Myself and my colleague had organised a business get together on the Island and chose the Garlic Farm accommodation because it offered quality accommodation in a beautiful setting and central location. We were looked after before, during and when we left our cottages, their attention to detail was amazing and exceeded our visitors expectations. The grounds were beautiful, the on site cafe food was delicious, the shop offered loads of garlic choices and the surrounding area was stunning. Mill Cottage was full of character and set over many floors, it was fitted out very well and had a beautiful garden over looking the surrounding hills and the farm. I would recommend the accommodation for a business get together, family stay or a weekend with a group of friends. You will not be disappointed, we will be returning very soon.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Garlic Farm, the cottage was great and the surrounding area peaceful. It was just what we needed and would definitely return, our dog loved her first holiday away as she had an enclosed garden where she could sit and watch the red squirrels and the rabbits and there were great local walks I could take her on to finish her day off.

The whole family enjoyed their time at the farm. The cottage easily accommodated all 6 of us. Great to have 3 bathrooms and toilets. Parking for both our cars was ideal. Peaceful location. Great to have the Garlic Restaurant to go to for breakfast. On the whole delighted with our experience. Hope to return again in the near future.

Great location.
Very disappointed with the accommodation. We had to clean the kitchen on arrival and hoover the house.
It was also covered in spiders and cobwebs.
We had an ant problem in the ensuite and looks like most ants had been sprayed and were stuck to the ceiling and walls so this problem was clearly known about before we entered the accommodation.
Bread bin was stinking again with creepy crawlies in it.
Very poor and worn for the price. Really disappointed we spent over £2500 and I have stayed in far better accommodation for far less.

We have stayed in many Air bnb/cottages and I can honestly say this has been one of the best equipped, informed and comfortable. Plenty of info given locally and around the island, nothing lacking in the kitchen or bathrooms, and even free gifts from the farm! Beds extremely comfortable. Any questions or issues dealt with very swiftly. Located in a stunning setting, beautifully maintained, with easy access to many beaches, and dog friendly - couldn’t ask for more and definitely will return - thank you team!

Had a wonderful 5 day stay in Mill Cottage. Was blessed with great weather throughout. The Garlic Farm is ideally located to visit major attractions like Carisbrooke Castle, Osbourne House, Ventnor etc etc. Tried out the recommended dining spots, all were very good, but the Bonchurch Inn was a real gem. Great running trails near the property and lots of red squirrels spotted. Look forward to returning one day.

We - four friends and a dog - spent a very happy long weekend in Mill Cottage recently. The cottage itself is well appointed, clean and comfortable. The location was perfect for us and we loved the rural setting. The enclosed garden was great for the dog and we enjoyed a fabulous jazz evening at The Garlic Farm restaurant (despite a power cut) on Saturday night and a delicious breakfast on Sunday morning. AND we saw red squirrels! We would definitely stay here again and will recommend to others.

My friends and I had the. most marvelous time at the cottages. Not only was the checkin/checkout process extremely easy, but the cottages themselves were clean, comfortable, and just what you imagine when you book a stay at a country estate. We even had welcome gifts from the farm shop on the kitchen tables when we arrived. The property is gorgeous, with lots to do and see. We brought our labrador with us as well, and she had a great time too. We will be coming back without a doubt - this is a beautiful property with the friendliest staff/owners. I'd recommend anyone to stay here.

We've just come back from a two night stay here. Absolutely amazing place to stay, waking up to Peacocks, chickens and horses. Spacious cottage, very clean, lots of added extras. Great customer service from all staff.
Games room was great and a lovely addition.
Only one downsize was the beds were creaky.
Would highly recommend and will definitely be staying again

I recently hired the Garlic Farm accommodation for my 40th birthday celebration.

The Accommodation team were brilliant at helping us put on an amazing event and catering to our guest’s individual needs. Friends and family members having been raving about the experience in the weeks afterwards.

The site is stunning, there are plenty of activities for children and adults and the accommodation is very well maintained. The communal yurt proved to be a real hub of fun and activity throughout our weekend.

We will not hesitate to book again.

My family and I stayed in Mill Cottage at the garlic farm this August. The accommodation is beautiful, a traditional, cosy home from home. We enjoyed a daily walk around the woods squirrel spotting, a ride on the tractor/trailer, gorgeous evening meal and a family breakfast during the stay and our 8 and 10 year old loves the independence of playing in the games room and popping to the shop for us in the mornings for delish garlic products for the week! The farm feels homely, friendly it’s kept immaculately and is a constant treat. The farm is surrounded with walls, restaurants, pubs and attractions and beaches within a 10 minute drive. We fell in love with the place and plan to return. Thank you Boswell family we had a wonderful break with you xxx

We came to Mill Cottage as a family of 4 for a mid-week summer holiday visit. The location of the cottage is great, close to the ferry, close to all the main attractions we wanted to go to as a family, and easy to access / park.

