I honestly can’t fault this place, a great experience. Very comfortable. Everything you need provided as well, i.e milk, salt, pepper etc. Try the restaurant for breakfast as well, excellent food. Saw red squirrels in first 5 minutes of being there, amazing.

Our recent stay at the Garlic Farm was our second stay in one their Yurts. We stayed in Yurt Eric which was ideal for the two if us. Though it easily accommodates families too. The yurt was well equipped and fire pit was fabulous. We used it every evening. The yurts are well spaced and you don’t get a feeling of being hemmed in.
We are already trying to plan a trip with our family ( daughters and grandchildren)next year.
The Garlic Farm restaurant is excellent and their breakfasts are amazing and set you up for a good day of walking. In brief, a great place to spend a few days.

I'd never stayed in a yurt before and was surprised by the space inside. There was some traffic noise which was surprising, but it didn't spoil the location. The Garlic Farm is an interesting place with lovely walks around and close to some pretty beaches.

The yurts are well apart, so feels spacious and private. The grounds are beautiful. Excellent facilities for tennis, kicking ball on football field, and there’s a well-equipped games room.
Red squirrels a bonus!

We didn't take a car as we only went for 2 days. We got a taxi from the ferry-quite reasonable £15-20. If we were going for longer we would definitely take a car - there is plenty of parking space- so we could tour the Island.
Everyone on the farm were very helpful. Yurt was lovely and certainly benefited from having a shower and toilet.

This yurt is perhaps the smaller of the 5, but still plenty of space for a long weekend for our family of 4. A very comfortable double bed and the kids were happy on their mattresses on the mezzanine. Everything you’d need in the kitchen - although we were part of a larger group and also spent a lot of time in the very large and lovely communal area for all our meals. The games room was great for the kids. And we all enjoyed the tennis court and football pitch too.

Lovely weekend with grandchildren in yurt Eric. Yurt was spotlessly clean, roomy, well equipped in spacious plot in beautiful surroundings. Children loved their mezzanine bedroom and made good use of the games room, tennis court and play equipment. They were sad to leave and can't wait to visit yurt Eric again soon.

We hired all yurts from Friday to Sunday and our stay was perfect. Each yurt was so well equipped. The site had everything we needed.
The hosts were amazing and came to check on us.
Out of 16 people, not one complaint from any of the yurts about the accommodation.
It was the perfect set up for our festival hen party.

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.

Wow what a place! A group of 15 of us booked out all of the Yurts so that we would have the communal area to ourselves which was a huge selling point. The Yurts themselves are incredible and you can tell no expense was spared when kitting out the place. We loved the little touches from hot water bottles on beds to free samples from the farm shop.. it was all these bits that made it stand out In the communal area there was a hugeee BBQ perfect for us all and a table which fit 15 perfectly, enough logs to keep us going for the weekend and fridges galore for the volume of prosecco we brought.
The team were amazing, loved the ease of self check in and we even had silent disco equipment delivered before we arrived which they had set out for our arrival. We also went to breakfast on the last day at their restaurant and it was amazing, made even better by the discount we received to due staying on site.
I honestly couldn't recommend this place more, driving in the whole field and set up blows your mind... social media pics and their website does not do it justice! We had the best hen weekend and I truly believe the biggest highlight was the accomodation, there's no doubt in my mind we'll be back!

Had a lovely break in Eric Yurt. Weather not so kind sadly. Yurt cosy especially with wood burner which was needed in July! Few things a little tired in the Yurt which was a shame chair and bed broke!
Great place to say as well located and a really peaceful chilled ambience loved the visiting rabbits and red squirrels everyday.

We hired all of the Yurts at the Garlic Farm for a party over the weekend. The accommodation was perfect. Each Yurt has a well equipped kitchen, bathroom and comfortable beds. The hot tubs were amazing. We had breakfast in the restaurant - highly recommend their granola! The farm was so lovely with lots of animals and things to do and see. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a break on the Isle of Wight!

Yurt was lovely with good oven, tea making facilities, shower, double bed and single beds up stairs holding up to 5 or 6 people in total, suspended egg chair, clean and tidy with treats such as garlic farm chutneys, pickles, fig dressing, IOW milk and a welcome booklet to flick through. Tennis court, football pitch, games room with pool table, fooseball, air hock and table tennis. A separate laundry room and beautiful walks all around the glamping site. With the garlic farm restaurant where you can hear the live music like we did on the Sunday of our stay, It was absolutely lush.

