Skinners is a small, family run, mixed beef and arable farm situated in Northwood on the outskirts of Cowes on the Isle of Wight. The farm and holiday accommodation are found at the end of a 400 metre lane. Skinners is one mile from Parkhurst Forest, just over a mile from the secluded Thorness Bay, and three miles from both Cowes and Newport.
Our family have cared for cattle at Skinners for 3 generations. The farm is made up of around 150 acres of land, some being farmed with rotational crops to harvest and feed to the cattle through the winter. The remainder of the land being permanent pasture, for our beef animals to graze through the spring, summer and autumn months.
We have three caravans which are located in their own private corner of a field adjoining the farm. They enjoy views across our fields. Depending on the time of year there will be cattle or crops in the fields. Staying at Skinners, you will experience a real working farm and be able to witness the varied work that goes on at any time of year on a beef and arable farm.

A holiday at Skinners Farm is a little bit of paradise. Lovely comfortable caravans in a beautiful quiet setting. We especially loved seeing the cows and of course the kittens 😊 Thank you Clare and family for making us so welcome even though you are all so busy you still made time to make our holiday special.

We stayed here for a few days for an event. It's basic living but a surprising amount of room and plenty of facilities. Excellent water pressure in the shower, two (two!) toilets and comfy beds. The fact it was a farm had no impact, wasn't disturbed once, and we felt very accommodated. Will definitely be going back!

We just loved skinners farm. from the area to the caravan to the friendly family running the farm. my girls had a tour of the farm with luke who was a delight he answered any and all questions asked by my 6, 8 and 17 year old. I know it was a busy time for them collecting the Hay but they still found time to show my girls around. the caravan had everything you would need in a caravan stay. we loved our stay and hope to return soon. thank you so much skinners farm x

We have just returned from a week staying at Skinners Farm and absolutely loved it - so much so, that we have already booked to stay again next year. We stayed in Brisbane Caravan which was spacious, very clean and well equipped. It also had wifi (which was an unexpected bonus) much to the delight of our son. We would highly recommend staying at Skinners Farm to anyone who is looking for a holiday in a quiet location.

Just spent 12 days on the farm and enjoyed every minute of it. Our hosts were friendly and welcoming and it was nice to re-live my youth and stay on a working farm again :). The caravan was clean, tidy and very spacious and had everything you would expect a caravan to have, the wifi was an unexpected bonus also.
The farm was situated in almost the… perfect location, five minutes from a supermarket, a few minutes from the beach and only 10 minutes from Newport. There are loads of things to do in and around the area, and with Parkhurst forest being on your doorstep there are plently of places

As a family of 5 we spent 2wks in Summer Breeze, absolutely loved every minute of our holiday!! A lovely welcome when we arrived & we felt at ease right away. The caravan was superb...lovely & clean, freshly… picked flowers & a delicious cake on the table. The farm is situated in an ideal central location to see the island. So much to do with the children & the views around the island are fabulous. We've already recommended the farm to a number of family & friends for a relaxing holiday :-) We can't wait to go back next year, never had a holiday so relaxing xx

Visited the island for IOW festival and this was a great location with easy access to any part of the island. The owners were extremely friendly, as was everyone on the island, and even baked us a fabulous cake for our arrival which was a great touch. The caravan had ample room and was well equipped with excellent views in a peaceful location. Would recommend highly and would definitely stay there again.