Cottage is great for a family trip - very cosy and clean, well equipped kitchen, lots of space for family spread over many floors which is great to prevent noise travelling too much.

Being on the farm was brilliant - amazing restaurant, cafe and farm shop, also play area for the kids and entertainment on certain days.

We decided to have another short break on The Isle of Wight and there was only one choice of where we wanted to stay that being The Garlic Farm.
We stayed about six months ago in Barn Cottage which was just as the 'label' described. This cottage was not available for our dates so we decided to go for Mill Cottage which was available. When we arrived it was just as Barn Cottage, well equipped, welcoming, peaceful and just what we required for a relaxing stay in the perfect central location to explore this beautiful island.
We had a great four day break and will certainly be returning to The Garlic Farm for another visit in the near future.

The cottage is lovely, great location. Not ideal for guests with mobility issues inside the cottage though, as various areas with steps.
The TV didn't work, which was notified, and someone came to look at it, but didn't get fixed.
The lounge is much smaller than the pictures however we had a lovely stay and the garlic farm restaurant is fabulous.

A fantastic place to stay! There is so much character and comfort in the cottages and the facilities to keep the kids occupied was great.
The location was good - however, you do need to have a car if you want to travel anywhere for dinner in the evening as there is nothing nearby safe to walk to.
We were due to have a dinner at the Garlic Farm restaurant on the Saturday night but unfortunately it was cancelled (due to Covid) which would have really topped off the stay - it would be great if it was open on either Friday or Saturday evenings, especially for the guest staying there.
However, we did have the most amazing cake there on a Sunday afternoon instead - totally recommend the carrot cake!

This was our second family holiday in this cottage (so you can tell we like it!). It is well equipped with a comfortable outdoor-seating area that overlooks a grassy play area which is great for overseeing our children playing. The location is great - we love The Garlic Farm itself and had a delicious breakfast during our stay. We were treated to the sounds of opera in the park on the Saturday evening, which was a treat! Other than that the cottage is very quiet despite its situation on The Garlic Farm. Access to great beaches is only a 15-20 minute drive away.

Second year we stayed at Mill Cottage. It was lovely, only thing missing was a hairdryer but luckily I bought one with. The only other minor complaint are the peacocks…..they are beautiful and it is lovely to see them wondering around but they really make a noise at night and early hours of the morning !!!! Otherwise perfect.

We all enjoyed our stay, lovely walks and delicious breakfast.

Love The Garlic Farm and had a comfortable stay at Mill Cottage. No review of service because we really didn't need any - just left the keys in the cottage on our day of departure.
Value for money was not quite a 5 because I think we booked well in advance and paid more than we did for the much larger Old Farmhouse in 2019. I think because of the season, no restaurant in the evening and no music concert like the one we enjoyed in September 2019. However, the farm is as beautiful as before - perhaps fresher and greener in the spring weather. Love the peacocks too. We hope to return in the next year or two.
Thank you.
One peculiarity - the kitchen tap runs when the bath taps are on. There was no way to turn it off until the taps upstairs were turned off. Not a problem for us but could be an issue if the kitchen tap is in the wrong position, not over the sink...

There were 14 of us staying at the Garlic Farm, 6 in Mill cottage, our daughter and family at the Kiln next door so the children could pop in and our other family at a yurt. They loved the fields for playing cricket, the tennis court and the well equipped games room! The yurt had a hot tub which we really enjoyed. We were all warm in the cottages and the yurt had a lovely log burner. We had delicious breakfasts at the farm restaurant. We all had a wonderful time!

Loved every aspect of our stay.
Possibly the only thing we thought was a bit odd is that we checked in, stayed for 4 nights, and checked out again, without any personal contact from anyone at The Garlic Farm) - other than the staff in the restaurant when we went over each morning for breakfast, and the cleaners waiting to come in at 10am on the dot when we were leaving!

Our stay at the Garlic Farm was brilliant! Being able to bring our dog was a real bonus. All the staff on the Farm were kind, cheerful and helpful. The meals at the restaurant were fantastic and really good value. We much enjoyed the nature walk with Dave Fairlamb and learned a lot about the Island and its flora and fauna. We'll recommend the Garlic Farm to our children and grandchildren and we'll return.
Meantime, much garlic to plant in Devon........

