Wow… if we were at the caravan this half term then this would be an absolute MUST for our youngest! If you happen to be visiting then I would always recommend Tapnell, it’s a fab day out… add unicorns to the mix and it’s got to be epic!

Giddy up for our Unicorn and Horses! 🦄

Our fairy-tale week is not the week to miss out at Tapnell Farm Park…We’re ready for all things magical and enchanting! 💫

You get the chance to meet Cloud the Unicorn! 😍

Worried no one will believe you? Don’t worry, there will be photo and petting opportunities with Cloud the Unicorn! 📸

You can also enjoy a gentle walk around one of our fields on one of Cloud's horsey pal's back (£3.50 per ride, cash only). 😲

We had a great week at the caravan last week and managed to find a few new places to visit that we can recommend!
Day trips: The Needles… always a favourite of ours
Tapnell Farm… it’s fab and we love visiting here, it was great to find a few new additions since our last visit a couple of years ago now we loved the toboggan run and the mini golf
Amazon World… what’s not to love about a lemur on your head!
Butterfly World… this was a new visit for us and we loved it! Definitely somewhere we would go again
Sandown Beach … our favourite
Pirates Crazy golf at Shanklin… it’s a must for us!
The Garlic Farm… a must visit to restock on our favourite supplies
Arreton Barns … the fudge is devine!
A few dips in the pool outdoors at Lower Hyde was great and also we visited Landguard and used their outdoor pool
Places to eat:
Spyglass Inn at Ventnor
the Cow at Tapnell Farm… THE best burgers on the island without a doubt
The Hideaway at Shanklin… nice to try somewhere new, great atmosphere and service Frank loved the steak and Guinness pie!
The Steamer Inn at Shanklin… another new one for us and it’s right at the top of our list for a return visit… the food was amazing, quick service and great views
Dairyman’s Daughter… another firm favourite

We had an awesome week over at the caravan setting it back up for the new season. Couldn’t resist a few beach days and this is one of our favourite… just 10 minutes away is Sandown beach we also enjoyed Shanklin Seafront this week with the obligatory game of pirates crazy golf as well as finding a lovely little cafe we hadn’t used before where we had chips sat by the beach. Roll on summer!

Helloooo! It’s been a while but with the roadmap to recovery we are hoping that things are looking positive for our bookings over this spring and summer. We can’t get over to the caravan to get it set back up for the season until the restrictions are lifted in April so fingers crossed for that to happen... here are our vacancies for the rest of this season. Please note there are a few shorter stays available which I’ve indicated with a start and end date but all other vacancies are Saturday to Saturday. Do drop us a message to chat about pricing and remember we also include a ferry crossing with Red Funnel in our prices! Roll on the summer sun ☀️

22/08/2020

Did you know we include a return ferry crossing with Red Funnel in the prices for our caravan? We are heading home this evening after a lovely week relaxing on the island... there are a few dates available in September if you are looking to get away! Personally I think the ferry journey makes it feel like a holiday abroad even if it’s just a trip across the Solent! 😎🚢

18/08/2020

A pretty good day for finding a quiet spot on the beach by the pier... this is our personal favourite beach and the one we recommend though there are many other great ones to choose from!

17/08/2020

With views like this just 5 minutes from the caravan why would you holiday anywhere else? We have spaces this September and October for a quiet getaway!

16/08/2020

Lovely and sunny this afternoon at Sandown beach.... you can see the view back to Shanklin here. Plenty of social distancing going on here today which is reassuring too. We did discover that several restaurants are already booked up for this week which is a bit disappointing so we recommend booking in advance if you can and know where you want to go.

15/08/2020

We are over on the island ourselves this week and I’m looking forward to investigating how well the island is handling everything with COVID. So far the ferry with Red Funnel was good and the beach at Sandown was lovely and quiet due to the weather being overcast. Perfect for a quiet paddle and an ice cream 🍦😍 with the whole beach pretty much to ourselves! 🙌🏻

We’re delighted to be able to once again share our Island and its beaches, rolling countryside, amazing food, unique places to stay and so much more. 🏖
