Eco Pods

Cosy, romantic glamping

Sleeps 2 (+2 on sofa bed) • Private toilet/shower • Dog friendly

If you've ever dreamed of staying in your own country lodge, miles from the madding crowd, you'll feel right at home in our Eco Pods. These cosy, eco-friendly wooden cabins are perfectly proportioned for a romantic couple's escape – and perfectly positioned to soak up the Isle of Wight's glorious sunsets. Or why not plan a snug retreat for a family of four? In any case, you can expect warm nights, starlit evenings and days full of nature-fuelled, free-range fun.

Surprisingly spacious. Thoughtfully furnished.

Comfort was at the top of the agenda when we built our Eco Pods. Each is thoughtfully designed to maximise space and provide a warm, welcoming home base for adventures on the farm. Inside, you'll find a surprisingly spacious open-plan living area and kitchenette, leading to a comfortable double bed and private toilet/shower room. And out front, a spacious private decking area with outdoor seating and a fire pit – perfect for those long, lazy evenings.

Making the most of it is up to you. Let the kids roam as you sip (no, savour) morning coffee on the deck. Walk the Tapnell Trail from your doorstep to the downs. Share fresh, hot pizza from the communal oven. Make every day an adventure, or just relish the chance to cuddle up, wind down and feel, at last, like you can truly switch off.

Adventures close to home.

One of the perks of staying in our Eco Pods is that good, honest, people-powered fun is never far away. You're just around the corner from our farm attractions, including Tapnell Farm Park – a family favourite – and the Isle of Wight's only outdoor Aqua Park. For older kids and adults, there are sporty, adventure-fuelled activities too, such as air rifle shooting, padel tennis and pickleball.

When hunger strikes, head to The Cow – our award-winning on-site restaurant – for locally sourced burgers and steaks, as well as delicious vegetarian and vegan options. Or pick up a curated hamper and have fun cooking your own supper back at base. Here, every day is yours to make.

More to discover.

Head beyond the farm and you'll find sands, coves and downs waiting to be discovered. Head out on foot and explore the Tapnell Trail (right from your doorstep), or take a drive and be on the beach within 10 minutes. Or why not take an evening stargazing trip? The night skies look particularly spectacular from Brook Chine and Compton Bay.

  Luxury Family Glamping

We stayed 4 nights in the dome meadow in the most beautiful dome tent. On arrival the accommodation was spotless and so well presented with everything we needed for our stay. The dome was heated with a Dyson heater so we had a lovely warm welcome. The fridge was stocked with fresh milk and cold water, the fires were ready to be lit and all our beds were being warmed by electric blankets ready for the evening. The farm park was a 5 minute walk across the field, past the lambs and llama!! I have already recommended our stay to friends and we hope to be returning soon!!

  Great venue for a weekend break

Booked a long weekend break for the whole family + dog as a surprise 70th birthday treat for my wife. We thoroughly enjoyed it, the cabin style accommodation was really nice and for a group of 6 adults, 2 toddlers and a dog it did not seem cramped at all. The on site attractions were just right for the kiddies and we didn't have to go off site for anything, plenty to see and do. Heartily recommend it for people of all ages.
