Lovely Cottage

Lovely cottage in a great location. Located on top of all the shops, restaurants, pubs and ferry in Yarmouth…. everything was only a minutes walk away. Off road parking was a great added bonus. Excellent communication from the agents and owner.

Stayed in Grove Cottage for our honeymoon.

The location of Grove Cottage gave us access to the town of Yarmouth. We were only a couple of minutes walk from the bus station and harbour. The Cottage although very oldy worldy was very comfortable. The crockery reminded me of my childhood as my parents used to have the same plates with the exact pattern. My wife and I would stay there again.

Our thoughts onGrove Cottage

We have visited Gove Cottage for about 10years now each summer. In the last year or two we have been a little disappointed with the Garden, which used to be lovely, but is now a little not loved. However the cottage remains comfortable, and is very convenient foe everyting within the town, and the parking space is a real bonus. We will continue to visit as often as we can.

Early year break

We have stayed at grove cottage a number of times. Each time we have found it a comfortable place to stay. The updates have all enhanced the cottage. We normally come September but this year tried March, whilst the weather wasn’t great it is still an excellent base for exploring the island and very handy for the ferry! Always feels like home.

Grove Cottage

This was our 3rd stay at Grove Cottage, the cottage is old and quirky, based very conveniently for the pubs and restaurants in Yarmouth, there are plenty to choose from. We had a couple of issues but these are being resolved and the owner has said that the furniture in the lounge will be replaced and we will hopefully return once the issues are addressed. The bed is probably the most comfortable holiday bed we have slept in. The garden is a peaceful haven to enjoy a meal or drink in.

Our Christmas and New Year at Grove Cottage.

We had a great Christmas holiday at Grove cottage. It was really cozy and warm. It was also really festive with decorations all around the house. Grove Cottage is compact but very comfortable. The bedrooms are spacious. As is the bathroom. The sitting room is warm and inviting. The kitchen is authentic and well equipped. We would love to come back in summer and make use of the outdoor space.

Just the job

The cottage is very nice with a great location, lovely garden and very comfortable. A little quirky here and there which just adds to the charm. One minor issue is that the TV aerial needs looking at as some tv channels were missing. We left our car in the drive all week and explored the island by bus, boat and on foot.

As a couple in

Excellent location, parking difficult, garden needs attention. Stairs landing dodgy for elderly. Bathroom in strange place. No milk on arrival and only one dinner tray.

Cute little cottage

Grove Cottage has bags of atmosphere and character. The room sizes are small and the stairs are very steep. Not a problem for us but our elderly Greyhound struggled. It was a delight to be so close to the town area and even better having parking. However, the parking space was compact and made worse by having what appeared to be two pointless raised planting areas that protruded into the space. Not a problem for a precise driver but could lead to body damage for the less confident. The garden was large with adequate seating but the grass was a bit threadbear. The kitchen is very small and can only effectively accommodate one person at a time unless you are very patient. That said, apart from the planters I would not change anything as the character and charm would be lost. Clearing the rubbish was a bit of a pain and the recycling we collected had no receptacle in the car park over the road, which was confusing. I was surprised to not have access to BBC channels on the TV For location alone I would stay again one day

BRIEF STAY IN YARMOUTH

GROVE COTTAGE IS A SMALL PROPERTY, OBVIOUSLY VERY OLD, BUT FULL OF APPROPRIATE PERIOD FEATURES. MOST OF THE FACILITIES ARE OK AND THE GENERAL CONDITION INSIDE IS ACCEPTABLE. THE KITCHEN IS VERY SMALL BUT USABLE FOR A COUPLE. INFORMATION ABOUT EQUIPMENT IN THE COTTAGE IS NOT GOOD AND NO INSTRUCTIONS WERE PROVIDED ABOUT WHERE THAT IS LOCATED. SOME WE ONLY DISCOVERED ON THE SECOND DAY BY WHICH TIME WE HAD ALREADY EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS. EITHER THE OWNERS OR THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY NEED TO DEAL WITH THIS AND PROVIDE A FOLDER WITH ALL RELEVANT INSTRUCTION INFORMATION PLUS GUIDES TO USING EQUIPMENT. THE GARDEN IS PLEASANTLY INFORMAL AND BENEFITS FROM LOTS OF SUN.