This was a great place for a short break in a very comfortable cottage on this delightful farm with a very good restaurant for breakfast: brunch. Lovely walks along well maintained paths with beautiful views. Very peaceful location with good amenities including a farm shop selling garlic of course.

Mill cottage proved to be all we expected of a farm holiday stay, albeit a garlic farm! The accommodation was excellent, with a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge and lovely small terrace with seating overlooking the enclosed garden and paddock beyond. Just ideal for Pepsi and Megan, who enjoyed their stay as much as we did. The bedrooms were comfortable and washing facilities really good. Beyond the cottage, we thought the shop and restaurant were excellent, with particularly good service at Sunday lunch, when we were a party of 10 and we had no waiting around. The staff were friendly and helpful, all you want from a holiday stay. We would happily come to stay again.

Leading away from the farm were some good footpaths for dog walking.

A couple of small suggestions (there always are!) - could do with a hand towel and dustpan and brush in the kitchen, and one of us was disappointed that the trailer excursion around the farm had ended early in the season.

Mill Cottage is a very beautiful cottage and in an excellent position to access various parts of the Isle of Wight. It had lots of space for us and our dog and sitting in the garden watching the peacocks and red squirrels was wonderful. It gets very dark there so it is possible to see the night sky which was fascinating! The beds were nice and comfortable and the showers were nice and hot and a good pressure. The broadband was fast which was another plus for us. It is only a short walk to the Garlic Farm and its excellent restaurant and shop which we recommend. There are many walks around the farm too, perfect for walking the dogs. In fact it was a nice dog friendly place. It was lovely and peaceful there, we loved it and will definitely be booking again.

We are just back from a one week stay at The Garlic Farm, staying in Mill Cottage. The Garlic Farm is in a good location for visiting around the island and the setting of the cottages (and The Garlic Farm) is in lovely countryside.
Mill Cottage was perfect for us - a well equipped kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine; 3 good sized, comfortable bedrooms with 3 bathrooms.
Facilities around the property include a tennis court and a small games room. There is also the farm cafe, restaurant and farm shop selling garlic products. Unfortunately, due to Covid staff shortages, our restaurant booking was cancelled but these facilities are clearly very popular - lots of people visit, though this didn't encroach on our space and privacy.
We all said we'd like to make a return visit in the future - a great place for a family holiday.

Had a wonderful week at Mill Cottage on The Garlic Farm. The cottage was really well appointed, comfortable, cosy and very clean. The location is perfect for lovely long walks with the dogs, peaceful days and for yummy food in the cafe. Just lovely highly recommended.

The cottage was delightful, in an excellent position and had everything we could have asked for. Lovely walks for our dog and loved having the peacocks around. The fact that if we wanted we could go to the restaurant for a breakfast was just a very short walk away. Would definitely book to come back.

A great location for a holiday. This is the second time that we have stayed in Mill Cottage. We received a lovely welcome on arrival. The cottage was clean, spacious and well equipped. New showers installed since our last stay. The enclosed garden has benefitted from the trees being reduced in height letting even more light into the cottage. We enjoyed the many walks on site and saw a great amount of wildlife. We also made use of the free games room on site. Looking forward to our next visit.

First impressions not great - very dark, but we soon got used to it and found it a very comfortable living space for 6 adults.
A major issue with one shower was dealt with very efficiently.
Hugo, Melanie and Hugo's parents were very helpful and very welcoming.
We will be returning to Mill Cottage very soon and are looking forward to it.
The Garlic Farm is a great location with excellent recreational facilities.

We had a wonderful 4 nights with friends. We love the farm and the beautiful countryside round it. The cottage was clean and cosy and kitchen well equipped. We had a super lunch and also great tapas evening in the restaurant where they are dealing well with Covid restrictions. All the staff friendly and helpful. Also had a super ready meal left for us in fridge. Slight hiccup was it turned out to be cottage pie and not fish as ordered but it was excellent! Will be back.

Great communication from the Garlic farm from time of booking. The accommodation was well equipped and spacious. Even though we were a short distance from the main farm attraction we did not see or hear anyone from our cottage. There were several walks around the farm, short and long giving an opportunity to take in the fantastic views. A tennis court, football pitch and games room were available to use at no additionsl cost. A farmshop was on site selling local produce along with many garlic themed items. A restaurant was available but we did not use.A guide was provided giving details of local attractions, pubs and restaurants. The Garlic Farm was covid friendly throughout.

