Quarr Abbey is a great and free! place to visit. The grounds are beautiful and if you can respect the silence, a visit inside the Abbey is quite the experience. The food shop is exquisite with a good range of quality and well priced items which of course all help with the good cause of the Abbey. The resident pigs and, depending on the time of year, piglets! are beautiful and feeding them is a great activity for the kids. The cafe is also amazing with good quality food and drinks available. If you’re passing, this is one of the best underrated places to visit on the Island!
Lovely place to visit with an impressive church building. The grounds are beautiful to look at while strolling around. The kids loved the piglets. There is a visitors information area and shop with books, rosaries and other religious items to purchase. The video was a bit jumpy but gave a good and informative overview of the monastery past and present, as well as the printed displays. The produce in the farm shop is a bit expensive but good quality beer is lovely. The cafe is also a bit steep with the baguette and sausage roll in the vegetarian ploughman's lunch being a bit pale but the coffee was very nice and my wife really liked her jacket potato. A worthwhile visit if you have a couple of hours/half day to fill.
Quarr Abbey is a hidden gem amongst the rolling hills of the Isle of Wight. We enjoyed spending time with the pigs and feeding them. It is surrounded by fields for dog walking and those who love nature. In the grounds of the Abbey is a truly delightful farm shop, tea rooms, and a visitor centre. We spent a good 2 hours roaming around and enjoying the relative peacefulness of the Abbey.
Recommend everyone to visit this hidden gem. The abbey is tranquil and beautiful. There's a silence request when inside as respect for the abbey and the monk's. The cafe offer's good food and drinks but there are plenty of places to eat a picnic. The pig's are worth a visit too. There's food in the shop if you want to feed them as they're not allowed other foodstuffs.
Very unusual relatively early 1900's modern abbey. Unusually all brick built and very striking design. The monks are still present and we saw some working. There is a small museum which describes the Benedictine order of monks and history of the abbey Well worth a visit and it's free!!
Parked here in free car park to walk the coastal path into Ryde. A wonderful walk with beautiful scenery at the Abbey and along the pathways. A lovely tea room/cafe, yet to try but on the to do list, as near to the ferry terminal. Fed the pigs and thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful and tranquil surroundings. Obviously very popular with the locals for dog walking, and for meeting up for a cuppa and a chin wag.
Such a beautiful and serene scene. So lovely to take a break from the hustle and bustle to just breathe. All of the products are very well priced especially considering its all made locally. Also a fantastic spot to do some nature watching, we saw 3 red squirrels playing.
Advised to go here when we arrived to early for the ferry off the isle. It was a fantastic recommendation and a delight for our last activity of our vacation. Beautiful grounds and a wonderfully tasty cafe.
I have visted here several times over the years, and l love this place. The Abbey and its grounds are both very peaceful and relaxing to wander about. One of the star attractions here are the pigs and their piglets! If you fancy a nice lunch, a slice of cake or maybe drink then you will find a very good cafe here. There is no entrance to this Abbey.
Great experience here, free entry with various different things to do. They have an interesting Abbey that you can explore and they also have pig pens with piglets in them. They also have a nice gift shop where you can buy pig feed if you want to feed the pigs and a nice cafe. I also spotted some red squirrels which was a huge plus!
