Lovely stay
By Helen Bagwell on 11-May-2026We had a lovely stay. The cottage was sweet and had everything we needed. It was very convenient for walking into the town and to the coast path. Island Holiday Homes were extremely helpful to deal with.
Our stay at Admiral's Cottage
By Gillian on 28-Aug-2016We had a fantastic stay at the cottage. It was clean and comfortable and well stocked for all of our needs. The compromise you make in staying in the heart of Yarmouth is cottages with no parking and small back yards. We bought a permit for the car park which we then used at all the council run car parks over the island which saved a lot of hassle. It was a bit of a pain loading and unloading with two small boys and lots of beach gear everyday but there is no solution to this. Being such a close distance from the sea was lovely for the boys to play so we didn't miss a garden for that. A more pleasant back yard would have been nice for sitting out on an evening; a table and chairs for example but with the weather being so fabulous we were out and about until late. We would certainly return, I really fell in love with Yarmouth and a daily stroll to get fresh bread and walk along by the harbour!!
Great location, beautiful walks
By N/A on 09-Apr-2017We enjoyed our week in Yarmouth. Admirals cottage is minutes walk from the shops and there is a good selection of restaurants. We paid for parking in the local car park which was 5 minutes walk to the cottage and we used the pass in all other towns on the island. The kitchen is well equipped but we felt that the old mattresses and bedding were definitely due for renewal and that the cottage could do with a little maintenance, such as replacing light bulbs.

Easter break in Yarmouth
By Louise on 22-Apr-2018A week spent at Admiral’s Cottage, Yarmouth was the perfect way to recharge our batteries. I took my elderly mother who loved it. The cottage was very clean and the beds soft. It was ideal having 2 bathrooms, as we were able to have one each. My mother, who is 77, found the steep stairs daunting, but she got to grips with them. We had mixed weather but the cottage was always warm and welcoming after we’d been out for the whole day. The kitchen was very well resourced and I cooked for my mother most evenings without any hitches. The front room is particularly comfortable and we spent one day snuggled up and reading our books. The WiFi is decent and it’s always useful to be able to plan your days out and book in advance online. We know the Isle of Wight very well but still managed to find things we’d never done before-the Steam Railway, Alpacas and Quarr Abbey-all of which we’d recommend. Yarmouth itself is a lovely place, with plenty to do. We particularly love the art gallery and the Blue Crab fish and chip restaurant. There is a grocery store a 5 minute walk away and the harbour is a great place to sit and watch the comings and goings. A down side is there is no parking outside the property and the only real choice is to park in the Yarmouth car park, 5 minutes away. We paid for a week’s pass online. This costs about £40. However, it means you can park across the island for free and we made use of this in Freshwater and Newport. You need to factor this in to the cost of your week, however. A minor issue is the disposal of rubbish. It is not practical to take smelly bags of rubbish home with you. We tried to recycle using local bins but there is no where for general waste. This needs to be addressed-cleaners, contractors to dispose of rubbish so it’s not left to clients, would be better. It’s a lovely footage, in an ideal location, and I’d stay there again.
