About this cottage rental
Norlands Cottage is perfectly located with outstanding views from the house and peaceful sunny garden across to Yarmouth, the Solent and River Yar. It is beside a popular footpath that leads from your garden gate as far around the Island as you are tempted to explore; from an easy one hour walk around the the Yar Estuary river to an all day adventure walking right round the West Wight.
It is only a few minutes walk across the bridge from Yarmouth along a small private lane, very easy to reach with or without a car. The beach is a few minutes walk back up the lane, perfect for an early morning swim, an afternoon of pottering or an evening barbecue whilst watching the sun set. Norlands Cottage is an extremely comfortable four bedroom family home, much loved and designed to be welcoming and lived in. Children and well behaved pets are very welcome.
The Yar Estuary is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, renowned for wildlife and birdwatching, particularly over-wintering wildfowl and waders. The Yar estuary is also a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
Yarmouth is an ideal location for a holiday at any time of year. It is perfect for walkers, bird watchers, beach lovers, families, sailors; a historic and picturesque harbour town, packed with maritime history and offering an excellent choice of pubs, restaurants, cafes and interesting and original shops. There are miles of coastline and countryside to explore and enjoy, places of interest and outstanding natural beauty near by include The Needles, Alum Bay and Tennyson Down.

A lovely cottage, good location for walks and access to Yarmouth. Everything you need for a good holiday. Nice to see orchids in the garden. Needs a new toaster as only one element working.

Had a wonderful week in this property that has everything you need. Spacious and good to relax in. Lovely garden that was great for our grand daughter particularly. Perfect for relaxing in the conservatory or on the patio. The location is just amazing; great views and an easy stroll into town. Would definitely love to come again.

This is a fantastic location for a peaceful holiday close to the sea. The cottage has character and is comfortable to spend time in, although some of the furnishings a little dated and areas of damp in the shower.
The property was clean and accommodating, watch out for the steep stairs though!
Garden was lovely and great for dogs, a nice big kitchen and conservatory was great in the sun or rain!
Will be back again!

Having family in Yarmouth we knew that this property was in a good location for our needs. This is a pretty cottage from the outside and has a good sized private lawn with outside table & chairs. However, although the interior was clean it was very shabby with mould in various places, flaking paint and slightly dilapidated furniture & soft furnishings. There were grubby little post-it notes in the kitchen & bathrooms telling us what not to do and there was rubbish in a kitchen bin. This did not leave a good first impression. It would be so much nicer if guest information were to be collated into a little book or folder - wifi code in particular (we had to call to ask for this info). We guessed that the property may have a septic tank rather than mains drainage so the owner may have to be very careful about what is flushed away but there are nicer and more welcoming ways of providing essential info than notes stuck to walls. Perhaps the owner has had bad guest experiences but we are people who respect the property of others so were a bit taken aback to be staying in a house that screamed - "just giving you the bare essentials in case you wreck anything"!
However, the beds were comfortable; the kitchen was well enough equipped for our needs; the wifi worked; good access & parking; easy walk into Yarmouth; nice views of the Yar estuary; quiet location . I would recommend this property only on the proviso that guests understand it is pretty basic and that there are no luxuries. Not suitable for babies/toddlers/elderly because of a steep staircase. BTW - a pint of milk in the fridge would have been nice :-)
