These are better than you could imagine- you want to stay forever, they have everything you need, all you have to do it bring the fun!
We took our company to Tom's Eco Lodge for a two night stay- the Domes themselves are absolutely beautiful and in a stunning location- there's nothing more you could want for- and I'd highly recommend staying here - it's stunning.
Great house for our group and such a bonus to be next to Tapnell farm with all the facilities and such a beautiful location- we will definitely Italy be back!
The ultimate luxury "camping" in the middle of a field ! The sun rising till setting is unimpeded all day long. The best ever "upside down home" ?
We stayed in the Piglet as we were attending a wedding at the venue. Despite the awful weather we had, the Piglet was warm, cosy and every detail was catered for. The bathrooms are amazing! We will be back when the weather is better to enjoy the stunning location.
Amazing experience, loved listening to the rain patter on dome. Lovely view and amazing facilities x great for a couple, or a family, as bunk beds are hidden away.
Was pleasantly surprised with the accommodation even though I'd seen all the photos. It looks awesome in person. Kids were in love with it as well and enjoyed the hot tub. Loved all the bits and pieces that were included to light the fire, bag of bbq etc. Enjoyed the peace and tranquillity of the location but not too far from the farm so that we can enjoy the activities on the farm as well.
Beautiful and peaceful location, excellent facilities, we are planning a return soon. Thank you for a lovely experience
Stayed here with family of 17 for my wife and myselves "50th" The house is fantastic, very spacious and comfortable, two of our grandsons are Chefs and they were very impressed with the kitchen and all the utensils and appliances as they were cooking our Anniversary meal. The bedrooms were well decorated and beds comfortable with en-suites. The Annexe was well equiped and nicely furnished. We all enjoyed the cinema room, a really chilled area. It`s set in a beautiful location with lovely views. Chloe was most helpful informing us of the ferry bookings procedure and any questions we had. Exc...more
Large spacious rooms with great facilities, plenty of en suite rooms of different sizes. There was an amazing master suite on the middle floor and some rooms with three beds for families we had stay with kids. We had 15 people stay in the main house and annex and all had beautiful accommodation. The cinema room was a great bonus, we watched many films and football games and was good entertainment for the kids. The kitchen was large and spacious and everything was so clean. The house is stunning and getting married at the venue made the getting ready pictures lovely. I would recommend staying a...more
We stayed in the Snug prior to the wedding showcase at East Afton Farmhouse. Even though there were guests nearby, it felt to private and lovely. It had everything you’d want for a weekend getaway, we loved cooking on the barbecue and making breakfast in the small kitchen.
The Domes are set apart from the main farm but were easy enough to find with a bit of concentration. The road leading up to them could do with a a bit of levelling as it a bit bumpy in a regular car. It’s a really good set up, warm and cosy with free supplies of wood and supplies for the stove which was great as the mornings and evenings were chilly. Be prepared for the wind… it’s very noisy although we stayed during a few days of strong weather. They thoughtfully provided disposable ear plugs. Had a lovely break, the dark sky was amazing and wildlife spotting was fun. Look out for gian...more
Really nice accommodation in a lovely setting, the house was comfortable with everything needed for our stay (the eggs and milk provide was a nice touch) Would definitely stay again
Loved the wood cabin it was spacious and clean.. loved the little touch of including basics like milk, tea,sugar, washing up Liquid.. also freshly laid eggs. The decking outside on warmer days would be lovely.
Has a fantastic 2 night stay in a modulog this weekend. Great location with amazing views, the log burning tub is an added bonus which we loved lounging in both nights!
Me & my partner surprised my mum for new year 3 day stay in moduloge for her retirement we had such a lovley time very clean and very comfortable all staff we came across were very friendly we will defo be back Thank you x
Came to the island for our grandson’s wedding, which was held at East Afton farm, so staying at Tapnell was very convenient. Accommodation at Poachers Lodge was first class. The staff are excellent, make you feel so welcome, and nothing is a problem. The venue at East Afton was amazing, again staff were excellent.
My 10yr old daughter and I stayed with you for 1 night. We would have stayed longer if more nights had been available. What a gorgeous little spot! Cozy pod with a stunning view. We will be coming back very soon.
A wonderdul place to stay with young children. So much to do and so much excitement for little ones. A perfect little getaway. Cannot recommend highly enough. We will be back!
We were very impressed with our stay in the modulog. We had everything we needed for a comfortable week in the cabin. Our meal at The Cow was great. Hot tub was great once we figured out how to use the fire to heat it up correctly. No complaints and would definitely return.
