Tapnell Manor
Palatial country living in the heart of the Isle of Wight countryside
Sleeps 22 (+4 on sofa beds) • Recently refurbished • Dog friendly
Tapnell Manor is a rare treat – an elegant, 10-bedroom manor house flanked by countryside vistas and a parade of serene, sculpted gardens. Bring the family – cousins, grandchildren and all. Bring the family dog. Leave behind all your worries and embrace the timeless tranquillity of our rolling, endless landscapes. This is your opportunity to experience rural life at its most rejuvenating and luxurious.
Room to breathe. Room to be.
Tapnell Manor has been extensively refurbished to deliver the very best of Island living while retaining the rustic appeal of an old farmhouse. That's why you'll see tasteful modern décor alongside mighty wooden beams and open fires – all ready to roar. It's spacious enough for large groups, yet cosy and welcoming. And it's full of little luxuries: a large kitchen with an AGA range, a games room, a conservatory with breathtaking views. Not to mention those gardens – the Great Outdoors in miniature, with ponds, ornaments and plenty of space to roam.
Think large family holidays, group retreats with couples and kids, or happy reunions with old friends. Tapnell Manor makes a splendid home base from which you can explore the Island's bountiful beaches, towns and trails. Or, if you prefer, a sumptuous home from home. A chance to cook fresh pizzas together, host friendly competitions in the games room, and relish the pleasure of slow days and good company.
Acres of fun, at your convenience.
Luxury farm accommodation is only one of our specialities. We're just as passionate about good, honest, people-powered fun – the kind that makes you forget about screens and gizmos and relish each and every moment.
You'll be pleased to know, then, that Tapnell Manor is mere moments from our main attractions. Here, you can meet the animals at Tapnell Farm Park, splash and bounce at our outdoor Aqua Park and try all sorts of all-ages activities. And if you don't fancy cooking, you've got The Cow – our award-winning restaurant – on your doorstep. It's everything you need to get a real taste of authentic, farm-reared Island life.
Go your own way.
Step beyond the farm and you'll discover new experiences around every corner. There's Headon Warren, with its sweeping views out to sea and down to The Needles. There's Colwell Bay, with its rockpools, fossils and beach huts. There's Yarmouth, with its cobbled streets and independent eateries. Where will your adventure take you?
