Had a wonderful stay in the ruthie yurt. The little kitchen really has everything you need. Although if you’re doing some real cooking I’d advise bringing your own sharp knife! Super comfy bed and the best bit was sitting in bed with the fire going. They even have hot water bottles for you!

My wife and I stayed 7 nights in the yurt with our 20 month old. It was probably the best experience we’ve had so far. The Garlic Farm had endless activities for the family and amazing dining, as well. Such a beautiful place, highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

Our second visit and such a pleasure to return. Very comfortable beds, loved the hot tub, hammock, BBQ, fire pit and incredible natural environment. Watched the red squirrels and rabbits playing and enjoyed visits from the peacock and chickens. Had moonlit walks with the children and had fun attempting tennis on the courts. My children thought it was paradise. A great place to connect with your friends and family and enjoy the simple pleasures of outdoor cooking and campfire fun but with the sheer luxury of lovely yurt Ruthie. The large outdoor kitchen and socialising area looks incredible and has everything you could ever need for bigger groups.

We had all 5 yurts for a big birthday gathering with 5 families including kids ranging from 3 to 14 years. Mel and the team were amazingly helpful and supportive through the booking process and went well above and beyond, from booking ferries to arranging for some Prosecco and a card to be delivered to the yurt on behalf of someone who couldn’t make it. The yurts were spot-on in terms of description and were really cleverly thought through, so although cosy they had everything we needed and were beautifully kitted out. For us the real win was the communal area which was criminally undersold and is incredible!! I cannot fault any of it and cannot recommend it enough. We will definitely be back!!

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.

What a wonderful place! Booked for the week as a birthday break as had wanted to visit for many years. The yurt was very well equipped, comfortable and warm. The weather was very wet but we were cosy and didn't really mind as the rest was needed. It was lovely to wake up with the birds, red squirrels and rabbits and feel part of nature. We had plenty of privacy to enjoy the hot tub each evening as not overlooked by other yurts. We ate at the restaurant several times and each time was delicious. Several garlic products in the yurt as a welcome pack, which was a lovely touch. Met several staff during the week, including Colin and all were friendly and welcoming. Would definitely like to return one day, thoroughly enjoyed and can't recommend enough!

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.

A lovely farm, with nice facilities and lovely walks. The yurt was very beautiful and perfect for our stay. We enjoyed the use of the fire pit, bbq and hot tub.
My only critique would be the bathroom, it was quite small and shower floor needed to be renovated. Toilet also needed to be descaled due to limescale build up.

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!

This is such an amazing place. Sometimes you wonder if the photos on the website are as good in real life, but the yurts are the garlic farm are even better! They have thought of everything on the farm and we’re super helpful. We had both sunshine and wet weather, but there was no end of fun for our family of 5. The accommodation was great and the island had so much to do. Would LOVE to come back!

We stayed here for three nights (two adults and a 4 year old) and had the most amazing time! The yurts are built and maintained to a high standard and we cannot fault them at all. The wood fired hot tub was very nice.
We felt we had great privacy however still able to watch our son play with other children on the field.
We plan on returning with our extended family as it would make a perfect family trip!
Thank you so much and see you again soon :)

I would one million per cent recommend yurt Ruthie fantastic location on the very end next to the tennis courts and private field with two goal nets! And hot tub We traveled with boys age 18,12,5 and we enjoyed the freedom of the kids being able to run around and feel safe we even had a lovely welcome from the chickens! Lots of rabbits chickens and peacocks this place really is a little hidden gem! Comfy mattresses and lovely and clean facilities in the yurt and surrounding areas! We will be returning next year such an amazing place well done garlic farm

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!

