Yepton Estate Cottages

Beautiful setting on a lake next to the sea. Each evening, we were treated to a parade of cruise ships coming and going from St John's harbor. Small wildlife was everywhere, day and night. Our was furnished with everything needed to cook and prepare our meals. easy walk to the local beaches. A great to relax on your Carribean vacation

Yepton Estate was a perfect match for what we needed for our 4-day stay in Antigua. Our cottage was very quiet, clean, with an extremely comfortable bed and a very well equipped kitchen as well as strong Wi-Fi. The property is a bit off the beaten path, so having a car is a necessity if you want to get around. We did have a rental car and explored the island from there. There is a small beach within walking distance although we never found it due to a miscommunication but there are plenty of accessible beaches elsewhere. There is only one small restaurant within a short drive. For everything else you need to drive into St. John’s. Fortunately the manager had advised us in advance to stop for groceries on the way from the airport. There are plenty of supermarkets on that way. Overall we had a very pleasant visit to Antigua and Yepton Estate.

Sent 4 emails before arrival and gotno reply. Decent cottage, comfortable bed, good shower. Sadly no helpful information about getting around, nearest places to eat etc. Pool small, but lovely after a hot day. Used bus and taxi to get around. Be prepared for very noisy tree frogs at night.

Our stay at Yepton Cottages was thoroughly enjoyable. The place is beautiful, perfectly clean and well kept. It makes for a peaceful alternative to the usual hotels. Gabriela and Douglas are excellent hosts and very accommodating with excellent local knowledge which was a great help. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend staying here. Antigua is an incredibly beautiful place, with amazing quiet beaches all around this island. The only negative comment we have on Antigua is that food and eating out is incredibly expensive and mostly average.

We enjoyed a delightful 5 days in Antigua and the Yepton Estate. Busy during the day working on purchasing a sailboat & some sightseeing, we were so happy to have the cozy accommodations every evening. Our cottage had everything we needed, clean, and comfortable. Gabby and Douglas are gracious hosts and wonderful to spend time with over a glass of wine. They shared everything we needed to know to enjoy our time on the island. If you are looking for a relaxing get away, this is the perfect spot for you. It is away from the city and nightlife, so you can enjoy peaceful time at the pool and on the porch in the ideal weather and setting. Thanks to Gabby and Douglas for a lovely visit.

I spent three fantastic days at Yepton Estate Cottages during my last visit to Antigua. The cottages are very clean, well equipped for cooking, have comfortable beds and are quiet. There is a swimming pool with a sunbathing area. There are also a lot of birds. Some of them can be fed from your hand. The cottages are located within walking distance to several lovely beaches, including the island's only clothing optional beach (40 minutes, walking along a quiet road). A walk to the main supermarket will take 45 minutes, and to Saint John's 60 minutes, along a rather busy road. So depending on your physical ability, appetite for walking, and plans, you may want to opt for renting a car or using a taxi. Last but not least, Gabriela and Douglas were exceptional hosts. I felt wholeheartedly welcome at Yepton Cottages: cold drink on arrival, bottle of wine as a gift. Gabriela and Douglas also took me for dinner on the first night! They live next door and can make themselves easily available if you need anything.

This was such a lovely and relaxing time. One of the best beaches in Antigua is a short walk away. Gabriela and Douglas are excellent hosts, with a wealth of knowledge of Antigua. If you are looking for quiet, secluded restful vacation, look no further.

Douglas and Gabriella are the perfect experienced and on site hosts. Even as experienced travelers, their direction and advice saved us alot of hassle. The cottages are well equipped and comfortable in a quiet yet convenient setting minutes from St. John, and Deep Bay and Yepton beaches. Douglas is a font of useful information about history and day trips. Gabby knows her restaurants.

Our third stay at Yepton Estate - 14 days of peaceful seclusion in a cottage hideaway. Gabby and Douglas welcomed us like long lost friends (our last stay was 10 years ago) taking us to the local supermarket on arrival and arranging car hire with a local company. This gives you complete confidence in local services as Gabby and Douglas are widely known and respected in Antigua. The cottages are wonderful - a complete home from home. Totally private, they provide a secluded and safe base from which to enjoy the island. Located in a private estate overlooking a tranquil lagoon beyond which you hear the sound of the waves on the local beach. They are ideally located on the western side of Antigua giving easy access to the best beaches on the island. The cottages are spotlessly clean and well equipped enabling us to self cater.
