We stayed in the Snug prior to the wedding showcase at East Afton Farmhouse. Even though there were guests nearby, it felt to private and lovely.
It had everything you’d want for a weekend getaway, we loved cooking on the barbecue and making breakfast in the small kitchen.

Fab little stay, great to be so close to the farmhouse for the wedding, comfy and really very helpful that some milk is in the fridge on arrival. Is very "snug" but the clue is in the name. Would definitely recommend.

Fun for us to stay on the actual site of the Isle of Wight Festival and recall memories of youthful abandon! This time we had a proper bed and creature comforts within the Snug. Once again, we were blessed with good weather and thoroughly enjoyed revisiting the island. Although our stay was remote from the Tapnell Farm complex, we took time to explore the activities on offer and have a meal at the Cow restaurant (yes, their burgers do live up to the hype). There are excellent facilities for children/families, well organised and staffed with friendly faces (we'll be recommending it for our own grandchildren). It being the end of season, we were fortunate in having the area to ourselves, the nearby Piggeries being unoccupied during our stay. We can imagine that it would not be such an ideal location with holidaymakers from the Piggeries traipsing past back and forth to their toilet block next to the Snug. The Snug lives up to its name, with space at a premium – had the bed (although undoubtedly a feat of metalwork) been built-in across the cabin, it would have afforded a few extra square feet of floorspace. The shower area could definitely have benefitted from hooks/pegs to hang towels/clothes. The switching of the bedside lights did not allow for independent use – a minor irritant. There's a fridge, kettle and toaster, otherwise cooking facilities are limited to a small microwave – unless the BBQ is put to use (firelighters and charcoal are thoughtfully provided). As we chose to eat out at the variety of pubs/restaurants/cafes on the island, the lack of a hob was not an issue for us. All in all, the accommodation worked perfectly for us and we were delighted with our stay – many thanks to Chloe and the staff at Tapnells!

Stayed here for a friend's wedding and because we're not local anymore decided to stay here where the wedding was held , it was a shame it was only for 2 nights and the weather wasn't great either which is obviously no fault of the owners but as a base for a few nights to explore the island it would be ideal .

My husband and I were on the Isle of Wight for a wedding at East Afton Farmhouse and stayed at The Snug for two nights. It was perfectly located, exactly as advertised and really tidy and clean.
Tom, Chloe and the team sent super helpful instructions ahead of our stay including driving routes etc. and we were made to feel very welcome.
I was really impressed with the accommodation - the team had thought of everything that we needed for a self-catering stay (there were tea towels and kitchen roll!).
If I had any feedback, it would be for a few hooks to be put up in the bathroom for towels :)
Definitely recommend staying here

The Snug is definitely “snug”, there is not a lot of room for two people, so I would travel light. That said I really enjoyed my overnight stay, the bed was extremely comfy, the little kitchen was well stocked, the shower was great. The views are fantastic. The customer service is fantastic.

What a cracking little pad. Very well kitted out, they have thought of everything. Very generously kitted out with coal, lighters, lovely milk, delicious cookies, the lot. Such a great place and in a stunning location. We couldn’t be happier with our stay thank you. Amanda in the office was so helpful too. She was amazing. Thank you x x

We had our wedding at East Afton and stayed in the Snug for our wedding night.
It was the perfect escape, toasty warm even in the winter.
Great place for a getaway.

As the name suggests this accommodation is a little cramped, Ideal for one night stay but no longer as there is nowhere to hang clothes or put suitcases. There is also no hooks to hang coats or jackets. It is a little cramped. The bed was unusual and needs a bedside cabinet or shelf to put personal belongings on when going to bed. The string is really nice but we visited in very wet conditions on a very rainy and wet day. Kitchen facilities were fine and welcome pack was good.