We booked this last minute get away for the family and would definitely visit again.
Booking was easy and customer service outstanding. We got detailed instructions on how to get to the yurt and even got our ferry tickets booked for us at a great price.
On arrival, the yurt was cosy, clean and tidy and contained everything we needed for our two night stay, even a hairdryer and hot water bottles. The fire place was all ready to be lit and instruction booklet helped us to get it going easily. I was also really impressed with the garlic farm treats and fresh milk that had been left for us on our arrival. Outside we made use of the fire pit and youngsters got excited about the hammock. BBQ would have been used too, had we stayed a bit longer. Only downside was that our fairy lights outside weren't working but only because they made the other yurts look pretty in the dark, so actually it made no difference to our stay.
The garlic farm is a wonderful location. There are lovely farm walks and the restaurant is just amazing with such friendly staff. The welcome booklet also recommended various pubs and places to visit so even during a longer stay, we would not be bored.
All and all a great couple of days away and we will be booking again.

We didn’t want to leave the Garlic Farm! Everything was so perfect and well equipped, the kids and adults could relax, play, be active as much or little as we liked. We were a big group and the communal area worked so well for us to make wonderful memories together.

Loved the new edition of the extra hot tub.
Really wonderful! Thank you Garlic Farm team; nothing is too much trouble. We will be booking again for sure.

We had such a lovely stay at The Garlic Farm with our two young sons. Idyllic location: the boys played outside on the grass, loved the chickens, and explored the football pitch and the playground. The yurt is so cosy and well equipped - we had everything we could need. And so clean! We just can’t wait to come back - hopefully with a hot tub next time!

We had a wonderful stay in Yurt Eric with our nearly 2 year old. It was a great family stay. The Yurt itself was cozy, although the weather was chilly in the evenings, the wood stove really warmed it up. We loved having a small kitchen and it was great that a cot and highchair were provided for our child. The fire pit was also nice and near the yurt, so we could even sit by the fire after putting our child down for sleep. The Farm was also great for little ones, every morning we walked around to see the animals. The only downside was the restaurant / cafe did not open until 9am (so bring morning snacks if you have a little one).

Yurt Eric was equipped with everything we needed; it was also very clean and the bedding was spotless. The food at the Garlic Farm restaurant is really lively, so we breakfasted there and in the evening cooked local produce on the BBQ and start by the firepit, watching the stars and wildlife; life doesn’t get much better than this.

The location of the Garlic Farm yurts is very good with a lot to see and do in the surrounding area. We were extremely disappointed by the cleanliness of the yurt. On arrival, the doormat was completely dirty and being washable, really should have been washed before we arrived. The hob had dried on food stuck to it and the yurt walls around the bin had food stains up them. We had to wash each glass, cup, plate and bowl before we used them as again, they had deposits of food etc on them. The toilet was absolutely disgusting and looked as though it had never seen a cleaning product before.

My family (2 adults, 2 boys) stayed in Yurt Eric on the last weekend of October for Halloween. We love the garlic farm and its surroundings, such a wonderful tranquil place to stay - we were delighted to find somewhere to escape to which felt like a little holiday during all the various Covid restrictions. The yurt was fabulous, and so cozy in the awful weather - we had the wood burner going the whole time. Perfect for a family of 4, and our boys thought it was so exciting to sleep on the mezzanine level. We also enjoyed the games room when it was raining, and the football pitch and wandering around the fields.
The customer service was also amazing, with nothing too much trouble to make sure that we enjoyed our stay - even finding us some batteries for our Halloween lights!
The planned Blue Moon event was cancelled due to the appalling weather, but the restaurant still welcomed us for an evening meal which was lovely. Overall, a really great stay in a lovely place.

Gorgeous yurts, so convenient to have kitchen and toilet facilities in there, comfy beds. TGF restaurant is excellent. A lovely big field for the kids to play in, a games room, park, football pitch and tennis court. The hosts are around to make sure everything is ok. Fabulous!

The yurts are located in a beautiful setting sheltered by surrounding trees. The yurts are nicely spaced out to provide you with privacy. One of my favourite features was the fire pits located outside the yurts that provided a focal point for keeping warm outside on an evening.
We had a minor issue with the shower but this was sorted promptly by the lovely hosts that are always on hand to help out.

We stayed over a long weekend in July. The Yurts are great fun and well-equipped and Melanie the host super friendly and helpful. The tennis court and very well-equipped games room were an unexpected bonus and the Garlic Farm itself is just lovely. Well worth a visit!

