"Excellent , we'll be back."
-
"This was a really lovely cottage."
Very light, modern, well equipped and extremely comfortable. The private outside area at the back was lovely and 2 bathrooms was a real bonus. It was great to have tea, coffee, cleaning stuff including dishwasher tabs, all there. Thank you for a fabulous stay. Would definitely return and recommend.

"Lovely bungalow in picturesque part of the Isle of Wight."
Nice walks into Yarmouth and Freshwater. Nice peaceful and quiet location and great view of the stars at night
-
"Fabulous place we really enjoyed our stay at Yarmouth cottages so peaceful."
The location is great for visiting all the attractions on the island. Thank you so much for letting us stay at your lovely property.
-
"What a great place to stay."
Away from the noise and easy to get to to all the attractions on the island most distance travelled was 30mins. The accommodation was really good and comfortable, really clean, well maintained and all essentials needed for a self catering holiday. Tesco’s was less than 5mins away drive. Saw the owner on the first day was really lovely,10/10 for her hospitality and the cottages

"What a lovely cottage,clean and comfortable and in a lovely area for exploring Freshwater."
-
"Lovely cottage."
Everything we needed was there. Immaculately clean. Kitchen very well equipped. Good location. Easy parking. We had a super holiday and look forward to returning.
-
"Hi. Really enjoyed our stay."
Comfortable, clean, easy to park outside. We couldn't find a cheese grater, so we bought one and left it. The seat on the downstairs WC was rather loose.
-
"I’d probably give a 3 and a half star ."
The property was clean . The property was very small we were due to take a 3rd adult but it would of been very tight the setee had three small seats and was uncomfortable and there was a small ( child’s chair ) in the corner personally the property was suitable for two adults only. The pictures gave the impression it was two cottages on its on set remotely which was misleading and building works were going on which were in early stages . People were able to walk past our back garden dog walking so no privacy .
-
"We absolutely loved the cottage."
However the only downfall is that there is no enclosed garden for dogs .. that would have made it much easier for us with the dog. Was still a fantastic stay
-
"It was a lovely comfortable accommodation lovely surroundings and very quiet."
Every need was available. Only problem bedside lamps were too dim to read by in bed. We had a very happy stay over Christmas.
-
"Get a few newer things in to the cottage, comfy sofa, bed and pillows"
-
"Pleasantly situated."
Within easy driving reach of amenities. A very agreeable stay was had.
-
"The family who own the cottages are very friendly, their large house is on the same site."
We had difficulty finding the cottage, the directions need to be improved. The pillows on the bed are at the end of their lives, definitely need new ones! There was no tin opener in the cottage, we shared one with the next door. There was only one lamp in the double bedroom, you need one either side of the bed as we both read at night. The plus points - location is perfect. Shower is wonderful. Very nice kitchen. Size of property is good. We had a great holiday.
-
"This property is well proportioned and has a far amount of room inside for a family of four."
Was really hard to find especially as we arrived at night the postcode provided took us to a neighbouring property more signage would be really helpful as you can not see the property from the road. I think these were great lets in the day, however they now need a lot of maintenance. the state of the sofa was really bad, the door handle on the downstairs toilet is about to come off! The pull light cords in the bathrooms are absolutely disgusting, and the whole place really needs a revamp, there was only a few toilet rolls provided which seems rather tight for the amount of money you are paying, also as a holiday let there were certain items missing such as sugar basic sauce etc I know these are not listed as there but are something you expect with this type of property.
-
"Thank you for a lovely stay."
The only feedback we really have is the downstairs toilet seat was damaged and it would have been nicer to have an enclosed garden.
-
"Nice stay, only few complaints, would have been nice if the garden was enclosed, the downstairs toilet seat was a little broken and only 2 loo rolls but otherwise a nice place very quiet and peaceful."
-
"The property was beautiful with everything you could ever want or need."
A really relaxing and comfortable stay for all. Will definitely be returning. Thank you for making it so special
-
"The property was very clean and tidy with good facilities."
There were no instructions for any of the appliances and we never did master the coffee machine. The upstairs bathroom could be improved by mounting the shower on the wall and installing a shower curtain or splash panel. Over all we were happy with our stay and would stay there again if holidaying in the area.
-
"This is a very clean and comfortable property."
