Yepton Estate Cottages

🙂 secluded , quiet and close to a deserted beach but only 10 minutes to St John the capital. Delightful and very helpful owners Gaby and Douglas 🙁that we didnt stay longer than 4 nights

We loved the privacy, the 2 beaches within walking distance, Fort Barrington, relaxing on our porch, and Gabriela, the owner who was so kind and made sure all of our needs were met. Thank you for a memorable stay and your friendship.

Very tranquil location overlooking a lake. Cottage was spacious and homely containing everything needed and more. The owners went above and beyond to welcome us and to ensure our holiday was the perfect location to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. Definitely the place to come and relax, we will be back.

Beautiful location overlooking a salt ponds. The hosts were exceptionally helpful sources of information about Antigua. The cottages are comfortable and well-equipped.

These cottages are around a quiet lagoon. It is very relaxing and quiet. A short walk takes you to 2 quiet beaches which provide safe swimming but no beach bar etc. Gaby and Doug are welcoming and take you food shopping on the first day if needed and are a fountain of knowledge re places to visit and eat. A great start to our Antiguan holiday

great quite location easy access to 2 beaches which were walking distance

A quite corner in Antigua for the ultimate relaxation holiday, away from the maddening crowds yet close to everything you need to spend a perfect time in front of the Caribbean.

My wife and I both loved this place. It was in immaculate condition, ready for two tired travelers. The owners went out of their way to give us directions to the place, told us about a dinner venue, then took us to their favorite place. Welcome wine at check-in, offered a local cell phone and gps for our needs. Gave us a rundown on the local conditions. We'd come again and unreservedly recommend to others!

It’s a common theme in reviews of the cottages, but Gabriella & Douglas truly are wonderful hosts. Whether you have been to the island before or not, they will have as much information as you could wish for to make the most of your stay. The cottages (No. 1 in our case) are kitted out with *everything* needed for a self catering vacation. Whichever cottage you select, you will also be adopted by Finches who will expect to share breakfast. The location was perfect for us, a secluded spot only minutes from St Johns. The view over the lagoon at dawn and dusk watching the cruise ships slide past is pretty special. The lagoon brings egrets/herons of various shapes and colours, ducks, moorhens, pelicans (“pelican... splash!” became a catchphrase of our recent stay), and mongooses. (Moorhens do not appreciate a proximate mongoose and will ‘growl’ at one.) Bring the most effective insect repellent that works for you. The seawater and occasional tropical rain = biting critters. You will be bitten. (It was my turn this year.) You’ll need to hire a car. Antigua is a cash-poor nation, trying its best, and the roads reflect this. Drive slow, eyes open, you’ll be fine. Renting from a big name firm may not mean ... previously we rented from a global name and the car was not what we’d expect in Europe or the US. This year we rented from a local firm and the service and car were excellent. Tune the radio to 94.9fm, kick back and relax.

My husband and I went to Antigua last week and stayed at Yepton Estates. We were greeted warmly by Gabriella and Douglas, the owners who quickly got us settled in our cottage. Gabriella then took us to a grocery store so we could stock up for our stay. I found the groceries extremely expensive because everything is imported. Nevertheless, we were on holiday and so we splurged. The cottage itself was very well appointed and lovely and comfortable. The beach is only a short walk away and we were the only people on it. There is another beach, Deep Bay, about a 20 minute walk away and it was gorgeous too. I would have liked more time here but there are many beaches to explore. Gabriella arranged a car for part of our stay and Douglas graciously spent a good long time teaching us about the history of Antigua and also good directions to places we wanted to visit. After very busy days, we were always happy to get back to the cottage and relax with a glass or two of wine. The bedroom was well air conditioned so we had no trouble sleeping. When we needed a ride, our hosts suggested we use Spencer as our cab driver. What a great suggestion! When my husband left his phone in Spencer’s cab, he drove out to the cottage the next day just to return it! We had a wonderful vacation and we plan to return next year. Thank you Gabriella and Douglas. You are fantastic hosts and Rob and I really appreciate your kindness and hospitality. See you next year!
