Guests say

Guests appreciate the property's excellent location and proximity to the beach, with many enjoying the peaceful environment and the nearby cafe. The property owner is noted for being helpful and responsive. However, some guests suggest updates to the furnishings and mention the need for a freezer compartment in the fridge.

The property generally maintains good cleanliness, though there are isolated reports of dog hairs and a need for deeper cleaning, particularly with the sofa and mattress.

The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, proximity to the beach, and walking distance to Yarmouth, making it a standout feature of the property.

Comfort receives mixed reviews, with some guests finding the property clean and comfortable, while others suggest improvements to seating and bedding.

Facilities are adequate but several guests have requested a freezer compartment in the fridge, and there are comments about the need for better shower pressure and more kitchen equipment.

There is insufficient information regarding thoughtful touches such as gifts, and therefore this category cannot be scored.

About this property

This charming beachfront Yarmouth coastal cottage apartment offers a warm rustic open plan living accommodation with fantastic panoramic coastal views across the Solent towards the mainland from the upper floor. This Yarmouth cottage is a converted old boathouse, and now consists of a loft-style bedroom, while on the ground floor you can unwind on the inviting sofa, planning your next day’s activities. From your patio, why not enjoy a walk along the shingle beach, while enjoying the ever-changing scenery and sometimes extremely dramatic waters of the Solent? The perfect romantic coastal retreat. Note: This property can be booked with Refs. 4220, 4221, 4222, 905105, 905107 and 906577, together they sleep 20.

The attractive seaside town of Yarmouth is the oldest town on the Isle of Wight, and its busy harbour is a haven for all kinds of watercraft, with the terminal used for regular mainland ferry crossings. Yarmouth's narrow streets are home to an array of shops and inns, whilst a visit to Henry viii's castle is not to be missed. There's great cycling and walking to be had along the coastal path, or why not take an energetic stroll across to the nearby Tennyson Down? Sandhard beach is 15 minutes' walk away, and is ideal for swimming and crabbing from the jetty. 4 miles away is Compton beach, famous for dinosaur remains; go there at low tide and see if you can find the two enormous three-toed feet. West Wight is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Yarmouth is an ideal base from which to explore this wonderful island.

  • Catherine

    There was only a 2 seat sofa,there was 3 of us ,so we took turns to sit on it. Other than that it was fine.

  • Kevin

    We were a little disappointed with the cleanliness as there were dog hairs and a half eaten dog chew in centre of the settee. We also feel the need for a freezer compartment in the fridge as have to keep getting ice from other people or the cafe. We have mentioned this before. Other than these points we enjoyed our stay.

  • Hilary

    Great location for dog owners. Lovely walks on the beach and in the country park on your doorstep. Quiet and relaxing with the cafe nearby. Also walking distance to Yarmouth with many lovely places to see and eat such as King Henry's castle and Salties. Minor detail - Could have done without cover on sofa as it kept coming off. A great place to relax and explore.
