There's fun around every corner. You can meet sheep, alpacas and donkeys, take a stroll through wallaby walkabout, race go-karts, zoom down slides and challenge each other to a round of mini golf.

There are also delicious vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options too.
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.
