Sue was so helpful and couldn’t do enough for us. Terry, Kevin and Cherrie looked after us so well we felt spoilt. True paradise. Would love to stay again.

It was very nice. However we ran out of toilet tissue and having 8 women in the house it was difficult but we went out a purchased our own.

Ocean view, large pool, hot tub, 6 bedrooms-all with private bathrooms, fantastic outdoor living and dining areas. What made our week even more special was the villa staff: Chef Terry cooked us a wonderful breakfast and dinner each day, Housekeeper Cherry kept villa clean, but THE best was KEVIN! Always with a smile,he was available 12plus hours a day to make our days special. In addition to preparing our dining tables, serving, he helped us with menus and volunteered to do the shopping. Kevin makes fantastic rum punches and other tropical drinks. He made sure our glasses were always ‘topped off’. Whatever the request, he said yes. What a treasure! None would be possible without the lovely owner Sue. She communicated promptly with answers to our many questions prior to arrival and warmly greeted us upon our arrival. You should look no further than this villa for your stay in Barbados.

I’ll start with the fact that part of what made the whole experience so wonderful is the setting, weather, surroundings, etc. The temperature throughout the week was ideal, it was hot but not humid, there was a subtle breeze (no strong winds ever) and the temperature at night was also quite perfect, warm but not muggy. Our group consisted of 10 people, 6 adults and 4 children ranging in ages from 6 months to 4 years old. The house is more than large enough to accommodate a group of our size and to give everyone a nice balance of quiet areas and personal space along with some fantastic common areas to congregate in. The house itself is beautiful and well furnished, the kitchen is nice and spacious and the rooms are all very nice. The covered outdoor space is beautiful and incredibly convenient when letting young ones wander around and avoid too much sun. The furniture in this area is particularly comfortable, including four glider chairs and three spacious sofas. I’d say this is probably the best part of the house. The pool is also really great and even bigger than I anticipated from the pictures. Lots of comfortable, clean pool chairs to use and to enjoy the sunny weather. And finally, the views from virtually any of these places is spectacular, best of all were the sunsets of course. In addition, what truly made this vacation memorable are the people. It’s evident that Sue truly cares for her house and her guests and she made the entire process of booking and then preparing for our trip a seamless experience. She was pro-active with things like arranging rental cars, transfers from the airport, organizing food and drinks for our arrival and even in helping us prepare packing lists. Our house host Kevin was extremely hospitable and he is such a stand-up guy. He went out of his way to make sure everything about our stay was wonderful from accompanying us to the grocery store to preparing refreshing cocktails (at the perfect time). Terry is a wonderful chef and cooked some top notch meals for us all week. Hard to say which meal was the best but some highlights included, bajan style chicken, lightly breaded flying fish, a delicious chicken curry, pepperpot stew and burnt onion rice, etc. Sherry-Ann kept the house tidy and took great care of us all week too. Together the crew made this vacation that much better. Needless to say, it was a fantastic experience and we will absolutely be returning at some point (soon).

We had a wonderful week at The Old Sugar House. The bedrooms (all ensuite) are supremely comfortable and the staff couldnt be more helpful and amenable. The house is in a wonderful secluded position overlooking the west side of the island and while off the beaten track it is easily accessible with several houses nearby. The reception space is very well laid out with lots of different sitting and eating areas with plenty of room to entertain larger numbers. It is decorated beautifully, with quirky contemporary touches at the same time relaxed and tasteful. The gardens are beautiful and on several levels below the house. The wildlife enthusiasts in our party didnt need to leave the garden as hummingbirds flit in and out of the bushes by the pool and monkeys move stealthily in the trees behind stealing the flowers to eat delicately. Terry really looked after us well. He is a great cook and breakfast is not a meal to be missed especially when he is cooking his omelettes. Kevin is charming and gentle makes the best rum punches. Cherry Ann kept all our rooms spotless and ironed to perfection while always smiling. They were all absolutely sweet. We cannot recommend this villa more highly.

