Family holiday

Lovely property, and perfect for our stay. Clean, tidy and well equipped and good layout. With the milking parlour we even had a private garden and gated driveway area. A lovely base to explore the island from. The farm itself is a great place to spend time too, we loved the play area, forest walk, shop and of course seeing our first ted squirrels!

We loved The Garlic Farm

The Milking Parlour is perfect for a great holiday on the Isle of Wight. It is in a great position. The cottage is clean and adequately furnished. We had no complaints whatsoever. The view is amazing from the cottage. The added bonus was being able to have breakfast on site. The shop is amazing too - we never knew there are so many different garlics grown! We definitely recommend The Garlic Farm for a stay and we will definitely be back for another stay.

A fantastic stsy

Great location for getting around the island. Well equipped cottage. Lovely views over the fields opposite with horses and rabbits. Lovely walk around the farm, playground and a field by the cottage which the kids loved to play in. Breakfast at the restaurant was very good.

The Milking parlour at the Garlic farm

Beautiful location, lovely cottage, spotlessly clean. Everything there we needed, little extras too. Will definitely be going again. Disabled friendly. The only thing I would suggest is a seat in the shower of the en suite bathroom.

Our Fourth Stay

We love the garlic farm location and surroundings and hadn't stayed in this property before. I booked it as I thought it had a bigger garden for our dog, which it did, but it wasn't 100% secure for a small escape artist so we couldn't let him lose in the garden. He could have got out under the gate either side. The main gate had bamboo attached to it but it wasn't right to the ground and small dogs if inclined could get out. In hindsight we would have been better in one of the other cottages with a small back yard area. Cleanliness could have been better this time, there were a few things not very clean and spiders webs etc around. The only other thing I was disappointed was for clothes storage in the bunk room, there is a rickety chest of drawers which is very difficult to open and close, but no hanging space, with two teenagers staying in there it was difficult for their clothes. There is room in there if things were moved slightly to put a hanging rail. There were a few other things that would have just made it a bit better but I don't need to list them all. That's the main points but otherwise we loved our stay, the surroundings are lovely at the garlic farm and they put on a great halloween trail for the younger kids, it's so peaceful there to get away from our manic every day life. We had some nice walks in the woods. I did miss seeing the peacocks though don't know where they have gone. Also visited some nice spots around, highly recommend Quarr Abbey which was lovely. The boys did Karting for a couple of hours which was fun and golf at the driving range both next to Tesco, so if you are looking for teenage activities I would recommend those. Also Shanklin seafront had two big crazy golf courses. I am sure we will be back again soon as we love the IOW.

Lovely cottage and good location

Very much enjoyed our stay. Well equipped cottage but could do with a shelf for toiletries in en-suite and a mirror in 2nd bedroom. Very helpful owners - en-suite door stuck a bit and they solved the problem immediately. Very helpful visitor information was sent in advance to us and repeated as a book in the cottage- really good recommendations, especially Harvey Brown’s farm shop which we used each day. The on-site restaurant is good and very handy for lunch on arrival prior to check in. The on-site shop is good too - good for presents. Really nice walks around the farm - ideal for stretching the legs at the end of a day exploring the island in a car. The location is very peaceful and reasonably central so well placed for exploring the island. All in all we would definitely recommend this cottage and would definitely return on another visit to the island.

Fulfilled a wish

Have wanted to stay here for some years. Came for an anniversary. Was a few minor issues which we left private feedback for, hopefully they were addressed, If I hadn’t t had to mention these it would have had more 5 stars. I would stay here again.

Perfect place to stay

We had the perfect stay at the Milking Parlour at the Garlic Farm. The setting is impossible to beat being surrounded by the most beautiful countryside. The location is excellent for getting to different attractions on the island. The garlic farm restaurant on site serves absolutely delicious food but because the farm closes to the public at 5pm it is very quiet at night, including the road. You’re more likely to be woken by sound of birds than you are people or cars. The cottage itself was well appointed with everything we needed for our stay. It was clean and the beds were comfortable. You get your own private garden with seating and a bbq, perfect for the sunny evenings we had when we there. The check-in instructions sent in advance were clear and easy to follow. If you’re coming from the mainland be sure to get the garlic farm to book your ferry for you as this saved us nearly £100. Excellent accommodation that I would highly recommend.

Great short Easter break with the children

The accommodation was a great fit to our needs, was clean, easy to check-in and check out. There were a few Garlic Farm products on the dining table for us and some milk and basic bits to get going. The location was great and we had a great base. The Games Room was good and my 5 yr old loved it, there was less to entertain my 2 yr old and the playground could do with a slide and traditional type swing. We didn't get to meet our hosts - it would be lovely if they could pop by and say hi, although I do understand the benefit of being self-sufficient and enjoying family time just together. Thanks for a great stay and we'd certainly look to stay again with you on a visit to the Isle of Wight! Thanks.

Great short visit

This is our third visit overall to the Garlic Farm accommodation. It's in a beautiful spot centrally on the island with lovely cottages - I'm sure we'll be back for a fourth time.

Pre Christmas break

As always, just what we expected and received. Perfect place for a little wind down. The restaurant next door for a lovely breakfast. The owner and staff as always friendly. Will be booking in 3034 for the 4th time in a row, keep it reserved.

Family Memories

We visited the Garlic Farm for a family wedding. I was a bit optimistic as I'd never been to the garlic farm before but I must admit I was wrong. It was incredible. Onsite facilities were amazing! The Milking Parlour itself was basic but at such a high standard. The beds were ridiculously comfortable, the showers were to die for. It had everything you could need when staying away from home. I loved that the parking was out the back as if we didn't want to see anyone we didn't have to use the "front door" which over looks the restaurant. We stayed here with our daughter (2 adults and 1 child) and we didn't feel like we were on top of eachother. Our only downside is the kids play area could do with a few extra bits - our 6 year old was a bit bored after 2 goes on it. But we did the Halloween trail which was fun! We'll be back next year to try the yurts!

Relaxing two night break

We love the Garlic Farm and have visited many times, but never stayed, until now. It was a real treat to stay in the Milking Parlour in amongst the most beautiful countryside. Melanie was super helpful and the communication was spot on. Lovely welcome gifts on arrival were an added bonus. We will definitely be returning!

Absolutely love the Garlic farm & the accommodation was fabulous

I have visited the Garlic Farm and the restaurant on many occasions and absolutely love it there. I come home and rave about the quality of the food and the amazing atmosphere there and after seeing the Christmas menu on FB decided to book the Milking Parlour for a weekend stay with some girl friends. The accommodation was fabulous, spacious and comfortable with everything in it that you would need for a break or self catering holiday. I have learned from experience to book the garlic farm restaurant and so we had a lunch booking for afternoon tea, an evening booking for the Christmas mezze and a breakfast booking for the Sunday before we left. We pre-booked the hampers for the accommodation which were well thought out, good quality produce and provided us with a lovely lazy breakfast and snacks through the day. The morning visits from the Peacock and hens made our day and the ease of getting to the restaurant made for a lovely weekend which was thoroughly enjoyed by us all. The food and service as usual in the restaurant was fabulous and I can highly rate the Christmas Mezze. If I had to find fault I would say that I would have liked some more savoury and more typical 'garlic farm' items included in the afternoon tea (maybe the garlic fries, garlic bulb, garlic bread, scotch egg etc) and less sweet items, however I am aware that afternoon tea is generally made up of sweet rather than savoury and therefore am scaping the bottom of the barrel for a fault. As usual we had an amazingly relaxing and enjoyable weekend. Thank you Garlic Farm
