“Can't wait to go back!”

We just came back from our stay at Yepton Estate Cottages. We can't wait to go back again. We renewed our vows on the beach. It is a beautiful and private place to stay. Gabriella and Douglas took such great care of us while we were there. They really go above and beyond to help you with anything you may need, from giving you cell phones to use, taking you grocery shopping, recommending places to eat and much more. This was by far the best vacation we have ever had!

“Exceptionally good-highly recommended!”

I had heard about the cottages from a good friend who stayed here last year about and raved about the wonderful hospitality of the hosts, Gabriella and Douglas. Her recommendation is now greatly appreciated because having just visited with my husband and in-laws, I can firmly say this place is absolutely fantastic. The attention to detail by Gabby and Douglas is spot on and the cottages are well located, well equipped and maintained to an extremely high standard. Gabby and Douglas are on hand to give accurate and helpful advice about the island and making the most of your holiday. I loved staying here and having stayed at a number of great hotels and holiday rentals over the years, I would confidently say it is the most enjoyable place I have ever stayed on holiday.

“Yepton is an idyllic, peaceful retreat”

We recently spent a week's vacation at the wonderful Yepton Estate Cottages, and couldn't have been more pleased with our experience. Upon our arrival via an airport taxi, our gracious hosts Gabby and Douglas greeted us by our first names, whisked our luggage to our cottage for us, and offered us a cold beverage, which was quite refreshing after many hours of traveling! It was the perfect start to a fabulous week. We stayed in one of the studio cottages, which was spotless and extremely well-appointed. There wasn't anything we missed while we were there. The grounds are also quite lovely - we enjoyed the company of a little bird who visited us on our porch for breakfast each day! There is also a nice beach within a few minutes walk of the cottages, for those days when you don't feel like venturing out by car to any of Antigua's other 364 gorgeous beaches! Staying at Yepton is a truly special and unique vacation experience. With only four cottages on the whole property, it is miles away from the massive all-inclusive resort scene. However, the level of service is second to none. Gabby and Douglas are extremely thoughtful in the information and assistance that they provide their guests - they have truly mastered the art of providing attentive, personalized service without infringing upon their guests' personal space. We had an amazing trip, and would whole-heartedly recommend Yepton to other travelers!

“Service with a Smile”

There is little to add to the unconditional recommendations of others who have visited these cottages. The location (on a small salt-water lake behind a mangrove/palm-lined beach) is attractive and peaceful. The 4 cottages (2 studios & 2 1-bedroomed) are well positioned around a small lawn & swimming pool fronting the lake. The place is managed by the owners who are helpful and prompt in dealing with questions & requests but not intrusive. We would be very happy to return.

“Beautiful !”

We have just spent 2 weeks in one of Gabby & Douglas' excellent Yepton cottages & we have had a brilliant time. The cottage is in a beautiful setting, overlooking a lake with pelicans, herons & egrets (amongst many other birds), which we were able to identify when Gabby & Douglas lent us a great bird book. They are fantastic hosts & nothing is too much trouble. Everything that you need is in the cottage & everything works well. Gabby & Douglas are always on hand should you need advice about transport, beaches, good restaurants & beach bars, snorkelling spots etc and they booked our hire car as well as trips on the tropical forest zip lines and to the stingrays. They also booked us a scuba diving trip with 2 really lovely & imformative dive masters. We can not praise Gabby & Douglas enough. We would recommend these cottages to everyone and we hope that you have as great a time as we did.

“Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Gabby and Douglas welcomed us and took care of us so that we had a great vacation. They have lived in Antigua for quite some time and know all the ins and outs and are very good guides. They'll even come and get you if you run out of gas in your rental car or if you drink a little too much on one of the island cruises and can't walk back home. This is a great place to stay and it's beautiful.

“Absolutely Amazing!!”

The Yepton Estate Cottages are absolutely amazing! I took my girfriend here for her birthday and she loved it! If you want the perfect romantic get-a-way, this is it! There are four private cottages, (2) are one bedroom cottages and (2) are one room studio cottages. They are all fully equiped with everything that you could possibly want and need. The cottages are perfectly located around a lake which is full of beautiful wildlife and just a short walk to the beach! Gaby and Douglas (the owners) are the most amazing people that you would ever want to meet. They made our stay everything that we wanted it to be and more. As soon as we arrived they took care of everything! They went out of there way to make sure that we got the most out of our vacation! You could'nt ask for a better place to stay! We will definately go again and stay at Yepton Estate Cottages! Tim & Lisa

“Highly recommended”

Yepton Estate Cottages are situated in an idyllic, secluded spot of Antigua, a couple of minutes walk from the beach and a couple of minutes drive to St. Johns. Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by Gabriella and Douglas, our hosts, who recommended all the must-see corners of the island. That was the start of an unforgettable 2 weeks stay. The cottages were absolutely spotless and had everything that you could ever need and more, beautifully decorated with original artwork by Gabriella. Gabriella and Douglas were the most interesting and accommodating hosts, who know Antigua inside out, always ready to give advice but never overwhelming in their manners. Their unrivalled hospitality, paired with the wonderful surroundings, are an unbeatable recipe for a fantastic holiday. We wish them all the best and thoroughly recommend their services!!

“Excellent Choice”

We have just returned from a restful and enjoyable 11 day stay at this resort. Our choice was partly influenced by previous Expedia guest reviews, which we found both accurate and helpful. The location was quiet and idyllic. We enjoyed the proximity of the lagoon and its wildlife and access to the adjacent hotel and beach was an asset. Our hosts, Gabriela and Douglas were extremely welcoming, made us feel at home and did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable and hassle free. The use of a mobile phone, shopping trip on first day and local advice were invaluable and allowed us to settle in to our holiday very quickly. Our cottage was exceptionally well equipped, which made self-catering as simple as being at home. The property is 30 minutes from the airport and access to St Johns and its shops and markets was relatively straight forward via taxis or adjacent hotel shuttle, operated by reliable and friendly drivers. We will return.

“A perfect place to stay”

We have just returned from a fabulous two week stay at Yepton Estate Cottages. Gabriela and Douglas are thoroughly deserving of the excellent reviews for Yepton: they do everything possible to ensure that you feel welcome and comfortable. The cottages are immaculate, beautifully finished and equipped with anything you might possibly need for your stay. Initially we were a little apprehensive as many of the reviews point out that you really need a car to explore the island. But, determined to have a real break from our everyday life of motorway commuting, we investigated the local buses, and, thanks to the timetable supplied to us by Douglas we soon got the hang of it. During our stay we managed to take buses to most parts of the island: they are cheap, reliable and above all are a brilliant way to catch a glimpse of local life. Antigua really does have everything: amazing weather; unspoilt beaches; a wealth of historical sites and some great local foods (definitely try the black pineapples!). Yepton Cottages are the perfect base for a truly unforgettable holiday.
