The Snug (East Afton Farm)
A couples' retreat in the heart of the Isle of Wight countryside
Sleeps 2 • Spacious al-fresco area • Dog friendly
The Snug at East Afton Farm is made for couples looking to escape to the countryside. A peaceful walk through open fields. A view that makes you pause. A cosy cabin for two, tucked away in a beautiful rural setting where spectacular sunsets often round off the day. If you're looking to slow down, switch off and spend quality time together, The Snug is the perfect place to do it.
The Snug is located on our neighbouring East Afton Farm, making it an ideal place to stay if you're attending a wedding at East Afton Farmhouse. The venue is just a short stroll away.
One small step from the Great Outdoors
Not too big and not too small, The Snug is just right for mini-breakers who want nature on their doorstep. That's why we've paid special attention to the al-fresco space, which comes complete with a raised decking area, BBQ and picnic bench. The interior is cosy and welcoming, furnished with little luxuries that make it feel more special than your typical glamping setup. Think solar electricity, a private ensuite shower room and a modern fitted kitchen.
How will you make the most of it? We'd suggest a sunshine-fuelled BBQ cookout for two (we provide charcoal, firelighters and matches). Or, perhaps, a day at the beach, followed by a spot of sunset-gazing. And, of course, there's nothing wrong with staying in, cuddling up and taking the rare chance to revel in each other's company.
Onsite adventures, food and fun
At Tapnell Farm, we're passionate about great fun, great food and the Great Outdoors. That's why we've made sure to keep all our attractions within easy reach. From The Snug, you can take a leisurely 30-minute stroll (or two-minute drive) and find yourself right at the heart of Tapnell Farm & our activities, attractions and restaurant.
Here, there's always something new to try. How about a couple's padel tennis tournament? Or a crash course in air rifle shooting, guided by experienced instructors? Or, if you're hungry, you can head to The Cow - our award-winning restaurant - and enjoy some of the Island's best burgers, steaks and more, using locally sourced produce where possible.
An Island worth exploring
Love a good view? Head to Tennyson Down for a sweeping perspective across the English Channel and down to the iconic Needles. Want thrills and adventure? There's surfing at Compton Bay and bodyboarding at Colwell. Or, for a quieter couple's day out, visit Yarmouth and spend a lazy afternoon exploring its independent shops and cobbled streets. There's something on the Island to suit every kind of escape.