As a party of 4. We had loads of space to relax in this 3 bed cottage.
Great location for exploring the island.
A car is a must although lots of public transport going between the main towns.
Only one little blip was pizza night. More than two booking times required . Need to invest in more pizza ovens and keep some frozen gluten free bases in a freezer for emergencies. We would definitely go back.

We were met by Colin who made us very welcome at the outset and set the tone for an excellent stay. We were a group of 15, staying in 5 cottages and nothing was too much trouble for Melanie and Hugo... they communicated with us well ahead of our arrival and were accessible throughout our week-long stay. I found myself regretting that we had no youngsters with us as there would have been so much for them to do! The evening of Jazz and pizza was truly memorable - thank you, Alan and the Hope Trust Team :0)

The cottage was well appointed and comfortable, but it was rather dark being surrounded by tall trees, so we took most of our meals in another cottage, with other family members. We ordered food from Jenny's kitchen, which was very good but too spicey for small children. The facilities are very good with lovely walks for our dog and the odd cameo appearance from the peacock and peahen.
The owners were very understanding as they allowed us to cancel one booking at the last moment due to quarantine being imposed on a family member coming from abroad.

Our first time on the Isle of Wight and we were not disappointed. Mill Cottage on the Garlic Farm was the perfect base for our family. Clean, spacious and lots of outdoor options to keep our 3 boys busy. Dinner on site was excellent as was the ability to pop in for a proper coffee in the mornings. Even thought the farm can sleep up to 50 we never felt we were there with anyone else, as the design of the accommodation makes you feel quite secluded. We only wish we could have persuaded others to join us and then we could have taken the larger cottage with the hot tub.

We thoroughly enjoyed our three night stay on the garlic farm. The location is absolutely gorgeous and it is so peaceful. It’s a great central location for exploring the Island.
The cottage was well equipped and clean.
We also really enjoyed the food in the restaurant, it’s absolutely delicious and the staff are all friendly and helpful. The social distancing measures that the farm has put in place work very well and put you at ease.
Thank you to the team at The Garlic Farm for a lovely mini-break.

What a lovely place. It was our first time in the Isle of Wight and chose to stay in this beautiful and peaceful Garlic Farm. The location was ideal near the central area of IOW.
Lovely farm animals, plenty of walks and breakfast was delicious. Only gripe was, we should have stayed longer to explore more beautiful walks and enjoy other festivities. The owners made it easy for us, settling in the cottage, provided welcome gifts and arranged ferry tickets. We had ample space in our cottage for two people and our two dogs. Will go back again!

Mill Cottage was a lovely surprise, much better than I had hoped for. The house is well laid out giving space for our party of four adults and one very active toddler. The kitchen was well equipped and the house had everything that we needed. The surroundings are nothing short of stunning with the plants, trees and wildlife. We could watch the red squirrels from the lounge and kitchen, the peacocks were very well behaved and the cattle, horses and chickens entertained us as well.
We chose to have breakfast in the cafe which was excellent. In the evenings we had meals provided by Jenny. They were really tasty and made it a holiday for me too.
Our holiday was one of the wettest Octobers that I can remember but there is so much to do on the Isle of Wight that the weather didn’t make a difference.

Quiet, roomy and, with 3 bathrooms, perfect for our short break with 6 adults. Kitchen well equipped, seating 6 comfortably.
A couple of the bathrooms were a little 'tired' but perfectly adequate.
Hosts were really helpful throughout booking and stay.
Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and hope to stay again.

We have just spent a wonderful week on the IOW based in a lovely quirky cottage at the Garlic Farm. The cottage was well equipped and spacious with ample room for 3 generations. The Garlic Farm itself is fairly centrally located with a number of attractions to suit all ages all within a short drive. During our stay we ate in the restaurant which serves delicious food, attended a wonderful pizza and jazz evening, walked a few of the local walks, played in the games room, fed the chickens, peacocks and pigeons as well as visiting Blackgang Chine , Robin Hill Country Park, The Donkey Sanctuary, Amazon Zoo, The Needles, played crazy golf at Sandown, ate a lovely meal in Shanklin to name just a few highlights ! All in all a great time was had by all!

We’ve just returned from a fabulous week at the Garlic Farm staying in Mill cottage.
Our party consisted of three adults a five year old and a baby and the property was perfect in terms of size, layout and facilities. The walls and doors are thick and soundproof meaning babies can sleep without being disturbed, the showers powerful and the bathrooms plentiful. The kitchen is really well equipped too, although there are so many great places to eat out you rarely need it. The Boswell’s were the most friendly and helpful hosts and made us feel really welcome. I’d definitely recommend this as a great base to explore the island and chill out and enjoy farm. Perfect for families and groups of friends. The food in the restaurant is very good as are the ready meals you can preorder! We will definitely be back.

