Tom's Eco Lodge

About

Tom’s Eco Lodge takes glamping to the next level, with beautiful Safari Tents, Wood Cabins, Modulogs, Eco Pods and Geo Domes, all nestled away in the glorious surroundings of Tapnell Farm on the Isle of Wight. Just a short drive or scenic bike ride from the port of Yarmouth. 

Stunning sea views, space to roam, and sandy beaches nearby create the perfect farm stay for an adventurous family holiday, relaxing group get together, and even a romantic hideaway.

Larger group or family? Tapnell Farm is also home to a selection of farm cottages and Tapnell Manor.

Stay, Eat & Play at Tapnell Farm
There’s no need to venture far at Tapnell Farm. You can stay, eat and play all in one place with The Cow Restaurant, Tapnell Farm Park, Isle of Wight Aqua Park, Archery, Axe Throwing and Football Golf all situated a short stroll away from your accommodation. 

Every glamping accommodation has its own BBQ, fire pit and access to a communal pizza oven. You can even collect free fresh eggs from the Guest Services & Visitor Information Hub laid by the farm’s happy hens – when the hens oblige, of course!

Safari Tents (Sleeps 6 + 2) 
Perfect for families and groups of up to eight, each Safari Tent combines rustic chic with practical comforts, giving you a taste of camping without having to sacrifice those all-important luxuries!

Make yourself at home on the comfy sofas and in the spacious bedrooms, cook up a storm on the log burning range cooker before setting up the firepit for a relaxed evening just beyond your private decking area.

Each Safari Tent has its own private shower and toilet, fridge, BBQ, electricity and plenty of outdoor space to keep everyone entertained! Electric blankets will keep you cosy and warm in the cooler months too!
