About this property
This charming beachfront Yarmouth coastal cottage apartment offers a warm rustic open plan living accommodation with fantastic panoramic coastal views across the Solent towards the mainland from the upper floor. This Yarmouth cottage is a converted old boathouse, and now consists of a loft-style bedroom, while on the ground floor you can unwind on the inviting sofa, planning your next day’s activities. From your patio, why not enjoy a walk along the shingle beach, while enjoying the ever-changing scenery and sometimes extremely dramatic waters of the Solent? The perfect romantic coastal retreat. Note: This property can be booked with Refs. 4220, 4221, 4222, 905105, 905107 and 906577, together they sleep 20.
The attractive seaside town of Yarmouth is the oldest town on the Isle of Wight, and its busy harbour is a haven for all kinds of watercraft, with the terminal used for regular mainland ferry crossings. Yarmouth's narrow streets are home to an array of shops and inns, whilst a visit to Henry viii's castle is not to be missed. There's great cycling and walking to be had along the coastal path, or why not take an energetic stroll across to the nearby Tennyson Down? Sandhard beach is 15 minutes' walk away, and is ideal for swimming and crabbing from the jetty. 4 miles away is Compton beach, famous for dinosaur remains; go there at low tide and see if you can find the two enormous three-toed feet. West Wight is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Yarmouth is an ideal base from which to explore this wonderful island.

Accommodations brilliant, clean and everything in the place you need. Excellent, quiet location, really enjoyed our long weekend away. Only thing was the mattress could do with being thicker as could feel the wooden slats underneath. Hope to return again soon