Relaxing stay

Nostalgic comfortable cottage which was well equipped and spotlessly clean throughout. Very pretty garden which was fully enclosed for my little dog. Short walk to shops and excellent choice of eateries. Wonderful walks from doorstep. Only negative point was the very steep stairs had only one handrail and narrow landing from bedrooms had to be taken with care.

A perfect holiday cottage

Yarmouth is a busy, lovely ferry town and Grove Cottage provides a haven within walking distance to the high street. Having a parking space at the property is a real bonus and the garden is lovely for sitting in.

lovely cottage in a wonderful position.

This was our third stay and we used to own a cottage in the High street of Yarmouth. As a member of the Royal Solent Yacht club this was a very convenient location. The cottage is charming, well equipped and comfortable. The condition was good as maintained by Leanne who provided us with a few essentials. Would like to return again next year.

Grove Cottage

This little cottage is so full of charm, it is quirky and we love staying there. The garden is lovely to sit in and full of birds. The bed is one of the most comfortable holiday beds we have ever had. The cottage is situated within a few seconds walk of centre of Yarmouth, where there are plenty of pubs and cafes and a tea room. The off street parking is an added bonus. This is our second stay at Grove Cottage and we have already booked for next year.

Potentially a beautiful cottage

Grove Cottage is a beautiful historic building in historic Yarmouth. It appears to be a really old building with uneven floors etc, decorated in a lovely cottage-like way, with floral prints and some lovely old furniture, and retaining many old features. It has a beautiful cottage garden with roses & cottage garden flowers, secure for our dog and with plenty of good quality garden furniture, so that you can sit in the sun any time of day. However, the way it's being managed by the owner could be improved: The kitchen is full of lots of stuff from clearing maybe two whole houses, including good quality saucepans, but many essentials which are on the normal inventory for a holiday cottage were missing e.g. fairy liquid, bread bin, butter dish, table clothes, garlic press; the knives and potato peeler were really blunt - so take your own stuff guys! Not having any table clothes was the worst bit as we had to leave a £150 damages deposit so it was really stressful eating our meals on a beautiful historic table without a cloth. The welcome was a bit frosty - no welcome pack, and as well as the £150 deposit also a warning that you'd have to pay £25 if they found a single dog poo in the garden. So they asked you to check for existing poos on arrival - not a great start to the holiday! I tea tray with quality biscuits or cake would have been more welcome! You need to tell these owners that guests don't pay hundreds of pounds to have to go out & buy their own fairy liquid on arrival. Similar problems on departure: The cottage folder said the owners were only willing to supply one black rubbish bag and did not provide any recycling facilities, saying there were facilities "across the road". My husband couldn't find the recycling facilities, and there was no information about what the local authority recycled. In a hurry to leave we had to dump recycling in a street bin. The cleaner did a heroic job on such a cluttered place, I did find one really greasy frying pan, but no problem I selected one of the three clean pans! A light had obviously been broken for a long time in the twin bedroom, the cleaner had attached a laminated apology sign saying the owner & agency had been informed. A light didn't work in the lounge but we couldn't be bothered to report it. Potentially a beautiful cottage under different ownership.

Grove Cottage, Yarmouth May 2022

Really nice Character Cottage, full of really nice original features. Location is excellent, small but perfectly adequate mature garden. Car parking at side of property is good but is not really suitable for big cars. Sleeps 4 just about, a really great base for exploring. Beds are comfy, everyone had a great time. Local cafe's/pubs are great. Good value for money in the current inflated pricing environment.

Repeat Performance

This is our second visit to this lovely quirky cottage. It's perfect for the two of us and our dog loves the walled garden where she can play to her hearts content. Why is it quirky? The original stone floor is still in evidence in places. The kitchen is small but has more pots and pans than you can shake a stick at. The huge bathroom is off the main bedroom, but there is a loo downstairs. Like most old properties the central stairs are quite steep. Will we be back again, oh yes.

Another great week

We booked this cottage for the second time after missing out last year due to it's popularity. The cottage is in an ideal location for the local shops and a number of public houses. Clean and comfortable with a good sized garden for our dog. Garden not at it's best like previously but due to the pandemic it is understandable. Good off street paring for our large estate car was great but you should always reverse in rather than drive in as you do get cars coming down the main street into Yarmouth. All facilities in good working order and we found no problems with anything in the house. We had a really great holiday, even seeing Red Squirrels in Mill Copse on most days. Would recommend this cottage but not too much as we will be booking it again and don't want you all to book before us!!!
