THE DAIRY COTTAGE (sleeps up to 8)

01983 821027

Situated in the heart of the Island overlooking Carisbrooke and the beautiful Bowcombe valley. There are extensive walks from the farm around the Castle, Clatterford streams and the beginning of the Tennyson trail which stretches from the farm to freshwater Bay. The Castle divides Froglands Farm from Newport town which has many facilities, including a cinema, shops and swimming centre etc and the main bus terminal. The beaches are never too far away and there is always something to do or see at the many islands attractions.

The walks around Froglands are varied and lead to the Castle, Tennyson Trail and the Downs. We are only twenty minutes walk to Newport or into the village of Carisbrooke. So lose the car keys with the tv remote!

At Froglands we have DIY livery for up to twenty horses, plus our own large cob (Charlie). There is also a low key antique furniture restoration business www.thecowshed.co.uk which you may like to "meander" around especially when it’s raining! (which it never does on the Island!!!)