It provided good value for money and, in turn, a very pleasant holiday. It is well situated in a beautiful part of the island. The property boasts a well equipped kitchen; with all you’ll practically need and more. The bathrooms are also of a good solid standard. The friendly owners are also on hand if you were to need anything. Thanks for a great stay.
-
"The cottage was perfect for our stay."
It had everything we needed and was great for the dog too.
-
"We cannot fault our stay at 5 Yarmouth Cottages given the price charged for a 7 night stay."
The property is a modern built property and is furnished accordingly. The owners allow pets, therefore dog friendly. Some reviews mentioned the furniture being worn, however, whilst not new, is is what to be expected of a dog-friendly property in our opinion. The cottages, numbers 1-6, are located on a private driveway, set well back from other properties which is nice. They have small but private patio areas, and good car parking outside each cottage. The location is quiet, but close enough to amenities a short drive away. There is a local farm shop within walking distance, the walk-in entrance being opposite the private driveway. There were just the two of us and our English Bulldog. If I were to find anything amiss, it would be our cottage was not equipped with a vacuum cleaner (just a sweeping brush) to clean-up the 'Dudley's dog hairs before we left, which is something we like to do out of respect for others property. Chatting to the occupiers of Cottage number 6 next door, on us leaving, they did indeed have a hoover but not us in number 5.
-
"We stayed in this cottage for a long cycling weekend."
It was perfectly located just up from Yarmouth ferry terminal. It was clean, comfortable, quiet (I didn't need my ear plugs to sleep at night). Perfect for our needs and we will be back!
-
"The directions given were wrong, we only found the property after a call to the owner."
Location is good for walking with plenty of footpaths nearby. The cottage is well equipped but it's let down by the shabby and uncomfortable sofa and chair.
-
"We like to stay here as away from the hub bub very peaceful and we can take our dog."
However last year and this year there have been building and maintenance going on making it difficult at times to access, disappointed that more houses are going to be built up reducing the space and serenity. The property is perfect for us however needs some upgrade with the settee and chair very hard and uncomfortable with the weather sometimes you stay in and more comfortable furniture would be welcomed, also the pillows are flat and beds very hard need an upgrade. Everything else is very good and well equipped.
-
"Lovely location and very quiet x"
-
"Garden furniture is not the most comfortable, but otherwise the property is pretty much 100% PERFECT."
-
"A really comfortable cottage that is beautifully modern and tastefully decorated."
Our dog relaxed straight away. Strange entrance to the cottages as you drive through the outside hardstanding of a separate property. Maybe once the outside areas are finished, there will be a dedicated pathway to the cottages. Very quite surrounding area so a peaceful sleep.
-
"Had an excellent stay at the property."
Very clean, everything worked, great WiFi. Really liked the spacious, comfortable upstairs bedroom. Highly recommended.
-
"Stay ruined by being cheated out of my cashback on the topcashback website by Sykes!"
!! Time for a new holiday company!!!
-
"Sofa and armchair not very comfortable."
Downstairs shower needs small rack for shampoo etc, have to place on floor not practical for a disable person. When washing machine used whole of ground shook Very warm and cosy ,very quite and peaceful. Would definitely book again.
-
"Please be advised that the laminate flooring is slippery."
This resulted in going to Dunelm in Newport to buy some runners. I accept that the flooring must adhere to Covid cleaning methods etc, but please be cautious if you are an elder or a dog owner.
-
"Wonderful situation for exercising the dog with the Golden Hill National Park next door."
Bridle paths & footpaths which wasn’t mentioned.
-
"Perfect peaceful relaxing get away stayed here several times and very happy with the facilities plenty of parking as we travel across for the Classic Car Extravaganza in Ryde close to the ferry port of Yarmouth so easy access away from the business of the island, a good base to travel around from ."
-
"All of the seating was uncomfortable, particularly the patio furniture which was cast iron made you reluctant to sit outside."
-
"The cottage is pet friendly and could really benefit with having a hoover available."
Also the garden furniture could be replaced with something a bit comfier to sit on.
-
"Within essential items to bring it said DVD’s which we which we took - however there was no DVD Player in the cottage."
-
"Directions to the property are wrong,you should turn left off the A3054."
The cottage is located in a lovely area and we enjoyed our holiday on the island.
-
"New build cottages in a very green area."
Lovely decor inside .Home comforts .extremely clean !comfy beds .Peaceful area.Second stay here.Feels like home .See you next time !
-
"Cottage was lovely and clean, and even smelt clean when we arrived!"