Short and sweet…..
Our stay was a spur of the moment, let’s go (we live in Hertfordshire)
Telephoned the Garlic farm and spoke with Mel, she sorted everything out within a few moments, including all the IOW ferry transfers.
On arrival, it was absolutely amazing, the Yurt was fantastic along with its setting and the hot tub was all ready to go, they have thought of everything, the peace and tranquil setting cannot be put into words, you would not even notice that there were other guests staying, very private.
And I must mention, the food and menu was great, best breakfast I have ever had.
Mel and Hugo are a credit to what they have achieved and we shall 100% return
A huge thank you

Second stay in one of the Garlic Farms yurts, it’s the most tranquil place to stay, the yurt has everything you could need.
Relaxing in the hot tub watching wild rabbits roam around was idyllic.
We went to the IOW festival during our stay which is just under 10mins drive from the farm. So perfect place to go and hideaway from the mayhem of a festival!

Six of us stayed in yurt Ruthie as part of a larger group over the who yurt camp. It provided everything we needed for us as a group of six adults plus having the hot tub for others to join and hang out was great. I would recommend this yurt for friends, families or as we were, part of a larger group over the whole yurt camp. Everything was immaculately clean, check it was easy and the Garlic Farm goodies and bottle of local Briddlesford Milk that were left as welcome gifts were a lovely addition! We especially appreciated the use of local and sustainable products, from the re-fillery shower products even down to the loo roll! Cant wait to come back again!

Our party of 4 had a great weekend at the Garlic Farm, taking part in the Wight Prestige cycle event and staying in Yurt Ruthie. We were return visitors, having enjoyed the same experience last year. The yurt had everything we needed and proved to be a wonderful base. It's well placed for enjoying all the Island has to offer - on foot or by bike. The hot tub was the icing on the cake! The food and hospitality at the Farm was lovely as usual - I can highly recommend!

I can honestly say that I have had the best time on the Garlic Farm, the peace, tranquility, nature, food and of course the yurt, how beautiful! We will definitely be returning with more of our family in future. Comfiest bed I’ve ever slept in and I’m currently staying in a 5 star hotel as the second part of our holiday and the bed does not compare!! Cannot wait to return and explore more, if only we could have stayed longer, love it!!! Xx

The yurt had a wonderful feel and atmosphere. It was very cosy and the location was fantastic. The yurt was surrounded with lots of scenic Woodlands and there was wonderful football pitches and Tennis courts to keep ourselves amused. The people working at the garlic farm were truly wonderful, very kind and willing to help us make sure we felt comfortable and enjoyed our stay and had everything we needed. Overall, I couldnt reccomend it more. I defiantly think I will be staying here again some time!

Yurt was very clean and well equipped. Nice to be welcomed by host, who explained how to use hot tub and gave us other information about the yurt. It was lovely and warm and cosy once we had lit the wood burner. Only thing that would have made a difference would have been the use of an electric kettle, as water took a long time to heat up on the electric ring. Had an amazing stay combined with bird watching holiday. Would definitely return for a stay in a yurt. A fantastic holiday.

Had an incredible stay at The Garlic Farm. Set in acres of woodlands and fields. Was perfect from start to finish.
Hugo was very helpful when we arrived and was kindly on hand to help us with heating the hot tub as it was fired by logs.
Was a joy to wake every morning to see a family of peacocks outside and chickens wandering freely around. The farm shop is filled with numerous types of garlic and oils etc alongside beautiful candles, diffusers and tableware. Mustn’t forget the farm restaurant where we had a delicious breakfast.
Thank you so much for an enjoyable stay.

I stayed at the Garlic Farm for the inaugural Wight Prestige gravel cycling weekend with three friends. The Yurt was the perfect accommodation for the event. It had everything we needed for our stay and the hot tub was a welcome extra after a long day in the saddle riding around the Island. Highest card won the double bed, which looked comfortable, but the mattresses upstairs were ok for a couple of nights. The only thing I wish we had was an electric kettle as the stove top kettle provided took ages to boil.

