Impressive Self Catering Manor.

Big enough to sleep the largest of families but equally cosy and welcoming; Tapnell Manor has the rustic appeal of an old farmhouse. Set between two farms, with views to Tennyson Down and the Solent you will find yourself surrounded by natural beauty.

Inside the house there are plenty of rooms for guests to spread out: a games room for the more active, and plenty of open fires for the more relaxed. The farmhouse has 10 bedrooms: 6 doubles, 1 triple, 1 twin,1 family room with a double and twin and 1 nursery with cot and put up single. Other features include a welcoming kitchen with an Aga and a relaxed eating area, a conservatory with breath-taking views and a beautiful beamed dining room. Outside, in the enchanting garden there's room to roam, with ponds, ornaments and a wide assortment of flora and fauna to entertain the greenest of fingers.

Easily accessible by ferry, the house is 10 minutes' drive from the sailing hub of Yarmouth and 10 minutes in the other direction to the open expanses of Compton beach.

Electric car hire is available for guests staying at Tapnell Farm. Explore the Island with an electric vehicle during your stay.
