We enjoyed a lovely week although the weather was a little disappointing. We found the accomadation cormfortable and inviting. We did manage a few early evenings in the garden with a glass of wine and the children enjoyed playing in the garden.

We were a party of 8 adults and 2 young children and the house was a perfect backdrop to our first holiday in the IoW.
There is plenty of space for everyone to have a bit of freedom when things got loud but also enough to fit everyone in when we had dinner etc.
Situated some 3 miles from Ventnor and easily accessible to the rest of the island the location is ideal and we were able to get out and enjoy this fantastic place.

Southford Farm was ideal for our family of seven adults and one teenager.
Bed linen is especially lovely, although I personally found the bed a bit hard.
All amenities were good and we had a very enjoyable week.

We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary with our children and grandchildren, we were blown away with Southford farm, it went way beyond expectations and there was a warm welcome of flowers, bubbles and an anniversary card to start our celebrations, there was also a welcome basket full of high quality products, my children hired a private chef for our anniversary meal and the house had everything needed to make it a special experience, we made some wonderful memories and we will definitely be returning, if you hire this property please ensure you look after it as it’s just way too beautiful to spoil, we said that we would like to spend Christmas there, just stunning

Best holiday house yet
Southford farm was excellent in every way. We were a multi generation family of 6 including a 2 year old. We had plenty of space and the off road car parking was easily accessible both from the road and to the house. The garden was fully fenced and ideal for relaxing or playing. All the upstairs windows had lovely views and were fitted with safety catches. The farm is very quiet and the traffic on the road, which is not very busy, was not noticeable. We brought a travel cot (nicer to use your own) and a high chair. It would have been nice for the farm to have a high chair. We had plenty of crockery, cutlery etc and the kitchen was well equipped. We managed very well but could have done with some larger pans and I suspect this would have been more of a problem if the house had been fully occupied with 10 adults. It was good to arrive to full packs of coffee, tea, sugar, milk and biscuits. There was also a vase of beautiful scented roses in the hallway. The owner lives on the farm and we had a mobile number to call if we had any issues but we didn't need it and were pleased to meet her on the last day and report we had enjoyed our stay. We found this farm through Island Holiday Homes who were also very helpful and also booked our ferries. (They told us we would need the highchair)

Great place for a holiday for a big family or big group of friends
Stayed at Southford Farm with extended family to celebrate my 60th birthday. Great house in a beautiful setting and with a beautiful garden. Friendly and helpful host and an excellent base for exploring the Isle of Wight. The only thing missing were high chair and bed for small children - expected this to be part of a big house aimed at families.

Our wonderful stay at Southford Farm
We had the most amazing stay at Southford Farm this August. The house was breathtaking and completely spotless. It oozed character while still having all the mod cons we needed. There were so many little extras that we didn't expect and we were made to feel incredibly welcome. A cup of tea and slice of cake on arrival was just what we needed and there were even flowers to greet us too! The views from the windows were glorious and sitting in the garden enjoying some evening sun was one of the highlights of our stay. I am missing sitting on the window seat in the kitchen overlooking the lovely garden with its fruit trees and countryside views. The location was perfect with so many areas of beauty, great days out and places to eat only a short drive away. The owners were really lovely and so helpful. As a family of 9 we had so much space and were able to eat together and play games together in the evenings. All of the facilities were excellent (fluffy towels, cosy beds, wifi, TV x 2, washing machine etc) and I just cannot fault anything! We just wish we could have stayed longer.
I am incredibly thankful that we found this gem of a holiday home at a time when we all needed a good break. We would recommend Southford Farm without reservation!
Naomi, Ben and family.

Comfortable and spacious accommodation
Well equipped, spacious and comfortable accommodation. We enjoyed our stay and it was as described in the property description. Unfortunately we couldn’t get a high chair and cot but we managed to bring our own. Would stay again.
