A delightful and quirky 18th century fisherman’s cottage nestled in the heart of Glen Wyllin Village

Lovely small cottage, ideal for two. Perfect base to explore the island from.

Quirky is right. The cooking arrangements are a little odd but fine for our weeks stay. If you can't manage steps, this isn't for you as the stairs are steep, and getting into and out of the bath requires a stool ! Having said that, would we return.. yes, most definitely, we loved our stay ❤️.

We had a great time at the lovely cottage, but unfortunately the heating and hot water went out multiple times. Called Island Escapes who quickly put me in touch with the maintenance team who walked me through how to fix myself (he had covid). Easy fix, but had to do this three more times myself throughout the stay as the pressure kept dropping and we had no heat or hot water. If this was resolved, it would have been 5’s across the board.

We had a very enjoyable winter stay at this cottage, which made a good base for exploring the Island on the bus network (there is a stop on the main road, quite nearby). The cottage itself is small but cosy and we enjoyed the log burner and comfortable bathtub. There was a problem with the boiler while we were staying which was resolved with excellent service from Island Escapes.

What a gorgeous little cottage! Although the weather was against us, the cottage was so cosy to come back to after a day of adventures, the log burner had us toasty warm and comfortable in minutes! Wyllin Cott provided everything we could possibly need, the kitchen was well equipped, from potato peeler to coffee pod machine and the use of space was ingenious. We found the bedroom to be very comfortable, we took our 6 year old too who slept like a log in his little bed and particularly loved playing the board games provided in front of the fire while the wind was howling outside. We popped over to the lovely garden in our wellies and can imagine it would be gorgeous in the summer. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have already recommended it to lots of people. Thanks for having us!

Quirky cottage which makes maximum use of limited space.
Best way is to go with it - we did and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
It won’t be for everyone, especially those with limited mobility or if you enjoy a long shower - only option is sitting in the bath to wash.

Sadly the cottage was not for us and we only stayed for the first two, out of four nights.
We rarely give negative reviews, and would be happy if you decided not to publish this one. As we do appreciate the effort of the cottage owners, that have clearly put their heart into this little place. We also appreciated the response from Island Escapes in helping us get the hot water working.
The bed was low and really uncomfortable for two people.
The downstairs toilet and washing facilities was problematic.
It was cold and damp (though the heating does work very well and maybe as a Winter ‘cosy cottage’ it works).
The outdoor space was unusable ……. We went for a look at the summerhouse, as we hoped to invite our Grandchildren over for a picnic. The ground is covered in stinging nettles and the path down to it overgrown, with quite a few big brambles.



Quirky but very nicely presented

Wyllin Cot is smaller than expected but the owners have been very clever in maximising space in a very tasteful way. High quality fixtures, fittings and decor add to the enjoyment of the cottage. The cottage will not suit everyone as highlighted in the provided information because of the tight spaces but we loved it because of the character and decor.

A quirky little cottage, perfect for any couple seeking a weekend break/ few days break in a lovely quiet location within easy walking distance of Kirk Michael Village, Glen Wyllin beach and surrounding countryside. The allocated parking area is tight (but manageable) for a medium sized SUV car, located facing out of the cottage diagonally to the left off the narrow access road. We really enjoyed our short stay and would readily recommend the cottage to any active couple.
