Poachers Lodge
A spacious country home with sensational views
Sleeps 8 • Spacious garden • Dog friendly
At Poachers Lodge, nature feels ever-present. This roomy, family-friendly holiday home enjoys some of the finest views on the Island. On the right day, with the right light, those gorgeous green hills seem to stretch for miles. Make Poachers Lodge your home from home and you'll have the perfect place to slow down, switch off and spend quality time together.
Do you want even more space for an extraordinary escape? Poachers Lodge is right next door to Poachers Perch - a lovely family cabin on the edge of Tapnell Farm. Book both and you'll enjoy room for up to 14, with easy access between the properties through the adjoining garden.
A home from home with room to unwind
Poachers Lodge feels special, familiar and wonderfully comfortable - ideal for families and groups looking for a relaxing home from home. Beautifully furnished throughout, it features a bright, spacious sitting room, a cosy snug with a log burner and a large open-plan kitchen diner that opens onto the extensive garden and patio. Perfect for dining and entertaining.
It's the kind of place family holidays are made for. Gather everyone for a summer BBQ, enjoy a leisurely breakfast before heading out for the day, or challenge each other to a round of Football & Frisbee Golf just a short stroll away. Or perhaps simply kick back in the garden and enjoy the peace and quiet of the West Wight countryside.
A world of adventure, just around the corner
Staying at Poachers Lodge puts you moments from our popular family attractions. Take a short walk up the road and you'll have a world of adventure-fuelled, people-powered activities to try. Like Tapnell Farm Park, with its cute animals and soft play areas. And the Aqua Park, where the family can splash, bounce and play in the Great Outdoors.
Then comes supper. The Cow, our award-winning onsite restaurant, serves up award-winning burgers, steaks, cocktails and more. Or treat yourself to one of our luxury hampers and enjoy a relaxed meal together back at Poachers Lodge. However you choose to end the day, everything is close by, leaving more time to simply relax and enjoy your stay.
More to discover further afield
We always encourage our guests to get out and explore the Island. You only need to take a short drive and you'll soon be discovering some of West Wight's natural highlights, from beautiful beaches and dramatic coastal paths to iconic landmarks like The Needles and Tennyson Down. Or spend a few hours exploring nearby Yarmouth, with its independent shops, cafés and picturesque harbour.
