We loved our stay. It was perfect for the two of us. Took a couple of days to acclimate to sleeping with no air conditioning but after that we were fine! We would definitely do it again.

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.

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.

Our intention was to step out of our busy schedule and go spend a week at the beach. Barb’s Cottage is perfectly located for that purpose being across the street. It is very safe and allowed us to cook our own meals if necessary or go to local restaurants. Second time there and second wonderful time! Donovan Cox

Barb's Cottage is a charming oasis in close proximity to 2 beautiful beaches and a very well provisioned local grocery store. We particularly enjoyed our daily walks to Bats Rock beach, which boasts a pristine sandy shoreline, clean public washrooms and a lively beach bar. We especially enjoyed the tranquility of the small private garden surrounded by lush tropical vegetation. The outdoor shower was divine. Our only constructive suggestion would be that it would be a good idea to acquire reading lamps for the bedrooms. It is a perfect venue for curling up with a great book, but inadequate lighting in the bedrooms made that challenging. Overall we would highly recommend Barb's Cottage and would definitely consider a return visit. David & Jacqueline

Barbs Cottage are good for a couple /Family me and my fiance have stayed in barbs for 7weeks. They have complete equipment for cooking the oven is working well they have complete utensils too. What we love about Barbs are the PATIO and the Shower outside. We like to hang out outside so we can watch the perfect sunset as we can view the ocean as well. There's random monkeys in the neighborhood and the shower is just perfect if you'd like a different scenery while showering. OB is fast to response to our inquiries and his assistant Maurice too. We came in a season where is super hot and there's lockdown happening so we have to stay inside most of the time and it can get extremely warm at noon so we shower 3-5x in a day since BARBS doesn't have AC but in the evening it can get cold so we really don't mind showering many times since barbs have outdoor shower we enjoyed that. Barbs is also located near to the supermarket 8min walk and the beach is 3min walk. Overall we enjoyed our stay in Barbs we left a playingCards so it can be useful whenever you feel bored during the lockdown. We will come back. thanks Barbs Cottage! It was a pleasure ❤

We were pleasantly surprised with our recent rental of Barb's Cottage. It's nothing fancy - basic comfortable accommodation in a lovely location. We were worried that there was no A/C but by the end of the first day, didn't miss it at all. Ceiling and floor fans did the trick. The property could use a refresh but was well-equipped in the kitchen. Could use a couple of table lamps in the bedroom and living room to avoid the harsh glare of ceiling lighting but again we got used to it and it wasn't a problem. Right across the road from one of the nicest West Coast beaches and a short walk to Jordan's grocery store (either by the beach or the road). Don't miss La Cabane beach bar/restaurant at Batts Rock Beach (10 minute walk - terrific beach and great vibe for happy hour - live jazz on Wednesday nights and steel drums on Sundays). Easy transport by bus to anywhere on the island but Prospect is a bit removed. Took us 1 3/4 hrs on Friday evening to get to Oistins fish fry. Hometown is a short bus ride north and has lots to choose from for shopping (mostly pretty pricy), dining (a variety of choices) and nightlife. We ate at Surfside bar/resto, had great meal at competitive price, with live reggae music and dancing on a Monday evening (band was Symphony). We'll definitely return to Barb's Cottage!!

This was our first time on Barbados and Barb’s Cottage was a perfect base for our stay. The cottage comes well equipped with extra sheets and towels. The kitchen has everything needed to cook meals and make drinks. There is lots of space enough for a family of four. Maurice, the property manager was a dream to deal with and was just a call away if needed. He also got us hooked up with a car rental company that had great rates. The closest beach is just across the road and there is a bus stop at the end of the street. Will definitely stay at Barb’s Cottage on our next trip to Barbados.

The accommodation is basic (reflected in the price) but had everything you need, in a great location. The outdoor lifestyle of swimming and snorkling nd returning to Barbs Cottage for a shower and sitting outside with a chill out drink took us back to our youth. Barbs cottage gave us a good value opportunity to come to Barbados and we loved every minute of it.
