One of the best family-friendly AirBnB’s in the UK revealed
AROUND the country are some incredible Airbnbs, but this one on the Isle of Wight has been dubbed one of the best in the UK for families.
The pretty glamping site sits on the edge of Tapnell Farm Park so it’s the perfect base to explore its aqua park and activity centre.
The Times named these domes as one of the ’15 of the best family-friendly Airbnbs in the UK’.
The publication said: “The domes are great for the fun factor, as they feel like camping but come with proper showers, beds and kitchenettes.
“There are five domes in their own meadow, so you could book out more depending on the size of your party.
“Some have outdoor hot tubs, and all come with a barbecue and firepit. Although the Cow restaurant comes in handy when you don’t fancy doing the cooking.”
Guests staying at one of the five domes enter through an extension where there’s an en-suite bathroom and kitchenette.
Further inside the domes is an open living space and sleeping areas with a dividing wall for the bunk room.
The domes are insulated too, and each bed has an electric blanket so it’s cosy during winter too.
Outside, the domes have their own barbecue, firepit, communal pizza oven too and picnic tables to enjoy al fresco dining.
Two of the domes also have outdoor hot tubs.
Dome 5 (which comes with a hot tub) sleeps up to six and can be booked for £1,191 – this works out at £39.70pppn.
The domes are found in a secluded meadow – but it’s just a five-minute walk to Tapnell Farm Park.
Tapnell Farm is a family-friendly attraction with its own farm, aqua park as well as go-karting and bike hire.
Inside the Straw Adventure are trampolines, pedal go-karts and straw bale play zones, with bridges and tunnels.
There’s an indoor soft play barn across three-storeys and a coffee house for the grown-ups.
On sunny days, head outside for jumping pillows, sledge slides, outdoor playground and mini golf.
Wallaby Walkabout is a spot where visitors can meet the resident wallabies and feed them.
Tapnell Farm is also home to Isle of Wight’s only outdoor Aqua Park.
The giant inflatable opens for the season on May 8, and has lots of slides, ladders and obstacle courses.
Other activities include clay pigeon shooting, football, frisbee, padel and pickleball.
Entry to Tapnell Farm start from £14 for adults and £16 for children (between 2-16).
For those wanting to splash about in the aqua park, tickets are £22per person.
Away from Tapnell Farm, nearby is the pretty Freshwater Bay which is a quiet, single beach with dramatic white cliffs.
Compton Beach is also a ten-minute drive away with golden sand and is popular for fossil hunting and swimming.
