Whitwell, Near Ventnor, 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. 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. ![]() ![]()

Whitwell
is a pretty village with some stone and thatched cottages. It takes
its name from the White Well, a place of pilgrimage during mediaeval
times. The well can still be seen down a track opposite the church.
The pub in Whitwell, The White Horse Inn, claims to be the oldest on the Island with some of its walls dating back to the 15th Century. |
