About this property
Admirals Cottage - a cottage that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms
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.

Lovely Holiday Cottage
This cottage is in a great location, very close to all the amenities in Yarmouth. It is clean and well-equipped. We soon felt "at home" here and were sad to leave at the end of our holiday.

Character cottage in a very convenient location.
The cottage was clean throughout and the kitchen well equipped. The description given by the letting agents - not the owner said there was on street parking. This was incorrect and queried with the letting agents who failed to respond. The downside for us was lack of parking and no hanging space in the double bedroom. There is also a steep step down from the bedroom into the bathroom. A grab rail would have been helpful. The location was quiet and very convenient for the amenities in the town.
Amazing location, 10/10 cleanliness, information provided about things to do. Beautiful and peaceful space.

A stay in May
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.

Cosy comfortable and convenient cottage.
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.

Perfectly located cottage
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 !!

Admirals Cottage September 2021
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.

Compact, but handy location
Great location, quiet but handy for town centre. Useful to have 2 bathrooms.
We found the key safe hard to open, even after some wd-40. It would be good to replace it. Kitchen is rather cramped- we kept tripping over the furniture!

Lovely cottage in a great location
Had a wonderful holiday at this cosy, comfortable cottage in the centre of Yarmouth, minutes’ walk from the sea, shops and restaurants. The property was very clean and well-equipped and I would definitely be happy to stay there again. Parking is in a nearby public car park, with a weekly permit currently costing around £53. However, Yarmouth is well-served by buses (online weekly permit £25) and there is a stop at the end of the road. Highly recommended all round.

Admiral's Cottage stay
Enjoyed the new table and chairs at the back of the property.A couple of the table lamps in the front room had broken shades a bulb was missing from one of them and couldn't find a replacement bulb.
We have stayed at Admirals numerous times and will stay here again.

A well located property
The house was well situated very close to the centre of Yarmouth in a quiet street. A good range of Shops, Restaurants and Pubs close by.
Well equipped although some of the decor is becoming slightly tired. Could do with larger bath towels!
Parking does need to be arranged in the main town car park close by as it is impossible to find a space on the surrounding streets.

Admirals cottage july 2019
Excellent holiday many thanks. A few minor issues of which i believe you are aware,such as refuse collection why the bin is not numbered, no up to date calendar for collection dates. Also the stair handrail,and guttering to the rear of the property need attention. We would also suggest an upgrade to the hair dryer. This is not intended as a grumble,as we had a wonderful time.

A great cottage
We found this cottage quiet, clean and well equipped. Perfect for our half term in Yarmouth. The location is great and this really suited us as a family with school age kids. Hope to visit again.