We spent a week at the Garlic Farm staying in Ruthie and we had a wonderful time. The location is amazing in the centre of the island so easy to get anywhere else in a sensible time. The farm itself was lovely to walk around and we had a couple of meals in the restaurant which was also great. The yurt site is pretty much perfect, it felt like there was plenty of privacy given how the yurts are situated, but also a shared games room, tennis court, football pitch and laundry room - all of which we made use of. We particularly enjoyed regular morning visits from the peacock family and the wandering chickens! The yurt facilities were also spot on - hot shower, comfy beds, fluffy towels and hot water bottles for the chiller nights. We had a great stay and hope to return.

This is our third year staying at the Ruthie yurt and every year it’s makes for an enjoyable stay. The new hot tub was a very nice addition that we made full use of. The staff at the garlic farm are very friendly and welcoming and the shop has a wide range of garlic items. For around £600 for 4 nights, the price is very reasonable and highly recommend staying here.

We all had a fab time, totally enjoyed every aspect, 3 families with age range from 2-60. Hoping to return next year for a total re-charge.Only thing that all of us agreed on was an addition of a small electric kettle would b gr8 as the “whistler took an absolute age to boil. But 100%

The Yurt was gorgeous and comfortable. Had everything we needed, we enjoyed the little quirks like having to grill our toast and make tea using the hob, however it did make getting out in the morning a little long winded as the kettle would take at least half an hour to boil!
The hot tub was a lovely feature and we spent a lot of time in it, we liked the fact that it was wood fired too!
The location was great for getting around the island, and we felt like we were right in nature with bunnies, bats, chickens, peacocks, bees, horses and goats all around us

The yurt we holidayed in was cosy, comfortable and had everything on hand to make our stay enjoyable.
Our young daughter loved staying up on the mezzanine and the football pitch and play area went down a treat too.
The yurts are well spaced out to provide a bit of privacy and the addition of the wood fired hot tub in Ruthie was a real bonus. The fact that it was ready and waiting for our us to take a dip on our arrival was a lovely touch.
The Garlic Farm is set in a great location with lots of attractions nearby and the restaurant serves up delicious food. Our IoW staycation in a yurt was a first for our small family but we'd definitely do it again!

The yurt is fabulous. Its a mini house - downstairs there is a double bed with bedside cabinets and reading lights - a neat kitchen with table for meals - a sofa and log burning fire (fabulous on a cold evening) - and a bathroom with proper loo and shower. Up a ladder there is a mezzanine with kids mattresses and space to spread out toys and books. Every yurt has a hammock, a bbq, a table and chairs, and a couple of outdoor sofas with a parasol. Ruthie has a hot tub too - wood fired, up to temperature in an hour, and bliss. We let the kids have 15m in most days and they loved it.
The yurts are in a private space at the back of the farm, with a tennis court, a games room (pool, table tennis, table football). The communal space in the middle has a long table to seat 25+ to eat under cover, as well as a fire and arm chairs. There is a bar and a fire pit with sofas around perfect for an evening of music and laughter in earshot of the yurts.
A wee stroll through past the tennis court and you are at the back of the Garlic Farm - for second breakfasts, for ice creams, for tractor tours - we had one just for our yurts and hurtled around seeing garlic growing, cows mooing, badger sets and red squirrels.
A short drive gets you to Briddlesford for buying delicious veg, fruit and meat. There is so much to do on the island and yet some days, we do nothing. The kids run feral and safe between the games room, yurts, playground, wood, tennis court, communal area. We come back every year. Its a level above camping or glamping (its yurting) - but has all the benefits of spending most of the day outdoors, feeling safe, relaxed, happy, calm, and entertained. We like to hire it on our own, or come with friends and take as many yurts as possible and maybe a cottage too. I really don't want you to know about this place, but sharing is caring as my kids say.

