This boutique gem offers a blend of English country house style and authentic Caribbean charm.
Centred around a pastel pink plantation house, this elegant hotel offers understated luxury and an intimate home-away-from-home feel. Authentic touches such as decorative coral rock and locally crafted furniture reflect the hotel’s Bajan heritage. As Barbados’ only member of the prestigious Relais & Châteaux group, impeccable hospitality is assured and the warm staff go out of their way to keep you smiling. Lounge on the sundeck as staff offer icy water, fruit skewers and sorbet; explore colourful tropical gardens in search of hummingbirds and Bajan green monkeys; or discover the island’s history on a heritage tour.
Renowned as one of the best restaurants on the island, the award-winning Camelot Restaurant serves mouth-watering gourmet cuisine accompanied by an impressive wine list. Feast on local delicacies, such as blackened mahi-mahi. Afternoon tea is served daily in the Pavilion at the Great House – sip tea from fine china cups and enjoy finger sandwiches, scones and pastries. A fruity rum-based ‘Cobblers Cooler’ at the poolside cocktail bar is the perfect way to end your day.
The charming suites are set in two-storey cottages in gardens just steps from the beach. Warmly furnished with terracotta tiles and a cosy style, the suites are free of distractions such as televisions so you can appreciate the peace and natural beauty. Cobblers Garden Suites are tucked away in the gardens, Ocean View Suites offer sea views, and Ocean Front Suites are just steps from the beach. The elegant Camelot and Colleton Suites each feature a private plunge pool, Jacuzzi and stunning ocean views.
