NEW for 2019 – Geodesic Domes

Set apart from our Tom’s Eco Lodge glamping accommodation but nestled in the beautiful countryside surroundings of Tapnell Farm, the Domes provide high quality glamping accommodation and command the most amazing panoramic views of rolling countryside and stunning sunsets.

Each Dome sleeps up to six people and provides home comforts in a relaxed setting with an open plan living/sleeping area, with dividing wall for the bunk room. The main king size four poster bed is the centrepiece of the room which includes a cosy lounge area with log burner and a small kitchenette. Outside, each Dome has its own private area with BBQ and campfire to relax and enjoy the stunning sunsets.   

Just a short stroll away, each Dome is allocated a private male and female shower and toilet facility within our newly built washroom block – complete with flushing toilet, hot shower and underfloor heating. 

Safari Tents – Sleeping 6 + 2

The Safari Tents are set into Tapnell spinney, at the heart of Tapnell Farm. The woodland (spinney) gives the lodges shelter from the prevailing south-west wind, while the site has panoramic views of sea and rural landscape.
