  Lovely cottage in a perfect location in Yarmouth town centre with all shops and facilities on your doorstep which was perfect for us in our favourite place on the island.

  PRO’S Property was really nice inside with comfy furniture in the lounge area and all the modern facilities you would require such as WiFi and tv. Separate dining room from lounge that leads to kitchen which has everything you need and all modern appliances. Beds were comfy and the views from the top bedroom and balcony are fantastic looking at the sea and boats as you look to the right. The owner was helpful sending a welcome pack to us via email in advance and also organised a parking permit for us at their cost which was really appreciated to park nearby as there is no parking at the property. However I would say before 10am and after 6pm we established there is alternative parking nearby for free in the town centre near the Bugle pub as well which is around 50 yards away. CON’S Only downsides found with the property was the low beams in a couple of the bedrooms as you enter them and the top bathroom as my husband hit his head a few times (husband is just under 6 foot). However none of my other party hit their head so I would also put that down to my husbands clumsiness! We also had an older relative with us that did struggle with the stairs a little which although there are only a few steps they are quite narrow and on a bend with difficult located handrails but the rest of us adults and kids found the stairs no problem and there were no accidents thankfully. Overall a lovely weeks stay at a quaint cottage and we were considering to come back next year again (2024) had the week we wanted been available again. However we will certainly consider staying here again for a future holiday to the island if it’s still available.

  We love old and historic buildings, so from that viewpoint, this was right up our street.

  Great location, slap bang in the centre of Yarmouth. Very handy for the fabulous fish & chips next door! We arrived late on the Friday evening and were given the wrong set of keys by Hardy's. Also, rather reluctantly told that we were 'entitled' to 2 pints of milk. It's not what you say, it's the way....... The house was freezing and didn't seem 'guest ready'. All in all, a rather unwelcoming start. The low beams were a problem right from the get go and my husband nearly knocked himself out on a number of occasions. It was so bad we considered returning home early but we managed to better navigate things as the days went by. The little log burner was gorgeous but sadly very few logs were left for us to burn. Disappointing that we had to pay our own way to supplement the heating, as a few more logs would've gone a long way. I guess we weren't quite prepared for a winter break and assumed (wrongly) that the heating side of things would be taken care of. The week felt like a battle to stay warm as well as stay safe (from the beams). The kitchen was so cold, that we had to put the Aga stove on to help warm the room up, as there was no other mode of heating. In a nutshell, the overall stay was disappointing and I'm sure it would've been quite a different experience in the summer. I think it would take only a small effort to get this lovely cottage up to a winter stay standard, so please don't take my feedback as completely negative. The view from the master bedroom window was wonderful and was a joy to wake up to every morning. We're regulars to Yarmouth, and everyone is so friendly.

  Sadly wouldn’t recommend Sykes as a holiday company as they cancelled my booking on the Friday before I was due to arrive on the Monday, hence the last-minute booking of P5 Whitfield.

  Sykes were a nightmare to get hold of on the phone and the alternative recommendations they emailed me were in Wales and Scotland, despite P5 Whitfield and others still being available. A stressful time! P5 Whitfield itself was easy to find and there was good communication from the owners in regard to arrival. The house was warm when we checked in which was very welcome. The kitchen was well equipped for basic cooking, although a number of pieces of crockery felt sticky and maybe weren’t completely clean. The accommodation was comfortable enough but did feel a little tired in places - frayed carpets, bed frames coming undone, and the mattresses felt as though they could do with an upgrade. The en-suite shower room was unusable for the first day or so as it was smelling rather unpleasant! The door had to kept closed to prevent the smell from impacting the bedroom too much. I alerted maintenance and they came in to the property on the second day and the smell did improve for a couple of days, but by the final evening it had reverted to being rather pungent again. The kitchen sink was also very slow to drain as the week went on and also began to smell a little, so potentially there is a bigger drains issue going on. All in all though this was a convenient place to stay for exploring the island and especially easy to walk into Yarmouth. The Needles are close by, as are lovely walks and views around the south of the island. We also hired bikes and enjoyed a gentle cycle with lots of wildlife spots, including birds of prey. An enjoyable week overall and I would stay again.

  Good;- spotless,nice and warm,very comfy bed ,well equipped and spacious.

  Bad;- The fridge was not switched on, an inconvenience for most but for me panic inducing as I am on medication that needs to be refrigerated. Glad the shop was open to buy bottles of milk to keep it cool until the fridge cooled down. There were only 4 days of parking permits left out,despite a call to Sykes it was not sorted although they did try. We eventually found more in an envelope addressed to the owner in the cupboard under the breakfast bar. The living room furniture should be replaced,we had to put some scatter cushions under the sofa cushions to support them.The front door rim lock plays up making entry difficult.
