Kings Manor Farm

Summary

Kings Manor Farm is located in a beautiful part of the Isle of Wight countryside and is a 1550 acre sheep and arable farm. We have a choice of 5 spacious and comfortable self-catering holiday cottages/houses, located within or near the rural grounds of the farm.

Kings Manor Farm is situated directly on the beautiful Yar Estuary, between the pretty port of Yarmouth and Freshwater in West Wight. This is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the family owners have preserved the estuary in its natural state for 40 years, treating the tidal area as a wildlife sanctuary and planting trees to encourage red squirrels.

Our holiday cottages are perfect for couples, families and friends who are looking for an enjoyable break to the Isle of Wight. West Wight is a beautiful area and is a great base from which to explore this wonderful island.
