One Of The Best

Recently returned from our fourth or fifth stay at this fantastic site with, as always, a friendly welcome from Yasmin and Sean on arrival. Once the caravan was sited it was time to relax and again enjoy the wonderful views. New to us this year, metered electricity had been introduced which included 10KW in the nightly rate. Our slight apprehension was quickly dispelled after the first day when realising included electricity was more than adequate. The Isle of Wight is full of lovely places to visit and things to do. Although we have visited the island many times there is always something new to explore. Thank you Yasmin and Sean for a wonderful stay and already looking forward to next year.

Up there with the Best

Booked this CL based on reviews and initial contact with owner Yasmin. The views from the site on one side is rolling countryside and the other has picnic tables to sit and take in the sea views. We stayed for 2 and a half weeks and in that time almost felt like family members as owners Yasmin, Sean and daughter Millie were were very welcoming and friendly. We used the site as a base and were able to visit everywhere on the island that we wanted. Facilities were always clean and the bins seemed to be emptied every day. The hand wash and hand towels were always topped up. All in all this CL is the best we have stayed at and well deserves a 5 star rating. Thank you all at Queen Bower Farm.

This is from a guest who posted on our FB page .

We had the loveliest time at Borthwood caravans. We couldn’t have had a friendlier welcome from the owners and their dogs. The campsite was very tranquil with beautiful views and the orphaned lambs in the next field just added to the charm. The toilets were lovely and clean and everything was very well maintained. The local pub( Pointer Inn) had great food and was a very picturesque walk through well marked leafy paths. Very short drive to lovely dog friendly beaches and quaint towns. Can’t wait to return. 🥰

Perfect, peaceful CL

My elderly mother, my two dogs and I have just had the most wonderful week at Borthwood in our caravan . Yasmin and Sean are such welcoming and helpful hosts , making us instantly feel at home . The site is very easy to reach from the ferry port( don't listen to your sat nav!) . Upon arrival, we were so pleased to see the field was just like the photos - its huge and with lovely views. Metered Electric points ( the inclusive amount is generous: we didn't manage to use up all ours) are dotted around the edges on the flat so it was no problem at all to pitch. Mum was over the moon with the lambs in the field next to us that gave hours of entertainment as did the rabbits on the hill ! My dogs quickly made friends with the friendly farm dogs and we enjoyed watching the ponies and the abundant bird life. The site is beautifully tended and the toilet is rustic but squeaky clean. The ground is well draining and even after all the rain we had there was no danger of sinking or slipping. The dogs and I enjoyed the many walks from the site - Borthwood Copse is beautiful- and we explored the island most days. This CL is perfect for those who want to relax on a little farm , enjoy the views and not feel crowded. Especially good for dogs and walking. We will definitely be returning! This is my idea of caravaning heaven 😍

Peaceful tranquil and relaxing - perfect

I selected this site based on the reviews, I completely echo all the previous reviews, clean and tidy, everything you need, rabbits to entertain the woofers LOL, a truly lovely site that we have on our must visit again list. we stayed for a week with our 2 dogs and thoroughly loved it. We always stay at CL's, we love small quiet sites. Yasmin is such a lovely lady to chat to and it sounds like they have alot of fun. Whilst we were staying, there was a surprise birth of twin lambs, Yasmin's daughter has a small flock. 30 min walk to the Pointer Inn, real ales and great food. Go down the lane next to the site, it becomes a footpath, at the end turn left along another narrow footpath, it goes through a yard / houses, just keep going straight, there were a couple of kissing gates and you come to Martins wood, bear left as you join another path, follow it round until you arrive at the village recreation ground. The rear entrance into the Pointer Inn beer garden is straight ahead. Best to phone ahead and book a table. We visited different beaches everyday with our 2 dogs - all of them were just beautiful. I can also recommend a visit to Adgestone Vineyard. Cheers!

Peaceful Stay, Gem of a CL

Spent a week at Borthwood and it was fantastic. Upon arrival we was warmly welcomed by Yasmin along with the dogs and given information about site and surrounding areas. Such a peaceful and tranquil site with lambs skipping in field next door and an amazing view of coast at top of the site and the rolling hills on other pitches. 20 mins walk will see you to the pointers arms ( great pies) and around a mile bike ride will get you onto the red squirrel trail, flat and runs from Sandown to Cowes. Tip: buses very frequent and if you plan on using them a lot get a weeks ticket it’s a lot cheaper. Also chocks recommended. Keep up the good work Yasmin & Sean and see you again in the future 👍🏻

Great site don’t miss it

Just had a glorious 2 weeks at Borthwood. A quiet and spacious site with amazing sea views over to the coast and and Brading Down. There are numerous walks and cycling opportunities in all directions along a huge network of paths and bridleways right from the site. Yasmin was helpful, relaxed and dog friendly. The Pointer Inn can be reached by footpath, great beer, great food, reasonably priced and also dog friendly, Thankyou.

Beautiful site

This site is what camping to us is all about. Set in the countryside with a sea view in the distance, very peaceful with just 6 campers. No showers but like most campers we have our own so would rather use own facilities. 2 toilets, cassette emptying facilities, water and electricity. The owners are lovely, very easy going and nothing is too much of a problem. Just take note of the directions how to get here because if you followed the sat nav it takes you down very small lanes. We would definitely come back.

A Gem!

By far the best CL we have ever visited. It has everything. I can’t begin to list the things we liked about this site, not least the very professional owners, nothing too much trouble. A beautiful spot on the Isle of Wight and we were very pleased with ourselves for having chosen this site, it is not always easy! After about 40 years of caravanning we managed to chose the ideal site. Thank you! Lesley and Peter Good
