Finding the perfect accommodation for your family friendly holiday can be tricky. Whether you have toddlers or teenagers making sure the children are entertained is probably at the top of most parents lists. Here are five places you must check out before booking your holiday to the Isle of Wight.
Nettlecombe Farm, Whitwell
Surrounded by rolling fields and situated within the quaint village of Whitwell, Nettlecombe Farm is a family favourite for holiday makers to the Isle of Wight. There are nine self catering cottages/farmhouses to choose from and all are family and dog friendly (so your four legged pal can have a holiday too). Wander the amazing landscape and find yourself back in the village where you can pop into The White Horse Inn, a traditional country pub. Back on the farm you will have access to unique feeding experiences, yoga and pilates classes and for keen fishermen, there are three lakes to cast your line.
This award-winning set of holiday homes is the ideal family holiday destination on the Isle of Wight.
