this is a really special place for us having got engaged on the island last year.

We arrived in the dark so Melanie had not seen us but came out to welcome us later. She was very friendly and helpful. The cottage is well located with a private garden (where a red squirrel and several peacocks joined us). It is clean and modern with all the equipment necessary. The walks around the area are great; I would recommend walking the 'shute' route in order to get the best views. There were some lovely lambs in residence when we were staying and a fantastic artisan makers market.
Everyone at the Garlic Farm is friendly and I would stay there again for a long weekend.

We always love to visit the garlic farm, so staying in the paddock cottage was really exciting for us. Lovely to wake up every morning to the delishious smell of the cooked garlicky breakfast and the lovely view from our bed each morning looking out into the garden across the lawn. Beautiful area and close to the off road cycle route which is brilliant. We will definatly come back again.

The Paddock Cottage was quite comfortable with a fabulous garden which included a BBQ, reclining loungers and a bistro table and chairs enabling us to spend time in the sunshine. Once we got over the surprise that the dishwasher that was stated as included was a mistake, everything went well. The Garlic farm is quite central to the Island and a great base to see all of the sights. We hope to return in 2021.

My wife and I just spent 4 x nights at the Paddock Cottage for the first time. The cottage is well located and very clean and practically laid out. The coffee table was being used a s a TV stand meaning there was no where to put drinks etc when sitting on the sofa watching TV. I suspect this is a temporary situation and will be quickly rectified. Thoroughly recommended.

We loved the Garlic Farm setting, enjoying the Farm walks with our two dogs and the comfort of the accommodation. Being able to pop into the well appointed shop was ideal and the cafeteria food and service was perfect.

Just one disappointment was the unfortunate lack of warning given to us that there was going to be a party for a staff member on the Saturday night which meant a band/disco playing till midnight in the rearranged shop area!
We like our music but .........!
Unfortunately the Garlic farm owners were not fully aware of the situation and were not advised there was going to be disco music until late in the evening.

Ten of us arrived at Garlic Farm to occupy two Yurts and Paddock Cottage. We were warmly welcomed and found the accommodation clean and welcoming - milk in the ‘fridge, tea and coffee and little touches like fresh flowers and a gift of a garlic bulb and a jar of chutney. The beds were comfortable with lovely fresh cotton linen. There was soap in the bathroom, although a liquid soap to use in the shower would have been a welcome addition, but I guess that most people take their own cleaning products.

The main restaurant is atmospheric and excellent, fabulous breakfast and evening meals. On Sunday we were treated to a music trio who serenaded us whilst we consumed homemade pizza in the restaurant. In addition to the pizza and music, we watched red squirrels scampering around the rope course constructed for them. What a treat!

I thoroughly recommend Garlic Farm for all family occasions and gatherings. Thank you Colin, Hugo and Family.

I visit the IOW once a year for a work related trip.

Staying at the Garlic farm is perfect for me due to the central location. It has the facilities of the shop and of course the restaurant where and wide variety of local foods are served, obviously garlic inspired. Most importantly (to me) however, a wide variety of local beers. Yates brewery is a 5 minute drive away and supplies the restaurant with great beers like Islander and Holy Joe! There are great walks through the farm to the Pointers in Newchurch (also great food) and The White House In Arreton.

The Garlic Farm was an excellent location for exploring the island and we had some lovely walks. It was very nice to have the restaurant on our doorstep - although the cream teas were almost too tempting!

It would have been useful to have a larger saucepan and the cooker has seen better days, but then a stay in Paddock Cottage is very reasonably priced, and overall was comfortable and cosy.

Beautiful little cottage in a fantastic location. Lots of walks around the garlic farm and a great restaurant and shop on the footstep. It was quiet and peaceful and we enjoyed seeing the peacocks that roam freely.
The cottage was basic but had everything we needed and a gift of some garlic farm produce was a nice touch

We, as a large family, have stayed at the garlic farm many times. We find it very friendly, the staff are really helpful. The children in our family really enjoy it , which is what holidays are all about.

Rooms Bigger than the photos on the web, good size and facilities. Only thing that we would mention would be the noise from both the fridge and freezer throughout the night. Outside the bedroom , being a light sleeper l could hear them during the night .

Welcomed on arrival by the owners who made sure we had everything we needed.

Very convenient location to explore the island. Food at the restaurant very tasty.

Sofa in the lounge could have been more comfortable but that's the downside of a sofa bed. Kitchen equipment could have been newer but was usable. However, we would still recommend the property.

Fabulous location, nothing was too much for Hugo when I was arranging the booking. The Garlic Farm family and staff are great hosts. The location is beautiful. The sun shines every time we’re there. We’ll be back next year!

I had a very peaceful few days at Paddock Cottage with my 2 dogs. Was sorry to leave. The purpose of my stay was respite from being a carer so it suited me perfectly.

Ideal location nice and secluded perfect for our two dogs plenty of walks around the farm . Lovely to see the peacocks milling around the farm . Cottage was clean on the whole was presentable although kitchen and bathroom could do with an upgrade it was handy having a washing machine and iron to do holiday clothes . It would have been useful to have a boot scraper to lessen the mud taken into cottage . Restaurant and food shop excellent lovely goodies to take home . Will definitely return .

We loved our short stay at the Garlic Farm. The booking process was easy & Hugo was quick to respond to any questions we had. The farm shop served up a lovely breakfast & coffee & we thoroughly enjoyed the special pancake evening on the Tuesday.

The kids also enjoyed the many craft activities laid on during the half term week, even getting their M.y.o. garlic designs featured in the local County Press newspaper.

We would love to visit again & it was great to see many of the other accommodation types on offer before we left (thanks to Hugo's dad). We stayed in the smallest and most basic of cottages, which was very comfortable and had lots of quirky characteristics and charm. If I were being ultra critical about our cottage and in order to provide other guests with an impeccable experience, I would provide more utensils in the kitchen, replace the kettle (as had a funny after taste) and update the cooker/oven as we found it difficult to cook a meal. This feedback was given to Hugo's dad (sorry forgot your name,), so I'm sure these comments will be taken on board & improvements made.

I'm sure we will be returning to the Garlic Farm in the not to distant future & we would like to try out one of the other cottages.
