The group of six cottages is centred around a lagoon just behind Yepton beach. The location is beautiful, peaceful and a wonderful place to wake up to and relax on the veranda while planning your day. The cottage I had the pleasure of staying in was a good size, well equipped and spotlessly clean. The main room had an oh so comfy sofa and chair, dining table and chairs and high quality kitchen area that made you want to cook... almost lol. A full cooker, microwave, a couple of coffee makers, shiny pots and pans, big fridge freezer and most importantly, an electric kettle. The bedroom featured an impressive king-sized bed giving a great night's sleep to the backdrop of chirping crickets. The separate shower room was a good size too. Back in the living room, if you miss home, there's cable TV. There are at least seven beaches within walking distance. Yepton is closest but Deep Bay is livelier, Galley Bay is a classic Caribbean picture postcard, Hawksbill is more relaxed with another four beaches. Nearby Five Islands village has a couple of local but tourist friendly cafes serving tasty food. For the adventurous, there's a bus into St John's with a fruit and veg stall next to the bus stop. The fresh bananas were amazing. Back at Yepton Cottages, hosts Gabby and Douglas, long term Antigua residents, made sure my stay ran smoothly. Attentive but not intrusive, very knowledgeable about the island and good to chat with.