A perfect short stay in beautiful and natural surroundings. Enjoyed the authenticity of staying at a working farm and being surrounded by nature.

Once we got the hang of the wood burner the Yurt was surprisingly cosy and we managed to keep warm and I can imagine in better weather it would be a great place for a short break or holiday.
We only found the glove for the stove as we were about to leave, it was under the wood burner and we could have done with some sort of mat inside the door but apart from that the Yurt was very well equipped and comfortable.

Garlic Farm is a wonderful place - so many facilities and things to do - and the yurts themselves are fantastic; thoughtfully kitted out and tastefully decorated. It was so much fun making hot water bottles and cooking in the little kitchen and bedding down for the night in the glow of the woodburner.
Take slippers though the floors of the yurt get very cold.
The management / owners have provided a compost bin, recycling bin and general waste bin - although I discovered when I returned to the yurt to retrieve some lost property that the cleaning staff had not bothered with the recycling nor compost and had simply put all into the general waste bin - a shame (and it seems my careful separation and rinsing of plastic had been for nothing).
The restaurant breakfast was superlative and the menu was chic. The shop is a treasure trove for all things garlic.
Our kids loved the games room (complete with ping pong and wii) and the footy pitch. The only thing missing was a hot tub, in our opinion.
Despite the excellent location close to Robin Hill and Asda, Model village (Godstone is beautiful) there was a lot of road noise - presumably because the yurt ring was in the bottom of a valley. Not a problem for us but just an observation.
All staff were lovely. I would definitely return - with slippers and slip on outdoor shoes for runs to the wood shed!

Despite horrendous weather, the team at Garlic Farm made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. They contacted us in advance to highlight they would meet us to shuttle us to the yurt in a 4x4 and to recommend appropriate footwear. Yurt was lovely and had everything we need. Customer service was exceptional. Would recommend the offer to assist in achieving a discount for the ferry is highlighted on the website or emailed on booking as by the time we received the email we’d already booked.

We stayed in a yurt at the Garlic Farm during early October. It was a little cold and if you can’t light the fire you may find it uncomfortable - luckily we got the hang of it eventually! And the hot water bottles helped us keep warm overnight. The bed was comfortable, the wooden sofa less so, and we did miss having a TV - but all other amenities were good including a nice hot shower. The location is beautiful and the Garlic Farm itself sells the most fantastic food. One thing I’d add is that if you’re not happy with bugs (daddy longlegs, woodlice, etc) this isn’t the place for you, as there were quite a few in our yurt during our stay.

We had a glorious 3 day holiday at the Garlic Farm last year and this year was even better as we brought 12 others with us and it lived up to expectations once again. The yurts are exceptional and worth the extra money you pay over other types of glamping. Perfect for couples, or like us a family of 5 with 3 kids. There is plenty to do at the Farm that you don't actually need, or want, to leave! Tennis, football, pool, table tennis, relaxing hammocks, fire pits, BBQs, marshmallow eating, starry nights with drink in hand, exploring the woods and grounds. The staff were excellent and very accommodating and the restaurant and cafe served lovely food. Can't wait to go back next year!

We had a great couple of days. Fantastic yurt, facilities and weather. Great location to go off and explore the Island. The children loved the tennis courts, football pitch and games room. Our favourite thing was roasting marshmallows in the evening on the fire pit outside our yurt. We will definitely come again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our last minute stay at the yurts on the farm. The yurt itself was beautifully cosy and we enjoyed keeping warm by the cosy farm. We took our 3 month old along and the garlic farm catered brilliantly for him, providing a travel cot and bedding for him to sleep in. We really appreciated the ease of the accommodation with the ensuite shower room and lovely little kitchenette. We made full use of the brilliant games room, tennis court and beautiful walks in the grounds. Will definitely come again, thanks for a wonderful stay!!

Stayed for half term weekend away in Eric the Yurt. What a fantastic & fabulous retreat this place is- everything you could possibly want with the added thoughtful and considerate touches provided by Mel & Hugo. A gem of a holiday location with great food, great play & yurts to die for. Couldn’t have wished for better. Kids so happy which makes for a fab break. Would recommend highly & can’t wait to come back for more.

We had a great week in a yurt at the garlic farm. The fixtures and fittings were really top quality and we had all the equipment we needed to enjoy the yurt and the outdoors. We had a great evening around the fire pit and BBQ and were always cosy over night with plenty of bedding and hotties provided. The loo was great but the hot water to the shower was a bit hit and miss. Overall a really great stay and we would definitely book again.

