Nettlecombe Farm Holiday Cottages

Immerse yourself in the beautiful Isle of Wight with a stay at award winning Nettlecombe Farm.Set in acres of rolling countryside, we offer a unique opportunity to experience farm life, where as a resident you’ll be able to explore, meet the wide variety of animals and take part in a farm feeding tour with alpacas, reindeer and even an emu, to name but a few. Relax at the Farm or use it as a base to see some of the UK’s most stunning scenery by foot, bicycle or bus, and enjoy all that the Island has to offer. Nestled in the heart of rolling Isle of Wight countryside, award winning Nettlecombe Farm offers you and your family a unique self-catering holiday that will leave you with wonderful memories. With nine award- winning, dog friendly, luxurious self-catering cottages to choose from, sleeping three to ten, we can cater for all party sizes. Along with three coarse fishing lakes and a petting farm that kids will love, which includes a wide variety of not just farm animals but reindeer, alpacas and an emu too, there are play areas for children to let off steam with toddlers play equipment, a big Wendy house and a sports field. There is also the opportunity to join one of our farm feeding tours, these unique tours give you the opportunity to experience a day in the life of a farmer and are often enjoyed as much by adults as the kids! In the Morris family for over a hundred years, Nettlecombe Farm is located in amongst idyllic South Wight countryside, but is also just half a mile away from the village of Whitwell where you’ll find a popular local pub The White Horse, a petrol station, church and bus stop. A couple of miles further on is Niton, our neighbouring village, with a well-stocked general store (which also delivers) and off licence, post office, chemist and pubs, The Buddle Inn and White Lion. Newport, the county town is a twenty- minute drive away and if you like to be beside the seaside, Ventnor is just three miles away. Of course, you might not want to go too far from the farm, and we offer yoga and pilates classes weekly, but the Island boasts beautiful walks and bike rides, and we can provide a map of some of our favourites. As part of the Island’s ‘Drive Less, See More’ campaign we are proud of our sustainability credentials winning a gold medal in the Green Star Scheme for sustainable travel and we provide free bus passes and free charging for electric cars on site. We also have discounted ferry prices which are available when you book. Staying at Nettlecombe Farm means that you are not just staying in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty but also a UNESCO biosphere reserve: a place with a special mix of the best wildlife sites found anywhere in England, landscape that is nationally important and a rich culture and heritage. Our fields have been grazed for generations by beef cattle and sheep and we think that the passing of the seasons and the changing landscape make Nettlecombe Farm worth visiting at any time of year and we are happy to offer short breaks for out of season guests visiting outside school holidays.
