"A lovely holiday in a beautiful setting. An ideal place to explore the Island. Our grandchildren loved the animals. A place to return to."
Mr & Mrs D & Family - Worcestershire

"Our first impression on driving in were "wow", what a fabulous setting. The photo's on the web site do not do it justice, especially as the poppies were flowering, it has to be seen to appreciate it all. The cottage is maintained to a high standard and is sited centrally on the Island so easy reach all round. We've awoken to new arrivals in the fields, alpaca, deer and geese, and Morris (the horse) looking in the back door from his field. Everyone we met on the farm were really friendly. We have recommended New Close to our friends already and will continue to do so....."
Mr & Mrs S & Family - Essex

Mr & Mrs G - Rutland

"Perfick!"
Mr & Mrs S - Milton Keynes

"We've had a great holiday! Cottage and surrounding are lovely and truly impressive on arrival. The weather has been just about perfect with lots of time spent on the lovely beaches. Children loved the animals, especially Morris (the horse) in his field behind the cottage. Thanks for a really lovely time.
Mr & Mrs H & Family - Cheshire

"We have really enjoyed our holiday here despite two days of non stop rain! The children have loved being on the farm and Merle has been up & out at 8am most mornings. Compton Bay - busy but a great beach; Ventnor Botanical Gardens - a real find & Steephill Cove; Carisbrooke Castle well worth a visit; Amazon World - a good wet-weather option with youngish children."

"Fantastic stay, very peaceful. Best pub - Crab & Lobster, Bembridge, very baby friendly, also Wheatsheaf in Yarmouth. Walks, one around footpaths from cottage to Tennyson Trail and back around Carisbrooke Castle; Newport to Cowes along cycle track excellent for buggies. Osbourne House great for a rainy day - good lunch in Terrace Restaurant. A relaxing week and great first holiday for Alice (15 wks). Thanks for everything.