We had a brilliant time in our beautiful dome - it was clean, very well equipped and comfortable. The hot tub was beautiful. Views were picture perfect. The location is great for visiting the lovely beaches nearby and lovely pubs and restaurants. We will be back!
We had a wonderful few days at Tapnell Farm, getting together with cousins in neighbouring safari tents. We loved the safari tent - very comfortable and spacious, well equipped etc. The beds were super comfy and cosy and we appreciated the electric blankets and extra blankets to snuggle up in! Having a fire pit that is safe for smaller kids to be around was fab, it meant everyone could enjoy roasting marshmallows once it got dark. There is plenty to do on site, ideal for families, and the well equipped shop also had take out coffee and pastries which helped us to get going every morning. Wish ...more
First time going to and staying at Tapnell and it won't be the last visit. The modulog is compact, cozy and has everything you need for a mini break with perfect views. Hot tub is easy to use. Staff around the site are friendly and very helpful. Went to the cow for bingo and cocktails and what a great night that was. Have booked up a return stay. Highly recommended
We attended a wonderful wedding at East Afton Farm and stayed conveniently on site in a cosy “Piglet”. It was spotlessly clean, compact and warm, with a very comfy double bed, mini fridge, kettle and toaster, with crockery and cutlery supplied. A barbecue + fuel, outdoor seating and table were provided. Each of the 4 Piglets had their own spacious washroom just a short walk away. Again the facilities were perfectly clean and well planned with a large shower, hairdryer and space for storage of clothing / luggage. The booking process and all communication was very straightforward, informative ...more
Loved staying at Tapnell farm and only stayed for one evening for a break. A couple of thoughts for improvement: could you allow cars to park up to unload only? I’m 63 years old and wheeling the barrow full of mine and the dogs luggage across freshly laid wood chip was extremely challenging and I am still in pain! Also, the bed that is made up needs some kind of shelf and a socket for lap top/phone. Otherwise, I will look forward to a longer stay in the future
It was lovely and welcoming to have the cabin preheated for our arrival. Thank you for allowing an early check-in and a later departure. Well-equipped - small detail - suggest table mats to protect wooden table and also a stand/mat for hot things out of the oven.
Lovely domes with an outdoor fire pit and indoor wood burner. Super cosy. Kitchen stocked with all necessary utensils. Clean, well maintained. Very green and calm location. Nature, so a lot of insects, especially at night as attracted to light (keeping doors/windows closed helped). We were hoping to see some stars but was cloudy the whole time we were there. Single lane farm road to get there and bit far from shops (though not an issue if you are prepared and have your own ingredients - there is a fridge) - there is a farm shop but it wasn’t well stocked with fresh produce when we visited ...more
My pal and I took our 6 year old daughters away for an outdoors adventure to enjoy the pumpkin festival at Tapnell farm and decided to treat ourselves to stay there too. It was the bet decision we've made as the memories made throughout the whole trip was priceless! The tent was gorgeously set up, so clean, organised and accommodating - comfy cosy beds, super clean hot shower, fantastic hot tub and fire pit, loads of space indoors and out and plenty of amenities! The forest, the gardens, the views, the chickens, the open areas were all a dream for both us and the kids to enjoy playing and expl...more
This manor house has beautiful views across the countryside and to the sea beyond. Beautiful bedrooms and fantastic, communal spaces. Lots to do in the surrounding areas. We had a fantastic time and we are booking again for next year. Thoroughly enjoyed by everybody.
My best glamping experience. Super comfortable and beautiful tents. Great farm shop and restaurant on site. Lots to do. Amazing value for money. We’ll definitely be back.
Perfect for glamping! Comfortable necessities to make you feel comfortable- especially with the hot shower and private toilet! The children loved it as they got the camping experience while the adults got the added extra comfort! We particularly enjoyed the private fire pit outside the tent. It was also great that charcoal, wood logs etc was provided. All in all a great experience.
Stay was very good. Site manager was very quick with responding to our queries and helped us with check in and check out times to suit our disabled daughter. Great service.
It was our second time staying at Poachers Perch, this time with more family in tow! There was room for everyone and enough crockery in the kitchen - always handy! Poachers Perch was cosy and comfy. Check in was seamless and the information pack makes great recommendations. We thoroughly enjoyed a meal at The Cow, just up the drive on the main site of Tapnell Farm. We would 100% recommend and will 100% be back!
Very nice - but small and compact- shower block was clean and large - would have been nice to have a non slip shower Matt as both of us have had knee surgery- replacement- so scared of slipping- and the shower base was extremely slippery. Also felt it not on to pay over £100 a night and still expected to strip the beds and empty bins . A chair in the piglet would have been great and maybe put the charcoal and lighters in a waterproof storage bin outside
