Welcome to Skinners Farm.
A working farm with self catering holiday caravans on the Isle of Wight
Skinners Farm is a mixed beef and arable farm situated in Northwood on the outskirts of Cowes on the Isle of Wight. Skinners farm self catering holiday caravans 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. Skinners Farm Holidays Isle of Wight is an ideal venue for walking and cycling and the beach and coastal paths can be reached easily on foot. Thorness Bay is a short walk away and can be accessed via footpaths – there is no public road access which guarantees seclusion at any time of year. The 395 hectare Parkhurst Forest is a haven for wildlife including the red squirrel and many species of bird such as garden warbler, nightjar, woodcock, green woodpecker, great spotted woodpecker and long eared owl. We have three caravans which are located in a field adjoining the farm. They enjoy views across our fields and depending on the time of year there will be cattle or crops in the fields. Staying at Skinners Farm, you will experience a real working farm and be able to witness the varied work that goes on at any time of year.
