Your next day off could look a little like this… 🍂

A morning of movement, an afternoon beside the lake, good food and a little time to switch off. All surrounded by the beautiful West Wight countryside.

Autumn is a wonderful time to find a little space for yourself at Tapnell Farm.

Start with a game of Padel or Pickleball with friends, or ease into your Friday with a yoga class with Vicki.

Then head down to the lake, where @slomo_wellbeing is all about slowing the pace. Wood-fired saunas, steaming Dutch hot tubs, a refreshing lake dip or the invigorating chill of the cold plunge. Take your time, enjoy the contrast and simply be in the moment.

Stay a little longer for lunch, dinner or a drink at The Cow. Or head out for a walk along the beautiful West Wight coastline, with no particular rush to get anywhere.

And if you're not quite ready to go home, why not make a night or two of it? Our farm stays offer more time to disconnect from the everyday and reconnect with nature. Think peaceful mornings surrounded by countryside, fresh air, spectacular West Wight sunsets and quiet evenings with nowhere else you need to be. Time to put your phone away, enjoy the little moments and simply switch off.

A few hours to yourself, a day with friends or a whole weekend away. However you choose to spend it, sometimes it's the simple things that feel the best.

🔥 Slomo is open Thursday – Sunday.

Good morning from Tapnell Farm 🌅

Quiet mornings, open countryside and the first light of a new day.

A beautiful sunrise from yesterday captured by one of our onsite team. Just a little glimpse of life on the farm 🤎

We were away for 24 hours.

One night. Four friends who couldn’t make it. Six of us who did. We cycled around the Isle of Wight, ate incredible food, sat in a sauna overlooking a lake, went to bed sore and woke up lighter than we’d felt in months.

We got the ferry from Lymington to Yarmouth. The crossing is 40 minutes. I stood on deck with a coffee and remembered being little, and how excited ferries used to make me feel. Turns out they still do.

While I was away, two of my friends reminded me how we used to take trips like this all the time. Then seasons changed. More kids. Divorces. Parents dying. Life in generation sandwich is not for the faint-hearted and time gets stolen.

Now things are a little calmer and we have a new setup, but the main characters are still there. The ones who are sticking around for a lifetime. We’re all a little battered and bruised, giving less fucks, and more determined to make the most of this one precious life.

Here’s what I noticed when I got home.

I didn’t need a week to reset. I didn’t need to wait until work calmed down, or the kids were sorted, or my diary had a clean gap in it. I needed 24 hours where I wasn’t the person holding everything together.

You know the trip I’m talking about. The one you keep saying you’ll organise when things settle. The weekend with your mates. The thing that would fill you back up.

Life never settles.

I’ve been wanting to do this trip for three years. Three years of telling myself I’d book it when I had more time. And the only reason this one happened is because I finally just booked it.

Book the trip. That’s the most important bit. Where you go, where you stay, what you do, it matters less than you think. What’s priceless is the laughs, the mishaps, the camaraderie. The distance between you and the pressure of everyday life. That’s what resets you.

If you’re waiting for the right moment, this is it.

ps let me know if you spot the red squirrel 🐿️

Shout out and thank you to:
@tapnellfarm @tapnellfarmaccommodation for gifting us the stay at their wonderful place
@slomo_wellbeing for inviting us to their hot & cold playground of dreams
@wightlinkferry for getting us there and back.

A little time on the mat with Vicki 🧘‍♀️🌿

Whether you're local to the Island or enjoying a stay with us at Tapnell Farm, why not join Vicki for a yoga class?

Just around the corner from the farm, at her peaceful garden studio, Yoga with Vicki offers a welcoming space to slow down, move, breathe and reconnect.

Vicki is already three weeks into her Root to Crown - Yoga for the Whole Woman course, a journey exploring the connection between body, breath and mind through yoga, meditation, functional movement, breathwork and restorative practices.

And the best part is, you don't need to be signed up for the full course to join in! Drop-in classes are £15, making it a great addition to your stay or something to look forward to in your weekly routine. And despite the course name, men are very welcome too!

Vicki was also recently featured in The Island magazine by @spencewillardiw, sharing her yoga journey, approach to teaching and connection to the Isle of Wight. A wonderful opportunity to get to know a little more about her and her work. Be sure to pick up a copy and have a read! 🤍

🌿 Class times:

Tuesdays | 6–7.15pm
Wednesdays | 9–10.15am
Fridays | 9.15–10.45am

Please note: There's a scheduled course break from 20 October – 2 November.

To find out more or book a class, contact Vicki directly on 07557 770184 or her instagram @‌yoga.with_vicki

Please check availability and upcoming class dates with Vicki before attending.

Your sign to take your dog to the Isle of Wight 🐶🤍

We travelled to the Isle of Wight with @redfunnelferry, and the whole process couldn’t have been easier. We drove on to the ferry from Southampton and were there in an hour! ⛴️ Ad

For accommodation, I don’t think you can beat @tapnellfarm. There’s so much to do on site, including The Cow restaurant, the aqua park, padel and tennis, plus a range of accommodation options to suit everyone 🙌

We absolutely loved the Isle of Wight and would love to go back and explore more of the island

Last weekend I had the absolute pleasure of holding a female trail weekend at @tapnellfarm @tapnellfarmaccommodation on behalf of @visitisleofwight with @redfunnelferry! As a Caulkhead (third generational islander!) I may be biased, but I think we have some of the most beautiful trail running in the UK! I just had to plan a route incorporating the Tennyson Trail (my absolute fav!), but also a nice coastal segment to showcase the stacks and beautiful coast along from Freshwater Bay to Compton Bay, continuing to our lunch stop at @isleofwightpearl where the tide even allowed a section on the actual beach 🌊! We had a mix of abilities and even some totally new to trail running, everybody did so well and it was such a special weekend to be involved with. After the run we had some R&R at one of my island favourites @slomo_wellbeing sauna/ice/hot tub 🧊🌡️, having our dinners at @thecowtapnellfarm - which I was happily surprised to have great vegan options too 🌱 , a special mention to the waffle 🧇 at dessert 😋!! I’ve ran these trails so many times and dreamed of doing something like this, so thank you to Visit Isle of Wight for the opportunity, and the girls for being such great company 🥰 Kira couldn’t quite finish the trail run on the Saturday, so we headed back out Sunday morning in the beautiful mist for a flatter, less technical route, as she was determined to hit the distance goal of the day before! 👊🏼🙌🏼 I then spent the afternoon spectating the @rydeharriers IOW marathon after, which goes by where we were staying, a brilliant weekend!! Another massive thank you to all the local companies I’ve tagged above, which made it possible! AD #visitisleofwight #isleofwight #femalerunner #isleofwightlife #uktrailrunning

Before you grab a coffee and your phone, pause.

Make yourself a hot water and lemon. Find a comfortable seat.

Feet grounded. Tall, strong spine. Open front body.

Take 10 conscious breaths, simply feeling the breath entering and leaving your body.

Count them if you need to. Add a mantra if you like.

This week, I’m loving:

I choose to create my own experience.

Inspired by a student today who asked how she could make her hectic mornings feel different.
Perhaps it starts here.

10 breaths. Steady stillness. A moment to arrive.

Taking time to return to the present moment is at the heart of yoga - and at the heart of returning to ourselves.

This is where transformation begins.