We visited The Old Sugar House for Christmas 2017 and couldnt have been more delighted. The property itself is stunning, in a beautiful location not too close to the sea but easily within walking distance. The bedrooms are spacious and the ample living area is furnished lovingly, as if it were our own home.The pool is just the right size and we spent lots of time in here during the hot days. There are more than enough sun loungers and umbrellas on the patio around the pool.Terry (the chef), Kevin (the butler) and Sherry-Ann (the maid) were brilliant. They made us feel so at home and made the holiday even better. Terrys food was a delight. Kevins drinks, his service and his chat were perfect. Sherry-Ann worked very hard and did a brilliant job.I cannot recommend The Old Sugar House more highly, we will certainly return in the future!

My family and I stayed at the beautiful Sugar House for 12 days! As soon as we walked in, we were blown away! The layout of the house is just fantastic! My mother still talks about it. The main living area is all in the open which makes it so relaxing and enjoyable. We were 7 adults (28-65) and 1 baby : it was just perfect! The layout of the house allowed for us all to be living under one roof yet still have privacy and quiet areas to enjoy when we wanted. The fact that it was baby proofed (baby gates for the stairs) and crib / high chair already in place made it really easy to travel with the little one! Kevin, Terry, Jill were all amazing and so helpful. The house is very clean, the staff is great, the house is perfect, Sue is so sweet and accomodating. We only have good things and great memories from our stay. I know every single one of us would recommend this house without hesitation.

What an absolutely incredible place. The views were indescribable, the staff warm, efficient and talented, and Sue & David did everything they could to make us feel as welcome as possible, without being intrusive. The best way to explain the layout was outdoors indoors. The villa's living areas have been designed to be sympathetic to the plantation and without walls or barriers, so 90% of your awake time is with only a roof only, over your head. It works incredibly well, although at night you have the ability to lock yourself in. Birds feed at the table and monkeys frolick in the trees, whilst you enjoy beautiful food or drinks from the various dining areas and bar. At times, we didn't want to leave the villa, as we preferred the food and ambience to anything else that Barbados had to offer. It's a 15 minute walk to Mullins Beach, which is one of the best on the West Coast with a great restaurant, bar and all the usual watersports etc. All the big and famous restaurants are only a 10 minute drive, assuming that you ever want to leave. The kids said it was the best holiday they ever had, and the only challenge was getting out of Ireland life and back into the UK flow. Can't wait to go back, and we WILL go back

Spent a week here with a group of 10.Our party had the most amazing stay in this beautiful villa which was made all the more special by the fabulous staff. Our every need was catered for. The location was fabulous as were the facilities and the views.........fantastic. The property is well maintained and spotless with beautiful décor. It was so nice of the owners to drop in and see us on our first day. We would all recommend this property and would love to return.......one day hopefully.

We had a lovely time in Barbados in this gorgeous villa! The staff was absolutely lovely and very helpful. I highly recommend a relaxing stay at the sugar house! Sophia from France. Je recommande vivement un séjour dans cette villa absolument magnifique dans laquelle on se sent bien dès l'arrivée. Le personnel est très agréable et efficace. Un superbe séjour à la Barbade dont je me souviendrais! SOPHIA

Our family group of eleven, ranging from age 25 to 80, stayed at The Old Sugar House to celebrate a year of special birthdays and wedding anniversaries. We wanted somewhere really special and TOSH did not let us down. Sue and Dave were absolutely marvellous right from the start and helped in so many ways, including arranging our transport and preliminary shopping. The outside area of the house is so very relaxing and we spent the first few days just staring out at the fantastic view over the sugar cane fields to the sea , looking at the beautiful gardens and watching the wildlife. The staff are fantastic - Terry is an amazing chef, he discussed our menus with us for each day and accommodated everyone's tastes with no problem at all. Julius was always on hand, doing our shopping, setting tables, serving the food, pouring the wine, making amazing rum punch! Stephanie discreetly tidied, cleaned and also washed our clothes which appeared back in the wardrobe as if by magic. There's plenty to do if you can tear yourselves away from the house. We didn't hire a car but it was easy to arrange taxis to accommodate all of us. We hired a private catamaran for 3 hours with a company called Small Cats; this was a great trip which took us swimming with the turtles and snorkelling over wrecks. The walk down to Mullins Beach takes about 20 to 25 minutes and is easy if you're reasonably fit. Unfortunately the beach bar wasn't open when we were there but it all looked good and we were easily able to hire jet skis. I could say so much more but suffice it to say - just go and find out yourself - you won't be disappointed.