The bed was comfortable, but our personal preference would have been for a lighter duvet. The settee and chair in the lounge area were not comfortable, and could have been improved by some cushions, but unfortunately these had been removed due to covid (not the owners fault). On returning home we noticed that the internal cottage photos on the Sykes web site for upstairs and the bathrooms appear to relate to No 6, and No 6 photos relate to No 5!
-
"Lovely location perfect for dogs."
The accomodation is spacious, clean and well designed. Can't think of anything that needs improvement. With the large shower room on the ground floor it's perfect for someone with limited mobility. We will certainly rebook the cottage.
-
"Beautiful cottage in a lovely setting and very dog friendly."
Owner responded to one query within 5 minutes and would definitely return.
-
"It's a lovely cottage, just not for us because we both have some mobility issues, which made the upstairs bed and the sofa a bit too low for us to get off of!"
we had to manage with the sofa, but spent the holiday sleeping in single beds. it's a fantastic spot though, very quiet and private, perfect for young families. the downstairs shower was great and parking not a problem. we are unlikely to stay again, but it's perfect for family, so I'd recommend ☆☆☆☆
-
"The cottage was lovely - shower and bath taps difficult to use and adjust for heat and using shower head in bathroom."
Location was good for scenic areas of island and Military Road. Investment in better mattress would be good. The discarded toys and other items around the entrance to the cottages did not give a good first impression and was a shame as otherwise could be beautiful. We have booked again for Easter as we enjoyed the island which are truly dog friendly - however some small incidences of intolerance from residents of the island experienced when travelling around the island.
-
"Fantastic, lovely setting, definitely revisit."
-
"A lovely, comfortable cottage in beautiful surroundings."
Nice little touches such as coffee capsules, sugar, washing up liquid for us to use. Owner was friendly and helpful. Will definitely recommend to friends and will use again when in the Isle of Wight.
-
"Just that everything was lovely except the sofa and chair were very uncomfortable that was our only problem."
-
"Very comfortable well appointed cottage in a convenient location for Yarmouth ferry terminal."
Very minor suggestions - toilet roll holders in both bathrooms, shower curtain in upstairs bathroom, longer flexes on bedside lamps.
-
"Great experience by any standard."
Great people, great location and outstanding value for money. The accommodation was spotless with help readily available whenever required. 5 Yarmouth is reservedly quiet and tranquil. Our boys were extremely happy and pushed for another week of stay. The neighbourhood is outrageously pleasant, and my boys always had local kids to play with whenever time allowed. The young lady looking after the property was exceedingly kind and helpful….I can’t wait to go back.
-
"A lovely cottage in beautiful Norton Green, well appointed and had everything we needed."

About the location
FRESHWATER
Yarmouth 3 miles; Cowes 16 miles; Fishbourne 16 miles; Ryde 18 miles.
Freshwater is situated at the western tip of the Isle of Wight and consists of Freshwater Village and Freshwater Bay. Freshwater village offers a good selection of small independent shops, cafes and the West Wight Sports Centre and Indoor Swimming Pool. The magnificent high chalk cliffs, rolling downs and delightful beaches at Freshwater Bay and nearby Compton Bay attract many visitors and surfers all year round. The renowned Freshwater Bay Golf Club, which overlooks the English Channel has stunning coastal sea views from most tees and offers a superb day out for golfers of all abilities, whilst the area is a haven for birdwatchers, cyclists and walkers with many wonderful walks to be enjoyed not only on West Wight but across the entire Isle of Wight criss-crossing over a much varied island landscape. Locally, Afton Down (the location of the famous 1970 Isle of Wight Music Festival), and Tennyson Down are the most popular walks. At the foot of Tennyson Down is the Dimbola Museum and Photographic Galleries. The Needles Pleasure Park at Alum Bay with its coloured sand cliffs and chairlift to the beach is just south west of Freshwater, plus a little further afield on the north coast of the Isle of Wight is the premier yachting centre of Cowes. Osborne House (the former home of Queen Victoria) is located at East Cowes. The nearby Farringford Hotel on the edge of Freshwater Bay was once the home of the British Poet Laureate, Alfred Lord Tennyson, and many notable poets, authors and painters have been attracted to the area of West Wight over the years. With the seaside town of Yarmouth close by with its busy harbour and pier, shops, inns, eateries and impressive Tudor castle, this is an ideal base for an enjoyable holiday.
