Surrounded by woodlands, red squirrels in abundance, walking trails, and the ancient ruins of a 12th-century Cistercian abbey, this unique farmhouse offers a rare chance to stay within the spiritual and historical heart of the island. After a day of exploring, head to The Abbeys well known locally, Café serving hot drinks, delicious cakes and lunches, before heading back to the Farmhouse, lighting the fire and enjoying the tranquillity of its unique location. Whether you're drawn by the beauty of the countryside, the calm of abbey life,the architectural wonder of Quarr itself, this home is the perfect base for rest, reflection, and exploration. The farmhouse sits adjacent to the atmospheric ruins of the original Quarr Abbey, founded in 1132 by Baldwin de Redvers, Earl of Devon. The site’s name—Quarreria—comes from the nearby Binstead stone quarry, once used to build grand cathedrals like Winchester and Chichester. Just steps away is the modern Quarr Abbey, built between 1907–1914. Its red-brick church is open daily (5:00am–8:30pm) and offers beautiful Gregorian chant services sung by the resident monks. A peaceful and contemplative atmosphere fills the grounds year-round. The Old Abbey Farmhouse is more than just a place to stay—it’s a deeply restful experience. Set in one of the most historic and spiritual locations on the Isle of Wight, guests will find space to unwind, reflect, and reconnect with nature and history. Guests are welcome to explore the grounds. On entering through the eighteenth-century front doorway of the Farmhouse, a bright hallway opens to both the dining room and living room. The dining room, with a wood burner, has seating for four guests. The kitchen has newly fitted units with a dishwasher, oven and hob. There is a small utility room with washing machine next to the kitchen. Off the kitchen is the bathroom with a roll top bath, basin and toilet. Access to the garden is through the kitchen which also has a small, enclosed seating area, perfect for an afternoon drink in the sun. The garden is enclosed and is suited for a small dog to enjoy. The living room is a bright and airy room with another wood burner and Smart TV. The views across the farmers’ fields are inspiring, a peaceful place to sit and enjoy. The staircase leads up to a landing and two bedrooms. The master bedroom has a double bed and a recently fitted ensuite with shower cubical. The second bedroom has a king size bed. Outside the rear garden there is a patio area for guests to enjoy an afternoon in the sunan evening under the stars after you have taken in the sights of the Abbey grounds. The more modern Quarr Abbey, built from 1907 to 1914, is an architectural wonder, constructed entirely of brick. Its magnificent church, a jewel of the Isle of Wight, is open to the public from 5.00 am to 8.30 pm every day. Church services, sung by the monks in Gregorian Chant, are held throughout each day.

Very quiet location but only a ten minute drive away from Ryde. Lots of places to walk from the property. Tv reception was dependant on weather and WiFi is not capable for TV streaming, only for browsing the internet as my teenage son found out. ##### Craig This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Apr 4, 2024 #### What an amazing place What an amazing place. It was so serene and beautiful. Place was spotless and furnished/equipped to a high standard. The abbey grounds were lovely to walk the dog in. Waking up to the sounds of lambs bleating and birds was delightful. The walk to the abbey tearoom was short and the tea room amazing, slightly longer walk to the Fishbourne pub with the dog was also worth it. Truly an amazing holiday This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keith Oct 24, 2024 #### Old Abbey Farmhouse Returning guest to the farmhouse for my wife and I and Archie the cat.

The monastery was amazing with beautiful Latin services. The monks and everyone were so friendly. Beautiful and peaceful surroundings with great walks. Lots of people stopped to admire the farmhouse and we were proud to say we lived there (even though it was for only a week). Great little gift shops and we loved feeding the pigs. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We would definitely recommend and may be back ourselves in the not too distant future. Thank you.

Impeccable cleanliness. Very comfortable with lovely countryside views. Very dark at night to assist sleep. Very quiet except for the bleating of the sheep opposite and the occasional trekker hiking along the bridleway outside. Lovely to sit in the walled garden to have a coffee. Very well furnished and equipped with a useful welcome pack. If weather is bad, tv reception can be intermittent but who cares when you can look outside at the lovely surroundings. On the coastal path if you like walking/cycling. I would highly recommend.

It was my wife's birthday and Tracy (who was also GREAT!!) went above and beyond. We had a very happy stay at The Old Abbey Farmhouse and love the Isle of Wight. We'd have no hesitation in staying again. ummm, that's difficult !! ##### John This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent Apr 3, 2024 #### 10/10 Outstanding The getaway farmhouse was just lovely. Two wonderful wood burning fireplaces, wonderfully equipped kitchen, dog friendly, beautiful walks out your doorstep, pub within short walk, Fishbourne and Ryde walks accessible and peace, quiet and beautiful scenery made this long weekend spot on the top of our list. The Abbey is right up they way with a wonderful little cafe and farm shop. Ideal place for a couplesmall family. One bathroom upstairs, in one of the bedrooms, so would need to be sharedgo downstairs to second bathroom. Water pressure for showering was amazing. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helen F.

This is the best property that we have stayed in by far. We were met by Claire, who showed us around and how everything worked. The house is tastefully decorated throughout and very comfortable. The welcome pack was amazing, things that you actually need and use, much better than previous properties, when we have got just a bottle of wine.( Didn't drink it, took it home, still in the wine rack!\]. The house is in a very peaceful area, in the Abbey grounds, only a short walk to the Abbey and a 10 to 15 minute walk to the pub at Fishbourne, also a very pleasant walk through the woods to the beach. We felt so relaxed there that we didn't want to leave, we will certainly be returning here. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ray L.
