East Afton Farmhouse & Annex
One of the Island's most precious gems
Sleeps 18 (+2 on sofa beds) • Recently refurbished • Dog friendly
East Afton Farmhouse & Annex have roots that run deep into the Island's landscape and culture. This grand homestead dates back to the 1700s and stands on the site of the original Isle of Wight rock festival. Now lovingly refurbished, the property has become one of our most impressive holiday homes, as well as a popular event venue. For large groups and adventurous families, it promises acres of nature and almost as much indoor space to play with.
East Afton Farmhouse & Annex are in regular use as a wedding and events venue. As such, the property is only available to book as a holiday let within one year of your arrival date. The farmhouse and annex cannot be booked separately.
Luxury lives here
If you hold period charm and modern comforts in equal regard, you'll be delighted to know that East Afton Farmhouse has both in abundance. You'll spot them in every corner. The grand old kitchen-diner with its AGA range. The beautiful roof terrace. The cinema room, with its dramatic lighting and comfortable theatre-style seating. And the beautiful gardens, gushing with colourful flora and fauna.
For an Island escape, it feels like a private palace tucked into the heart of nature. Perfect for sharing meals, movies and quality time, or as a home base for outdoorsy excursions around the Island. And with its two spacious event barns, it's just as unforgettable as a venue for weddings, parties and nature-fuelled business retreats.
Minutes from the heart of the action.
From East Afton Farmhouse & Annex, Tapnell's attractions and restaurant are a leisurely 30-minute walk away – or a scenic two-minute drive. Here, you'll find Tapnell Farm Park, where the whole family can meet our cute animals and kids can spend hours bouncing, playing and making memories. Or why not try one of our activities for grown-ups and older kids, such as padel tennis, target shooting or the Island's only outdoor Aqua Park?
And let's not forget our award-winning on-site restaurant, The Cow. Here, home-cooked burgers, steaks and vegan options showcase the best of local produce. Or, if you'd rather cosy up back at home, choose a luxury hamper and settle in for a feast of farm-fresh, locally sourced delights.
Moments from adventure.
Keen to explore? The Isle of Wight landscape is a treasure trove of hidden gems. One morning might mean coffee in Yarmouth and a stroll along its historic pier. The next, a stroll along the clifftops at Freshwater Bay. And for those seeking something a little wilder, there are endless outdoorsy activities to try – from tree climbing to wild swimming.