We had a family party of 9 adults at The Old Sugar House for a week ... it was the best week we could imagine. The setting, the furnishings, the staff were all first class. Sue and David were very helpful prior to our holiday and arranged car hire and taxis for us. They answered all our queries with patience and good humour. Julius, Terry and Stephanie at the house were all very obliging and professional and made the holiday the success that it was. We will certainly look at returning in the future.

This was my 4th stay at this wonderful property, I have stayed with Girlfriends, my partner and myself with a couple of friends, my partner and my children then aged 13/14 and another couple with there children similar ages, each time I hope that the house and staff are what I recall.......well this time I stayed with my 2 children now 19/20 my step children, 32/36 and there children 6/3 Oh and last but not least my mum, but we wont mention her age!! The house was everything I recalled and possibly more!! Julias who is the house manager could not have looked after us better, from accompanying us to the supermarket ( the previous week he had done all of the shopping for the guests) to making sure that we had everything required at both the dinner and breakfast tables, especially good at making sure that our wine glasses where never empty!! One evening one of my grandchildren had what was the start of an ear infection at 11pm. ( diagnosed by Julias ) the adults had enjoyed the wine at dinner so Julias was our taxi down to the medical centre even waiting for us to be seen! Then there is his famous "Rum Punch!" having also stayed in lots of hotels on the Island including Sandy Lane you will not find rum punch like it, apparently the secret is the limes but please don't tell Julias I shared this with you! Terry our Chef was just amazing everything he cooked was just wonderful! as if we where not a crowd already we had friends on the Island so on one evening Terry cooked for a further 10 people all with fantastic results, nothing was to much trouble! Stepheny ( Dusty ) I think the nickname we had for her says it all, Oh and the fact that we all returned home with cleaned ironed clothes in our suitcase, all the time having possibly 30 towels a day to launder! Our days where mainly spent between fun in the pool and Jacuzzi with the amazing views from here to fun down on Mullins beach with its easy beach bistro ( Sunday afternoon a must with the band ) Sunbeds always available with quiet areas if required or as busy as you would like with the local watersport gentlemen who looked after us! Sundowners where always a must back at the house for the view Of the sunset! As a family we travel most months a year usually to Europe enjoying 10 days usually in Feb March in the caribean my choice above all the hotels ( I have stayed in lots of them ) would be the personal service and wonderful surrounding of "The Old Sugar House!" I booked upon our return for next year!

This was our 7th time, so something must be bringing us back. The outside space is perfect with the most amazing view. This year there was only 4 of us + granddaughter of 9 months whereas before we have been 9 adults. It is great whatever the number. The house is very comfortable, well designed and relaxing. The staff are super and very helpful. We will certainly return again. It should really be rated 4 1/2 stars but the survey wouldn't let me do that!

Luxury 5* Hotels, a la carte restuarants, spa, infinity pools .... no longer for us!!!! The Old Sugar House is all of that but soooo much more!!!!! It really felt like our own holiday home in Barbados - for just too short a time - so very, very special! Privacy, Peace, Seclusion, Luxury - a totally decadent 10 days!!! As soon as you walk through the door you are captivated, not just by the House itself but by the caribbean vista beyond. Open-plan living area, luxury interior design but with a cosy, casual Bajan feel that made you feel relaxed instantly! Beautiful bedrooms (beds so, so comfortable) 3 with private balcony areas, wonderful ensuite fittings. Magnificent Kitchen - not that we were in it that much of course as we made new friends of Terry (our Chef), and Andrew (his Bajan Rum Punch is so hmmmmm!! ... oh what a joy - fabulous Breakfasts and Dinners all in friendly consultation with our tastes - truly brill!!!! Delightful Stephanie, our Housekeeper, magically appeared daily - our suitcases returned home with clothes as laundered as when we arrived!!! The design/layout of the house together with the clever arrangement of furnishings meant that you could all be together in a group or in different quiet areas. We celebrated a Special Birthday as a Family and the privacy this gave us was unbeatable - Sue & Dave (The Owners) were exceptional - their desire to ensure that our time in their home was a happy one was outstanding! Barbados is a beautiful Island with beautiful people, colourful towns to visit, Plantation Houses for Lunch, lovely bajan beaches with characterful eating places - great food. Swimming with the Turtles is a must - WOW!!! Our aim is to 'sashay' and live life the Bajan way!!! Think you've have gathered by now that The Old Sugar House was more than special - vivid lifetime memories to treasure! Our expectations were high from the site review but were indisputably exceeded!!!! Would give TOSH 10 Stars if we could - you really have to go!!!! Thank you ... Thank you ... Thank you Karen & Family NB There is no "Recommended for" box for a 'Wedding' ... Perfect Location!!!!! Our Daughter has clocked it already!!!???

