There are wonderful countryside views. The owners sometimes have their sheep or goats in this field.
The Old Dairy is in a small complex of converted farm buildings, in a gated development.
There is plenty of parking available just outside the door.
The Old Dairy is the farthest building visible in the photograph (there are 4 polytunnels now in situ housing goats). Knowlton Church is a short distance away.
The skies above The Old Dairy can be astounding. In 2023 the Aurora Borealis was visible above Knowlton Church.
Knowlton Church is a Norman church built within a neolithic henge and The Old Dairy sits on the southern fringes.
The glorious sandy beaches in the east of the county are a short drive away.

We appreciated the lovely treats on arrival. The cottage was fitted out and furnished to a high standard. The beds were extremely comfortable and the outside yard was nice for our morning coffee. We enjoyed being introduced to the rare breed livestock by Louisa and her family....

The cottage was really good and we were given such a warm welcome both before and during our stay. We had no issues with the log burner it was simply a matter of reading the instructions properly!!

This is our second visit and we will definitely return again. This is a great base and the accommodation is luxurious. We were lucky enough to be there to see the baby goats and twin calves which was the highlight of our stay. Thank you to the owners for another wonderful stay. ...

Everything about The Old Dairy exceeded our expectations. This is a beautiful property that is obviously very well looked after by the owners and it’s so comfortable and cosy that it’s makes an excellent holiday destination all year round. There is plenty to do close by for children and there are also some lovely forest walks and local pubs serving good food, so everyone is happy. We hope to be back again for another stay soon! ...

This was a first class property, well equipped with nothing spared to make it feel luxurious. The electronic gates made it very secure. It was very convenient to head out to various coastal locations. Our worry regarding the goats was unfounded as there was no noise or smells from them. Highly recommend....
