I love it here, so peaceful. Managed to tag onto the 11 o clock tour, I'm sorry I didn't get the guides name, but he was brilliant. Really knowledgeable could answer every question. The best part of the tour is respectfully being allowed to the end of the Abbey, the bricklayers did an amazing job, it really is a work of art!

Parking is a short work from a real Abbey. It's huge and is clean and is in good repair. There's a Shop, Farm shop and cafe. The church has no decorations but the acoustics are fantastic. The Singing of the monks choir is worthy of being recorded. It's perfect for a stop before catching the ferry just down the road.

We came with our adult daughter to the Isle of Wight for a break, and spent a few hours at Quarr. I was treated to a gluten-free scone and cream, which was really delicious. The Abbey Church was deeply peaceful, then we wandered down to the old Abbey ruins. It was the perfect opportunity to walk and talk.

Lovely peaceful place. Went on a gorgeous day so was perfect for walking round the grounds. Managed to observe one of the prayers as you are welcome in - thank you!
Stopped into the tea rooms for hebal tea and cake - very nice!
Easily accessible by bus from Ryde and Newport. But, be warned, the bus from Ryde and to Newport you have to cross the main road. Allow time to wait for traffic otherwise it's a little walk up a short Hill to the crossing.
Free entry but donation boxes around to support

I spent a week here a few years ago on retreat and hope to go back. I am a Reformed Protestant but there was no “hard sell” from them at all. They accept you as you are.The guest master Fr Nicholas is a lovely man and an excellent host and Abbott Xavier was very accommodating in letting me have access to the beautiful little Cavaille Coll organ in the church. The grounds are stunning and they have excellent book and local produce shops

Great location, beautiful peaceful grounds, lovely walks. Well stocked shop selling lovely local produce. Idyllic tea room with good food including delicious daily specials. The tea room outside garden area is a lovely space to sit and enjoy a morning coffee, afternoon cake or light lunch - the only negative (and this is not a complaint) but the tea room garden does sometimes have a bit of an issue with wasps during the summer months.

Just visited the shop, Abbey building itself and part of farm, on a wet Monday in July.
The main Abbey building is simple, and a great place to contemplate or even to count the bricks, and forget the world outside.
The shop is OK, but the plants on sale were outstanding value and in good condition.
The pigs are great fun. It would be nice to know the breeds, and my wife would like each pig to be named.

Thus place and its grounds are lovely. FREE entry (donations welcomed), lovely grounds to sit with a picnic, kids and dogs and enjoy meeting the pigs. The Abbey itself is stunning inside, we happened to visit when a service happened and the sound produced within the church was amazing. The farm shop had so much local produce and gifts in it...Great for coming home presents. The tea room was lovely also.

A really lovely peaceful place with plenty to see and do. The pigs and piglets were lovely, as were the ecclesiastical buildings. We were blessed to be invited to have a tour of the sanctuary led by one of the monks, which was fascinating and we learned so much.
Definitely recommended.