We stayed at the Old Sugar House for ten perfect days this March. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by Andrew and a wonderful welcome cocktail to set the holiday mood. The house is spectacular with a perfect layout for a large or small groups. There were 12 of us - 9 adults and 3 children. The house is divided with a master bedroom and twin room upstairs, master and twin/double room downstairs, twin room over the opposite side of the ground floor and a double room in the garden area. It is a perfect division for families to be together but with the privacy of a separate bedroom area. The house is well equipped with everything you will need. The chairs in the lounge area are so comfortable to sit and enjoy the warm breeze and take in the spectacular view of the ocean. We spent many an afternoon doing this while the children swam in the pool. The pool and hot tub at the house are perfect. The pool has a large set of stairs at the entrance which make it great for smaller children to be able to play in the pool without going too deep. Terry cooked breakfast and dinner for us daily. His use of spices is superb. Each day was a different meal with a different flavour. He introduced us to the Bajan way of cooking which was delicious. Two of the children in the group were made earlier kid friendly meals which kept them happy until the main meal was served. This was done without us asking and very much appreciated. Andrew waited on us and always made sure we had everything we needed. His rum punch was delicious which he made daily for us. Stephanie kept all the rooms and the house looking in tip top condition. We rarely saw here but knew she had been there to clean up as everything was put back in its place each day. This is the only holiday where we came back with clean laundry thanks to Stephanie - what a treat. The location of the house is perfect. It is a 5 minute ride to Mullins Beach which is a great beach with lots going on - water sports, beach chairs and a great restaurant for lunch. A short drive away is Holetown where there is a supermarket and fresh fish market. The fresh fish stand is great priced for some local fresh fish caught that morning. During our stay we did a catamaran tour, Jammin, and went to Lobster Alive for lunch in Bridgetown. Both were a great experience. We highly recommend both of them. What more can I say. The Old Sugar House is a beautiful, private home located in paradise.

The Old Sugar House was exceptional! A fabulous staff greeted us with rum punch upon our arrival. We felt right at home, the minute we walked in! The decor was stunning, but cozy and comfortable. The property was well maintained and the staff tended to all of our needs from shopping for groceries, cooking our meals, doing our laundry, and providing helpful information about the area. The house overlooks a sugar plantation and offers breathtaking views of the Caribbean from every direction. You could tour the beautiful island of Barbados or just lounge and relax at the pool. The owner provided me with all the information I needed prior to our trip and the arrangements that she made for us were seamless. We miss The Old Sugar House, but plan on returning every year to rekindle the family memories we made there. Great house and beautiful, honest and caring Bajans! You will not be disappointed!!

The Old Sugar House exceeded our expectations, the internet pictures don't do justice to the property. The outdoor living area, the patio/pool and the beautiful gardens combine to provide an exceptional property. The staff were wonderful and adapted to our needs to make the holiday completely relaxing, providing early dinner for the toddlers to enable relaxed evenings for the grown-ups. Nothing was too much trouble for Julius who quietly and unobtrusively kept everything running smoothly. We will all enjoy our memories of TOSH for many years to come.

After a 10 yr gap, our return to TOSH felt like a home coming. The Staff are so welcoming, caring and thoughtful. Nothing is too much trouble. The Grounds & setting are beautiful and so suited to relaxed family time. We love the stylish & glamorous outdoor living space that hugs the pool area. A sophisticated villa with a homely feel. The Whittaker Family.
