  Lovely cottage in a perfect location in Yarmouth town centre with all shops and facilities on your doorstep which was perfect for us in our favourite place on the island.

  PRO’S Property was really nice inside with comfy furniture in the lounge area and all the modern facilities you would require such as WiFi and tv. Separate dining room from lounge that leads to kitchen which has everything you need and all modern appliances. Beds were comfy and the views from the top bedroom and balcony are fantastic looking at the sea and boats as you look to the right. The owner was helpful sending a welcome pack to us via email in advance and also organised a parking permit for us at their cost which was really appreciated to park nearby as there is no parking at the property. However I would say before 10am and after 6pm we established there is alternative parking nearby for free in the town centre near the Bugle pub as well which is around 50 yards away. CON’S Only downsides found with the property was the low beams in a couple of the bedrooms as you enter them and the top bathroom as my husband hit his head a few times (husband is just under 6 foot). However none of my other party hit their head so I would also put that down to my husbands clumsiness! We also had an older relative with us that did struggle with the stairs a little which although there are only a few steps they are quite narrow and on a bend with difficult located handrails but the rest of us adults and kids found the stairs no problem and there were no accidents thankfully. Overall a lovely weeks stay at a quaint cottage and we were considering to come back next year again (2024) had the week we wanted been available again. However we will certainly consider staying here again for a future holiday to the island if it’s still available.

  We love old and historic buildings, so from that viewpoint, this was right up our street.

  Great location, slap bang in the centre of Yarmouth. Very handy for the fabulous fish & chips next door! We arrived late on the Friday evening and were given the wrong set of keys by Hardy's. Also, rather reluctantly told that we were 'entitled' to 2 pints of milk. It's not what you say, it's the way....... The house was freezing and didn't seem 'guest ready'. All in all, a rather unwelcoming start. The low beams were a problem right from the get go and my husband nearly knocked himself out on a number of occasions. It was so bad we considered returning home early but we managed to better navigate things as the days went by. The little log burner was gorgeous but sadly very few logs were left for us to burn. Disappointing that we had to pay our own way to supplement the heating, as a few more logs would've gone a long way. I guess we weren't quite prepared for a winter break and assumed (wrongly) that the heating side of things would be taken care of. The week felt like a battle to stay warm as well as stay safe (from the beams). The kitchen was so cold, that we had to put the Aga stove on to help warm the room up, as there was no other mode of heating. In a nutshell, the overall stay was disappointing and I'm sure it would've been quite a different experience in the summer. I think it would take only a small effort to get this lovely cottage up to a winter stay standard, so please don't take my feedback as completely negative. The view from the master bedroom window was wonderful and was a joy to wake up to every morning. We're regulars to Yarmouth, and everyone is so friendly.

  We had a fantastic stay here.

  Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The views are amazing and great for birdwatchers. We saw/heard about 15 species from the back garden and would probably be great for winter birdwatching too as this is a wetland area. You have a completely separate raised section of the family's larger garden and apart from their older son occasionally riding his bike we never saw anyone and there was virtually no noise from the other properties. The road at the front is barely noticeable in the back garden and quietens right down at night. The property is just steps away from The Solent across the road where you can walk along the sea wall into pretty Yarmouth. There are lots of footpaths near the property and we did a walk that runs parallel at a distance from the property around the woods. This leads you to the edge of Yarmouth and the lovely Off The Rails cafe and then along the estuary to the Red Lion at Freshwater. We also found the dinosaur footprint casts at Hanover Point. We would love to come back again to this area and the property.

  Windy Ridge is a perfect home away from home and an ideal location.

  Yarmouth itself is only a 15 minute walk from the house and is a beautiful place. It was our second time staying in Yarmouth, we enjoyed it so much last year that we booked for this year while still there! The Wheatsheaf is a wonderful pub and we ate there 3 times. The food is excellent, service very good, friendly staff and also has a nice outdoor space. Gossips Cafe is also definitely worth a visit, good food and a beautiful view. Inez was an excellent host, she came to greet us on our arrival day to let us know she was on hand, she came to make sure we'd had a good stay on the day we left and was available to answer any questions during the week. The road is busy and if you're in the in the upstairs bedroom there is quite a bit of traffic noise. However, the gorgeous view more than makes up for it and wouldn't stop us booking again. Lovely little garden area at the back too, also with a stunning view. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

  The arrangements were organised very well and we met Mr Brady at the allotted time.

  The cottage was comfortable for the two of us, it would have suited a couple and a child, but I think four people would have struggled. We did not cook during our stay, but the kitchen equipment seemed to be satisfactory, although it would be very useful to have a small freezer, even just for making ice within the fridge. A bit more shelving space in the bathroom and a larger shower head would also be useful. But the very hot water was ideal. We used the cafe next door for coffee/tea/Sunday lunch - a roast carvery and for a breakfast. All very good. The walk into Yarmouth is not far, which again is a bonus. There is a small stretch of beach that is slightly difficult to walk on due to the stones and if walking at night, you do need a torch. All in all we had a very enjoyable week and this was an ideal quiet base to get out and about to see the Island.
