Poachers Perch
A classic family bolthole with plenty to love
Sleeps 6 • Heated and insulated for all-season escapes • Dog friendly
The world moves fast – but time seems to slow down at Poachers Perch. Nestled in a cosy corner on the outskirts of our farm, this classic cabin is set up for relaxation and enjoys views stretching to Tennyson Down. It's the perfect place, we think, to gather with loved ones and enjoy a blissful few days to yourselves.
Are you planning a rural escape for a large group? Poachers Perch sits adjacent to Poachers Lodge, a spacious family holiday home. Booking both grants you space for up to 14 people and easy access between properties through the adjoining garden.
Views (and memories) that go on forever.
Like its neighbour, Poachers Lodge, the Perch is blessed with some of the most breathtaking views anywhere on our farm. Hence the private sun deck and shared garden – prime viewing spots for the Island's cliff-crested country vistas and spectacular sunsets. Inside, meanwhile, you'll find more food for the soul. Elegant wood-panelled walls. Modern yet nostalgic décor. A spacious living area, complete with super-soft sofas, a dining table and a fitted kitchenette.
For you and your favourite people, it's an invitation to slow down, switch off and make some lifelong memories together. Think BBQs on warm, breezy evenings as the kids roam the garden. Trips to our Farm Park and Aqua Park, followed by a well-deserved snooze on the sofa. Or adventures further afield – to beaches, towns and beauty spots – with a cosy haven to return to.
So much to discover on-site.
From Poachers Perch, it's a short, scenic walk to our attractions and restaurant. That means people-powered fun and good, honest food is only ever minutes away. There's our Farm Park and Aqua Park, of course, as well as adventurous activities like frisbee golf, clay pigeon shooting and padel tennis. And as for the restaurant, it's one of the Island's best – expect mighty steaks, juicy burgers and all sorts of farm-fresh, home-cooked delights.
Alternatively, why not choose one of our luxury hampers and create your own feast? It's a great way to sample some of our favourite locally sourced ingredients and relish some quality time together – no gadgets required.
Get out and explore.
Here on the Isle of Wight, you can head off in any direction and discover something worth stopping at. Why not follow the Tapnell Trail from your doorstep to the Downs? Or explore Yarmouth, with its cobbled streets, castle and iconic pier? Or, if you're feeling particularly adventurous, hire bikes and see where the roads take you.
