About Tapnell Farm

The story of Tapnell Farm starts with two Toms - brothers-in-law Tom Turney and Tom Honeyman-Brown - and a shared vision for the future of the family farm.

Rooted in generations of farming and inspired by the Isle of Wight, they wanted to create something that brought people together: a place to stay, play, eat and explore, all surrounded by coast and countryside.

What began as a working dairy farm has grown into the Tapnell Farm you see today, with award-winning stays, adventures, great food and experiences for every kind of escape.

Sustainability remains at the heart of everything we do, guided by one simple ethos: maximum enjoyment with minimum impact on the environment.

  Superb day out!

We had such a lovely time at Tapnell farm today.
It has so much for the nippers to do.
The highlight was the animals encounters. The young lady who ran the activities ( wallaby feeding and guinea pigs) was very knowledgable and was lovely with the children. They can’t wait to come back!!

  A fantastic day

We visited the end of March and had a lovely full active day, I’m 62, my friend is 75 and my 18 year old daughter had so much fun, trying out all the activities, seeing, petting and feeding the animals. Because of the time of year there was no queuing for anything but I can image it gets very busy during peak season so I would expect a lot of queuing which I’m sure would impact he enjoyment of the day. There is so much to do at Tapnell, animals, giant inflatable pillows, climbing, sliding, trampolines, go karts, coasters the list is endless and it was refreshing to find that every single activity was included in the price, no added extras to add onto the cost of the day. We used the coffee shop which was reasonably priced too. I would definitely recommend a visit.
