Another lovely stay at Grove Cottage

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!!!

We had a wonderful time in the lovely Grove Cottage.
We were sailing in the annual Folkboat regatta at the Royal Solent Yacht Club. We love Grove Cottage and look forward to coming back next year. A peaceful haven with a charming garden. All you could want from a small cottage. The location for us was perfect. We used to own a cottage in the high street so know Yarmouth well.

Quirky
Very quirky cottage but don’t let that put you off. The property had a large enclosed garden so the dog was happy. It’s also in a great location and it came with parking which is a big bonus in Yarmouth.

Grove Cottage
The cottage is wonderfully quirky, in a brilliant location, the garden is peaceful and serene. The bed is one of the most comfortable holiday beds we have slept in. The added bonus is parking in the front. We had a couple of issues but they were resolved quickly by the management company. Would definitely stay again
