Description
Merrilees is a delightful cottage set in Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, with nearby public parking options, a garden with patio and summer house, and easy access to the beach.
Situated within reach of the town’s amenities and coastline, this cushy retreat is well-suited to small families or groups looking to enjoy a seaside setting.
Step inside and you are greeted by a welcoming living/dining room, where a woodburner-effect fire adds a warm focal point for evenings spent together, whether that’s watching television or chatting over plans for the days ahead.
The kitchen offers everything needed for preparing meals during your stay, while the utility provides added convenience for longer breaks.
The sleeping arrangement is spread across three bedrooms, including a ground-floor double, a double zip/link that can be twin on request, and a day bed is available, offering flexibility for different group needs.
Two shower rooms, both with walk-in showers, ensure mornings run smoothly before heading out to explore.
Outside, the garden creates a pleasant extension of the home, with a patio and summer house providing a spot to enjoy time outdoors, store your water-sport equipment, and relish a morning coffee.
A shop, pub, and beach are all within easy reach, with the popular Off the Rails adding a handy spot just across from your doorstep.
In Yarmouth, stroll along Yarmouth Pier, explore historic Yarmouth Castle, and spend time at Fort Victoria Country Park, where woodland paths and coastal views come together.
Head to Freshwater, home to The Needles Landmark Attraction, the sweeping views from Tennyson Down, and the vibrant cliffs of Alum Bay.
Alternatively, discover Newport, where Carisbrooke Castle, the town centre’s shops, and the River Medina offer a varied day out.
However you choose to spend your time, Merrilees offers a charming base for exploring the Isle of Wight.

What guests are saying
Fantastic location, perfect for lovely walks and access to restaurants etc in Yarmouth.
Very good laundry facilities, very good upstairs shower. Generally over-equipped, impression was that much of the furniture and equipment came from charity/second hand shops with no thought for quality. Bedding worn, mismatched, ill-fitting and needs replacing. Plenty of good kitchen equipment but also rusty and stained equipment which needs throwing out e.g. rusty tin opener and roasting trays. Downstairs shower did not work, hot water was hit and miss and needs sorting. TV did not work half the time, not properly set up. We had to watch on an iPad for much of the time. Needs vacuum cleaner and door mat especially if a dog is staying. This property needs inspecting and a more professional approach taken to what people should be provided with for paying guests.
We really enjoyed our stay and were impressed with the accommodation and property location.
It was very spacious and light and we had everything we needed :) We really appreciated the quiet location and never having to worry about finding a parking space; and the shaded garden was wonderful as well as really helpful for our dog. There were a few minor points that could easily be remedied going forward to further improve this lovely property. I understand the property had only recently been starting to being rented, but it would have been helpful to have a book with information (e.g. emergency contact for the owner and hospital/GPs and vets as well as info e.g. how to use the cooker) to make it easy to settle into the property. Additionally to check that all the cutlery is clean and there is adequate loo roll available on arrival! As we will have very hot summers in the future, it would also be helpful to have fans and the ability to open the windows on the top floor so its more comfortable. Because of these points I gave it a 4 star. In spite of these minor points, we really loved staying in this property and would certainly come back again :)
