We enjoyed a brilliant 3 day weekend in the Bell tents. The owners were helpful throughout sending pictures of the new tents and helping with travel arrangements even when we missed the ferry due to the traffic. The tents are kitted out better than most hotel rooms I have stayed at. I was surprised by the head height and how big the 6 m tents were. Everything from a kettle to cups and milk were provided. We loved the electric blankets. There is communal use of the fridge which is very helpful and also ice blocks are provided. The standard of the shower block is excellent and lovely and warm....more
We have just returned from a great stay. It really is upmarket glamping , everthing is so well thought out and amazingly clean . Lovely views and a great area of the IOW. We will definately return .
We stayed for a two night break in the new bell tents and we had a totally fab stay. My sister and I brought all our kids and everyone loved it. The kids had hours of fun running around on the hay bales and we loved the comfort of the tents! We arrived to cosy beds, fresh flowers and a perfect picnic basket to use. The tent had everything we needed. The toilets and shower block were clean and not a bug in sight! And really warm (think they have under floor heating! Which was a treat). The farm is great as it had indoor and outdoor play areas and petting farm with a great cafe which means we we...more
We had a little 2 night break in the bell tent & found more than expected, there were communal fridges to use & the shower/ toilet area was spacious & modern. A cold water tap right outside your tent saves trips back & forth to the washing up area (which is also fully equipped) wood & fire pit provided which is lovely for the evenings. Plenty of space around your tent too. Inside the tents is everything you need for a cosy stay. We would all loved to have stayed longer but working life calls!
We've stayed at Tapnell a few times now and it never disappoints. From the friendly and helpful team who look after bookings and help with queries during our stay to the amazing house; it is always a brilliant trip. We are a big group totally outnumbered by children and it still manages to be relaxing as there is so much space for them to play and so much to do on the island. The house has everything you need and more - we still haven't used the dining room and hardly use the living room as we live outside! It is always clean and comfortable and just works brilliant ly- thank you so much.
