Cottage is in an excellent location, clean and warm, ( carpets could do with a deep clean). Information on company site needs amendments, no toilet on first floor and no welcome food pack. Shower room small for average size adult and mattresses on double beds very thin and sqeaky! However we had a lovely holiday, sun was provided.

Nice cottage and location in Yarmouth. The cottage was mainly well equipped although some things were a bit past their best. The stairs were steep but this was made clear in the description so wasn’t a surprise, Generally clean although we did have to deal with a mouse running round the kitchen one morning. My main gripe would be that the property description states that a welcome pack is provided, so I was expecting a few more useful things than just a bottle of vinegar and half a pot of black pepper left in one of the cupboards.

Beautiful cottage conveniently situated on pedestrianised High Street only 5 minutes walk from ferry. Ideal for those travelling without cars. There is building work on property opposite but as we live near main road this didn't disturb us! Very near shops and buses for travel across island. Steep stairs to attic bedroom and bathroom add character and charm but would be unsuitable for the less mobile/young children. Ideal for our party of three adults.
