This very popular farm stay is on the Isle of Wight, England, only five miles from the main town of Sandown, and can offer a range of lovely self-catering stone cottages and glamping-style yurts in beautifully peaceful rural surroundings.
The farm itself is quite famous for its production of garlic products, especially, garlic beer!
THE ACCOMMODATION:
All their cosy cottages are fully equipped in every way, with a nice kitchen, lounge with TV and WiFi, and varying numbers of bedrooms.
The glamping yurts can accommodate up to four people and have their own cooking facilities, both inside and out, as well as a seating area and a hammock.
There is also a farmhouse restaurant at the property where you can order top-quality meals for breakfast and lunch. Outside you’ll find a large garden with barbecue facilities and a full tennis court, surrounded on all sides by green meadows and small patches of woodland.
THE FARM:
Their lovely farm has a number of animals including a herd of highland cattle, hens, guinea fowl, and even peacocks. But, what really makes Mersley Farm stand out is garlic.
They make a great range of garlic products at the farm, including even a unique garlic beer, which has become very famous in these parts in recent years.
They have their own farm shop selling these as well as other good fresh produce, from the farm itself and from other sources on the Isle of Wight.
THE LOCATION:
The area around the farm is idyllic, richly rural farming country; it’s wonderful to explore by bike or on foot and you can find a whole series of footpaths around the farm that will take you deeper still into the countryside.
There are plenty of activities to be enjoyed in the local area including fishing, sailing, windsurfing, and horse riding. Just ask at the farm; they’ll have plenty of advice and recommendations.
WHAT OTHER GUESTS SAY:
“Exceptional: Really well equipped property, everything you could think. The patio area adjoining the property was great too. The animals on the grounds are a great touch too. Delicious local or garlic farm reared produce on sale in shop and restaurant….”
“Lots of outdoor space, including tennis courts and a games room we were able to enjoy our stay and relax. The staff were exceptional making us feel welcome. Wood for log fire was all included and free use of games was a perfect treat, as was the lovely touch of having some produce from the farm on our table and some herbs outside for cooking….”
