Yepton Estate Cottages

Lovely yellow cottage 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.

The host Gabriela was amazing! Sharon was very helpful and attentive. Highly recommended

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at the Yepton Estate Cottages while we attended a surgical conference in St. John. The conference was held at the Royalton Antigua, an all-inclusive resort located within walking distance of the cottages. In addition to being far more affordable than lodging at the Royalton, the Yepton Estate Cottages offered privacy and peacefulness that are difficult to find at a large commercial resort. We also received excellent attention and customer service from the owners, Gabriela and Douglas. Whether it was a restaurant recommendation or assistance with taxi service, they were always happy to assist us. If we decide to return to Antigua, we would definitely return to Yepton Estate Cottages. We enjoyed having a living area, kitchenette, and private porch. One of our favorite parts of the trip was mixing our cocktails in the kitchen and unwinding on our private patio as we overlooked the pool and lagoon. From the picturesque view to the sounds of local wildlife, we truly felt immersed in the natural surroundings. We are so grateful to Gabriela, Douglas, and the wonderful team of medical professionals from Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre. You all made our first visit to Antigua so special and we are already looking forward to a return visit!

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

As a seasoned traveller, the past two years of prohibitive travel restrictions and uncertainty have been challenging. For my first and much needed holiday I wanted to find somewhere which met two conditions: a quiet and self-contained accommodation, and access to uncrowded beaches with tropical waters. At Yepton Estate Cottages, I found this and so much more. Your hosts Gabriela and Douglas are two of the nicest people I have ever met, and could not do enough for me, whilst simultaneously ensuring I had the privacy and space that I was seeking. From the moment of my arrival, I was welcomed like family and Gabriela drove me personally to the nearest supermarket to help me stock up on provisions for my first few days. I was then free to enjoy the nearby beaches (the closest - Yepton Beach, is less than ten minutes on foot), and mostly to just enjoy the tranquility which I was craving after the toll of the Pandemic. My cottage had everything I could possibly need, and the deck overlooking the salt lake provided hours of watching the Brown Pelicans diving, or simply a space to enjoy the warmth and the breeze with some protection from the sun. Nothing is too much trouble for your hosts Gabriela and Douglas, or their charming housekeeper Sharon. After catching the rays a little too strongly at the start of my tirp, Gabriela even supplied me with some much needed After-Sun and additional SPF! I booked this location based on the fantastic reviews and the location. It surpassed my expectations, and was the most perfect escape from the reality of daily life during these strange times. If you like all-inclusive, being waited on, and being surround by other people, this is not for you! If you value your own slice of paradise, where the whole day is yours to while away at your own pace, with world class beaches just around the corner, then Gabriela and Douglas will take care of the rest for you! Thank you Gabi and Douglas and Sharon... I miss Yepton already.

We are returners - this is the third time since 2013 we have enjoyed staying at Gabriela and Douglas' little piece of heaven. We normally never go back to the same place, apart from Yepton. We stay in cottage number 6, which is very well located in front of lake. This year we stayed for 3 weeks and really managed to relax after not having traveled "properly" for the last 2 "pandemic" years. The property is located very close to one of the best beaches in Antigua - Deep Bay. Yepton Beach is nearer, but rougher. My wife "discovered" a turtle, (Tulip) the critically endangered Hawksbill turtle in the lake, and with the help of Douglas we managed to engage volunteers from EAG, and rescued Tulip from the very unsuitable environment that the lake offers. Tulip was dropped off at Deep Bay beach and swam away. We very much hope she has survived and enjoying swimming in the natural Caribbean sea. Yepton Estate Cottages is highly recommended.