We regularly order products from the Garlic Farm's on line site and when it came round to booking a weekend away for a birthday celebration we thought we would try out the accommodation on the farm. We were delighted from the moment we drove on to the farm. The cottage was amazing, spacious, clean and had everything we needed. We'd pre-ordered a hamper and a couple of Jenny's prepared meals (see extras) which were delicious. We ate in the restaurant and enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and the food. All the staff on the farm are friendly and helpful. We're planning to make it an annual event!

There were a few small areas of wear and tear that could be addressed (some tiles missing in the kitchen, the rail in one of the wardrobes had a lot of paint peeling off in large chunks, the shower doors in the large en suite didn't close properly meaning the floor got very wet as water would escape).
It would be really helpful if there was some children's crockery available for meals - such as bowls, cups and plates as we were very nervous during meal times that the children may break those In the cottage!
Overall we had a wonderful and comfortable stay in the cottage and can't wait to visit again. The horses, peacocks and Guinea pigs were a huge hit! And the owners were very responsive and helpful with any queries that arose. Fabulous.

What attention to detail and the right level of comfort that suited a large range of needs, from babies and pregnant women, to tall excited men! We had such a wonderful time, to be able to hire a few cottages and have us all around one huge table was also a treat.

The facilities were excellent with everything thought of.
The hot tub and new orchard are beautiful additions, A perfect spot to stay in and cosy up by the fire with a book in peace, or head out for a walk to some great pubs and beaches.

Spacious and well equipped with comfortable beds and lovely hot, powerful showers in a beautiful setting.
The Garlic Farm is well located for reaching all areas of the island.
The lantern walk was a big hit with our 4 year old, as was the games room!
We are keen to return in the future.

Stunning location and really interesting accommodation. There were 26 of us and this was just perfect to suit us all. There is lots to do, and it's brilliant for kids. We had beautiful weather so went to different amazing beaches every day-all such a close drive away. Hugo was very accommodating and on hand for any help we needed. The Mill Cottage was comfortable and well equipped. Would definitely go again!

The cottage was all that we remembered. Clean, comfortable and well placed. Everybody makes us feel welcome and the discount for shop and cafe add an extra sparkle. Great breakfasts and a well stocked shop.
Only downside was the unfortunate road closure through Newchurch but not the farms fault and soon resolved.
The Pointer Inn gives very good meals but is busy and needs booking.
Thanks to all.

We had a lovely few days at Mill Cottage.
Location is excellent - pretty central with lots of attractions within reach.
The Garlic Farm itself occupied plenty of our time too - not least the woodlands around the farm trails, which the children loved exploring, making dens etc.
The cottage itself was good - comfortable, cosy and quiet. Only slight gripe would be that the crockery, cutlery and glassware were dirty on arrival. I suspect the dishwasher has seen better days!

Amazing place! Beautiful and peaceful setting with lots of wildlife and country walks. Tennis courts, football pitch and games room which kept the kids entertained. Would definitely come back!

The garlic farm is a charming and beautiful family run place, we had a lovely few days there and would happily return for longer. They took good care of us, the cottage was cozy, and the animals on the farm and the game room were a big hit with the kids.

Amazingly beautiful and relaxed stay at The Garlic Farm Mill Cottage. Great location views and very relaxing. Super welcome from the family with superb holiday cottages and Yurts. Super countryside surroundings with wildlife in abundance. The Mill cottage very clean and comfortable. 3 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. Warm and cosy in the evenings. Torches provided for dark evenings. Breakfast a must in The Garlic Farm cafe, start the day with a hearty garlic fuelled sausage or bacon ciabatta...delicious, maybe spot a red squirrel. Well run and looked after. Thoroughly recommend this place and we live fed it and will be going back.

We were three generations of a family over to celebrate a 50th birthday. The cottage worked beautifully with 3bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The grandchildren loved the playroom and the freedom. The added bonus was having a wonderful breakfast in the restaurant. Excellent walks for the dog. Thoroughly recommend Mersley Farm cottages.

The Garlic Farm is a fantastic place to stay, we were so pleased we booked, it was even better than we expected. The setting is beautiful, there's so much to see and do on the stay, tracker ride, lovely cafe, garlic tasting experience, great shop, see the horses, feed the chickens and enjoy a lovely breakfast overlooking the views. All the staff were friendly and helpful and the cottage was very cosy and comfortable and had all you needed plus a small garden. We will be back!
