The highlight for all of us was the outside areas. While the kids were playing, us grown-ups could sit and soak up the views of the hills – perfect on a sunny day! The setting is a treat too as you can easily walk to the village of Whitwell and the coast is only about 10 minutes’ drive away.

About the owners

Jose Morris

Listed since December 2011

Nettlecombe Farm has been in our family for over a century, and you'll still meet us around the farm today. Now an award-winning farm-stay, we are situated in the heart of the rolling Isle of Wight countryside, at the top of a quiet lane half a mile from the sleepy village of Whitwell.

We have been welcoming families, groups and explorers of all ages to Nettlecombe Farm for over forty years. We work hard to make sure our guests have an unforgettable experience on our working farm and in the surrounding areas – which is why so many families return to us every year for their rural escape.

Owner recommendations

  • Surrounded by green fields and lakes and well positioned for the evening sun, our luxurious self-catering holiday accommodation is safe and comfortable for visitors of all ages and abilities. Nettlecombe Farm is also the perfect base from which to explore the trails around our Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, meet our friendly animals – and your gateway to the Island’s wider countryside, coastline and attractions. We are also proud to be part of the Island's biosphere - one of only seven in the UK celebrating the preservation of unique and diverse ecosystems.

  • Steephill Cove is a hidden gem of a beach with the bonus of crab pasties and great coffee.

  • Robin Hill is wonderful outdoor adventure park, great for tiring the kids out!

  • Tapnell Farm is fantastic farm park for all the family.

  • Pack up your imaginations and visit Blackgang Chine for rides, slides and wonderful worlds to explore.

  • For wonderful gardens try Ventnor Botanic Gardens – it has a lovely café too!
