I enjoyed the location of the property. The property did not have AC which made it impossible to stay there during the day. Could only stay there at night. HOPE that the owner would consider installing AC ASAP. The home needed a general cleaning. It was dusty and dirty. My son and I had to spend the entire night cleaning the bathroom, kitchen and bedroom on our very first night at the property. The TV did not work. The bathroom light did not work on our very first night there. The linens were disgusting with stains. It was the worse place i have ever stayed in Barbados. Unfortunately i was there for 35 days. Big mistake!!!!!!!

Can’t really complain, price was affordable. You cannot expect Four Seasons quality at these prices. There is a club next door, nice to visit, and the noise isn’t too bad ant night. Also a dog in the neighbours yard whines a lot. A couple of minor leaks (roof, toilet and fridge). Maintenance person said they would fix all that for next guests. The biggest recommendation I would give the owner is to buy an air conditioner (even just a portable). The heat was debilitating, even at night. Location is good; short walks to two beaches, and grocery store near by. You can also go get a coffee at the Waves hotel near by. Good place if you are on a budget.

A great holiday let, both Maurice and OB were very helpful. Easy access to virtually anywhere on the island. Everything we imagined Barbados to be, some good cheap and cheerful bars plus good eateries if required. Highly recommend Babbs Cottage.

Another lovely stay at Barb’s. Was here in November for a month the weather was much better this time around!! Thank you OB, Maurice and Michael for making my stay so comfortable. Love Barb’s access to the beaches and groceries. Planning my next year’s vacation at Barb’s!

It was perfect for our weeks stay. We really enjoyed the beach and La Cabene bar and grill on the beach. Had everything we needed. Perfect.

Good place for the money

Barb’s cottage is exactly what we were looking for! It is just as shown in the pictures and precisely as described. The location is great - steps to the beach and buses! 5 minute walk to Jordan’s for all your grocery needs. As we were staying a month, I took advantage of their Jordan’s free shuttle service on my first shop. So easy and the driver takes you right to the door and helps bring your load into the house. Easy bus ride to Holetown (although we found it a little too “touristy” for us), Speightstown, Bridgetown, and the South Coast beaches. Must try restaurants walking distance from the cottage: La Cabane is dreamy for a special night. Il Tempio is great for a pizza and glass of wine on the beach. Our favourite was Wendy’s Sports Bar - fabulous and very inexpensive. Loads of delicious food options but we really recommend the pigtails and the ribs - and definitely try the One Drop Sauce (not for the faint of heart). The staff here along with the owner, Mr. Simpson, make you feel like one of the family. Another “must do” is Simone’s Bajan Kitchen and Beach Service at Thunder Bay/Reeds Bay! They are just the friendliest locals providing the best homemade buffet on the beach. Rent a lounger and umbrella from her and make sure you are there for lunch. She takes reservations trough WhatsApp and has a FaceBook page. Finally, the VO Lounge across the gap from the cottage is so special. Upscale, intimate, chic, sexy and fantastic nightly entertainment! Chris and Shania will ensure your glass is never empty and make you feel so very, very welcome. The owner, Tara, and her partner, Oliver, are gems. Good people who gave us the warmest welcome upon our arrival. We came home feeling like we left our VO Family behind. Maurice, the property manager, and OB, Barb’s Cottage owner, were incredibly helpful. The entire process from our initial booking inquiry to check-out was seamless. Both gents are super friendly and you immediately want to be friends with them! If you want to embrace the local community and have a worry-free holiday, this is the place for you.

Barbs cottage is exactly that - a cottage, and it was lovely. We spent the month of November in this little gem that provided everything we needed. We had some unpredictable weather and were able to enjoy the back patio where the monkeys would come and visit in the morning and the fireflies at night. The location provides easy access to some of the most beautiful beaches within a 2 or 5 minute walk. Jordan’s the grocery store is just down the road. and those crazy “party buses” will take you anywhere. and are easy access at the end of the drive. The road can be a little noisy at times but the frogs will always sing you to sleep. Thank you OB, Maurice and Terry for your quick response in helping with any questions we had or if we needed anything and always always with a smile.. Wonderful. Will be back soon.
