Nettlecombe Farm
Isle of Wight
Nettlecombe Farm is nestled in the heart of the rolling South Wight
countryside, at the top of a quiet lane around half a mile from the village
of Whitwell. It is a working farm that offers luxurious self-catering
holiday accommodation.
If you enjoy fishing then you should take advantage of our three lakes that
are located a 150 yard stroll down the lane, which is also accessible by
car. These man made but now wholly naturalised lakes cover an area of 1.5
acres and are well-stocked with carp, roach and tench of various sizes. The
largest recorded fish caught from these lakes to date was a 20lb carp caught
by a 12 year old boy.
Yearly, double figures are caught. As well as being a peaceful place to pass
the time and admire the beautiful scenery the lakes offer something to
anglers of all abilities; good sport for the experienced angler and simply a
chance to catch fish for the novice.
Guests staying at Nettlecombe Farm can fish free of charge, and the lakes
are also open to the public for a daily 'per rod' charge. The lakes are open
from dawn to dusk all year round.
Nettlecombe Farm has been in the Morris family for over 100 years. The
farm's meadows are grazed by beef cattle, sheep, ponies and donkeys. In the
Rickyard there is a wide variety of small livestock normally including
chickens, geese, turkeys, pigs, goats and rabbits. In springtime, visiting
children may be lucky enough to help bottle-feed the lambs. And when the
kids need to let off steam there are three large grassed play areas -
including one with toddlers play equipment, which has a stunning large
'Wendy' house and a fabulous wooden tractor and for the older children there
is a sports pitch. There are many glorious walks and cycle routes accessible
from the farm with breathtaking views of a large part of the island.
Excellent coarse fishing is also available on our three lakes.
Whilst we have a beautiful rural setting, we are not far from civilisation.
At the bottom of the hill is the village of Whitwell with a public house,
petrol station, church and bus stop. Two miles away is the neighbouring
village of Niton where there is a large general store and off licence (open
late and on Sundays), a Post Office, butcher, public house and a chemist.
The seaside town of Ventnor is approximately three miles away and the
island's capital Newport is around twenty minutes drive. We think you will
love this part of the Isle of Wight as much as we do. 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 between October & May.