Our first experience of glamping. We took our 4 year old grandson on our first experience of glamping and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Only had 4 days on IOW but found loads to keep him occupied. The glamping experience was great and the owners of the Garlic farm made us feel very welcome.

Great experience staying at The Garlic Farm Yurts, home from home in idylic surroundings. The yurts are cosy yet contemporary with a hot running shower & flushing toilet, kitchen & all essential utensils + everything you need for the log burner should it get chilly. By far the best way to do glamping especially with attentive, helpful & friendly customer service. Breakfast is a must, just delicious again with spot on service. Perfect for families or even couples wanting a break away. Thank you to The Garlic Farm for a lovely stay.

This was our second visit to the garlic farm after an amazing first visit earlier in the year. We again had an amazing time. The yurts are stunning and the area just beautiful. The restaurant, play area, closest beach and all beautiful.
We found that we preferred the Upper yurt to the top yurt. Mainly because of the lack of storage in the top yurt. The upper yurt has a chest of drawers in which to put out clothes but the top yurt didn’t have anywhere. I had piles all over the floor. Also the upper yurt has its own hammock and swing which the top yurt didn’t.
My children adore the camp fires, collecting wood from the wood hut and cooking under the stars.
This time we made use of the games room as the weather wasn’t so good. It’s a lovely room with lots to do.
We will definitely be back and ate keep to try out the middle yurt as it appears to have an extra room on the back?

Great place, Yurts are awesome, Breakfast was very good, walking to the pointer inn pub was not as bad as we first thought it would be and the food there was also very good. Would recommend to friends and go back ourselves if we ever stay on the Island again.

Booked the Yurt as a treat for my daughter ages 5 & 8. They were so excited and the Yurt didn't disappoint! Beautiful tranquil surroundings where the kids could run and play without fear of roads, Peacocks freely roaming, Play area, games room, lots of lovely scenic walks - beautiful area!
The Yurt itself was immaculate, and had everything we needed.
The hammocks and fire pit at night were amazing, so relaxing. We even invited family over one eve for a BBQ in the communal area, which was fantastic.
Definitely well worth a visit!
Thank you Hugo and team x

Great holiday location at the Garlic Farm, the yurt is very suitable for 4 persons.
The surroundings are beautiful and the farm is very central on the island, so you can visit everything very easy.
Contact en service is very good, great breakfast at the farm.

We had a great stay and the yurt was very comfortable, lots of thought and care has obviously gone into furnishing and equipping them. The kids loved the setting - wanting to play in the hammocks and tennis at every opportunity and the fire pit was great for toasting marshmallows in the evening. Lovely to wake up in the morning to see the peacock family roaming by our door! We’ll definitely come again!

Fantastic property to stay in, enhanced by the location and wildlife that greeted us each day: wild rabbits, peahens with chicks, bats at night, and of course the wonderful red squirrels.
Peaceful and calm.
Close to sfarm shops, supermarkets and easy to get to all major attractions.

We were staying at the garlic farm to attend Isle of Wight Festival. The yurt was amazing. Fabulous location, comfortable and peaceful. It was very well equipped with log burner for colder nights and even hot water bottles! Bed comfy and linen was great quality. Kitchen area had all you need for a holiday. Would highly recommend The Garlic Farm as a great place to stay.

I wanted to do something a bit different to celebrate Fathers Day this year, and this yurt ticked all the boxes! We ordered a breakfast hamper, so had lovely locally sourced bacon, butter, bread, milk and eggs provided on arrival, along with some other treats. We stayed two nights, spent playing board games, touring the farm, playing tennis and lighting fires with our children aged 7 and 12. We had a nice walk along country lanes to The Pointer Inn for dinner and finished our stay with a fab breakfast in The Garlic Farm Café, leaving with armfuls of garlic products!
Highly recommended for a relaxed return to nature (but not too far!)

Beautiful views from top yurt down over the hills. Welcomed by Hugo. Children loved staying in the yurt and plenty of facilities. Tennis court and place to play football. Daughter really enjoyed visiting the chickens and Shetland ponies. There is also a small playground and games room. Hugo explained plans to develop the communal area which currently has a gas barbecue (all yurts have their own campfire and hammocks) and will have a communal bar and cooking facilities which will be really nice.
Highly recommended!
