Chalets
A classic family bolthole with panoramic countryside views
Sleeps 6 • 3 bedrooms • Dog friendly
Whether it's a family escape or an outdoorsy adventure with friends, our holiday chalets promise a rejuvenating blend of contemporary convenience and authentic rural life. They're set within picturesque rural surroundings, yet are only a short stroll from our attractions and restaurant. And with cosy furnishings and modern facilities aplenty, they feel like farm-reared homes from home. In other words, they're perfect family hideaways – a welcome excuse to swap screen time for quality time.
Peace, quiet and all the perks of modern living
Meticulously presented and furnished, our chalets suit those seeking simple, elegant luxury among the soul-stirring grandeur of the Great Outdoors. Each features an open-plan living and dining space – complete with log burner – plus a well-equipped kitchenette and a toilet/shower room. Outside, meanwhile, the spacious decking area provides a private viewing platform for the Island's rainbow sunsets and ink-black, star-speckled nights.
As for the days, they're yours to make your own. A trip to the Farm Park to meet the animals, perhaps (free of charge as a staying guest). An afternoon spent exploring the Island and its many hidden gems. Or, maybe, just an indulgent day in with your favourite people in your new favourite spot.
Just a few steps away from family fun.
You'll find our chalets at the Camp Tapnell glamping grounds, a few short steps from our attractions and restaurant. That means you never have to go far to fuel up or let off steam. Visit Tapnell Farm Park, where you can meet cute animals and kids can enjoy boundless play. Try your hand at something different, like padel tennis or air rifle shooting. Or settle in at The Cow, our award-winning family restaurant, for a relaxed banquet of home-cooked, locally sourced delights.
Remember: as a staying guest, you become a Tapnell VIP. This grants you unlimited visits to the Farm Park during opening hours, as well as a generous discount on some of our most popular activities.
A whole Island to discover.
The days feel longer here on the Island, which means plenty of time to get out there and explore. By day, you can explore the cobbled streets of Yarmouth, catch the surf at Compton Bay or ride the trains at the Steam Railway. As for the evening, why not head to a cosy local pub or find a quiet spot and watch the stars?
