About this cottage rental

This delightful cottage is situated a short stroll from the centre of the historic and picturesque harbour town of Yarmouth. The cottage provides accommodation for couples and small families alike. The enclosed courtyard garden with gated side access is ideal for cycle storage.

Yarmouth is located on the western side of the Island with a natural harbour guarded by Yarmouth Castle, a fortification built to protect the Solent from invading forces by Henry VIII. The Harbour attracts many yachts and motor cruisers which take advantage of the estuary afforded by the River Yar.

The Lymington to Yarmouth car and passenger ferry docks in the harbour, making holidaying with or without a car easy, as only a short stroll from the cottage.

This bustling town has an active community all year round. The square has a varied range of shops and delightful eating establishments. The 700ft long Victorian pier is a great place to go fishing and boat trips can be taken from here to various destinations.

There are walks along the promenade and the former railway track, called "The Causeway", which provides a delightful walk along the banks of the Yar towards Freshwater, with local wildlife in abundance and many species of birds. This is also a cycle track with many miles linking other tracks across the Island.

Places of interest and of outstanding natural beauty include The Needles, Alum Bay with its coloured sands, chair lift and Pleasure Park, Tennyson Down and miles of outstanding coastal scenery from nearby Freshwater Bay.

The cottage was lovely for a week away with my 2 children. It was well equipped and nicely setup - and great location for walking around locally as well as easy to explore the rest of the island. Would definitely stay again.

Echoing the title - a cosy and comfortable little cottage - very well situated for the ferry and the charming town of Yarmouth. The key safe is old and we had difficulty opening it. This could do with some attention.

This is the 4th year we've stayed at Admirals Cottage. It's a lovely cottage a few minutes walk from the harbour and town centre.

Admirals cottage is perfectly situated in Yarmouth close to all the lovely little town offers. So easy to pop out for a meal or pint of milk .. without a drive. Walks to beautiful scenery and the sea are on the doorstep. The cottage has a well equipped kitchen and was kept clean and well maintained . My only issues were a lack of a DVD player.. no shaving socket in bathroom to charge toothbrush! Upstairs bathroom would benefit from an over bath shower . Just a few things which would have made it a little more welcoming. We had a great time though !!

Loved everything about the property and the area. Excellent facilties in the cottage, very comfortable and clean. The only thing lacking was a microwave oven. There is no parking at the property but plenty of space in the public car park across the road, purchasing a tourist parking permit allows parking in all the council run car parks on the island, so not really a problem. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

Have just returned from Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, and stayed at a small two bedroomed cottage. Location was perfect, exactly what I wanted and needed. I have stayed in many places over the years but I have to say a hearty congratulations to the cleaners as this was immaculate and a pleasure to stay in. So clean, no musty smells, nice linen - great well equipped kitchen. Would definitely stay here again should I have the opportunity of visiting IOW again and have already recommended this to friends. Unfortunately the weather was wet so we could not sit in the courtyard and enjoy a glass of wine which would have been a bonus. Only drawback was there is no parking outside the cottage and you keep needing to "feed" the council car park meter which was a bit irritating as one needed to get up early in the morning too! However, cars were not intended to sit outside these dear old cottages so you cannot have it all ways. Brilliant stay. Thank you.