We had a long weekend in Ruthie Yurt which had a bonus of a hot tub and close proximity to the tennis court. This is a really great place to stay with or without children. The BBQ, tennis court, football pitch and loads of space as well as a games room for kids means there's plenty to do on site after a day spent exploring IOW. The Yurt had all essentials and more and was very well designed providing a fun and very comfortable place to stay. They are also well spaced out to give plenty of privacy. We had a spot of trouble with our car and had the opportunity to meet the owners who are delightful and went out of their way to help us. The garlic farm is lovely and the garlic farm shop far too tempting! We highly recommend this for a relaxing holiday with plenty of options for activities too.

We stayed in Ruthie for a birthday weekend and loved every second. Ruthie herself is perfect in every way, very spacious and every detail has been thought of. The quality of materials used and the choice of furnishings was so tasteful and high quality - proper Weber bbq, super efficient and easy to light wood-burning stove, wonderfully comfortable handcrafted outdoor seating, beautifully rustic cushions and incredibly comfortable bed. And the hot tub - WOW. We loved lighting the fire to create the heat, and spent many a happy moment in the tub surrounded by nature, listening to birdsong or looking at the stars.
The Farm itself is delightful, in fact we found it very hard to leave. We raided the shop for fresh produce and delicious chutneys and had a brilliant meal in the restaurant. Our kids (2 and 5) loved the animals and the play room and play park was a huge hit. Our little boy cried when we left!
Mel provided every bit of information we might need, and looked after us so well.
We adored our stay and will definitely be back as soon as we can!

We stayed in the Ruthie Yurt. (Named after their beloved pet dog) the yurt is equipped with everything you need and so pretty and welcoming.
The bed was comfy and warm as was the log fire inside at night.
Outside plenty of seating area, with BBQ and fire pit. Ruthie also hosts a fire lit hot tub which is amazing.
Our whole experience was truly special the staff are all so very nice and friendly and the farm itself is very special.
The cafe is a must! We ate their everyday and then when it’s time to leave you can stock up in the garlic supplies.
This is my second time back to the farm and not my last.
It really is a wonderful experience.

We stayed during early May Bank holiday, coinciding with the peak morning for birdsong, aural nature at her most sublime! If you want to experience the Shire in real life, then this where it's at. Thank you all at the GF for a wonderful weekend.

Ruthie was very comfortable for a family of 3 (parents plus 2 year old toddler). It has everything you need and is beautiful! The bed was amazing and our girl used the upstairs area as her play room. Hot tub was lovely though the weather was a bit too cold for us to take advantage of it fully (it was cooling down fast). Garlic farm itself is lovely, playground for kids, games room, tennis court, nice cafe. All in all it was a wonderful stay

As expected, perfect & peaceful. The GF is a gem of a place to stay and after a year long postponed trip, it didn’t disappoint.
As usual, Mel & Hugo have thought of everything you could possibly need to relax in Glamping heaven. The addition of the hot tub on Ruthie was the icing on an already lovely cake.
Can’t wait to return!

These yurts are amazing, it feels like a little bit of magic. Even though we had terrrible weather, with the sound of the rain falling and the wood burner giving off a wonderful heat, it really was a very special weekend. The kids love the mezzanine and it is so cosy and warm. We had breakfast each day at the Garlic farm which was delicous, the over night oats are to die for. Our Hosts Hugh and Melanie have everything covered. I can not recommend this more highly.

Fabulous location, gorgeous yurts and family friendly, The Garlic Farm Yurts should be on everyone’s bucket list! Plenty of activities to keep young and old busy - from tennis and football to beautiful walks. To top it off, the garlic farm cafe has sensational food and it would be remiss not to buy a little something from the farm shop! A true gem of a place topped off by the fantastic hosts.

The most charming little getaway. We wanted to fully relax for a few days and we definitely found that at the yurt. From the most comfy bed near the fire place to having my morning Coffee with peacock roaming around.

We (4 girls) had the best stay it was cosy and comfy - will 100% be recommending to others. Im looking at bringing my husband back in a few weeks we loved it so much.
Was the best glamping experience, everything was made so easy, the staff were extremely helpful and kind.
The food at the restaurant was so delicious.
Hopefully see you in a few weeks.
