We had a wonderful stay! We highly recommend the accommodation, you find everything you need and you feel like0 home. The queen-size bed is very comfortable and the air conditioning in the bedroom works great. Big fridge and freezer. We were lucky to stay during the mango season and were invited to take mangos from the wonderful big tree in the backyard every day. The porch is very nice to sit in with a lovely view into the garden.The apartment is located very close to beautiful Rockley Beach. There are many restaurants in the immediate vicinity, and it’s not far to Bridgetown by bus or van. Susan is a very nice host; we felt very comfortable and would come back anytime.

Such a beautiful and romantic getaway

Had a wonderful time at this amazing property in Barbados. Susan and Paul were fantastic hosts - providing great support and advice when we needed it and otherwise leaving us to our own devices. Needless to say, very romantic and relaxing! Would have no hesitation recommending this property to anybody looking for a charming, central, and private holiday in Barbados.

Charming cottage for your Barbados stay

Stayed at this cottage for nine nights while I attended a wedding in Barbados. It's a charming cottage in a great location. It's far enough away from the main thoroughfare that you don't hear traffic but close enough that a ten-minute walk will bring you to Accra Beach, restaurants, a mini mart or a quick van ride in either direction to more attractions. The cottage is very tidy and comfortable, with air conditioning in the bedroom and a sweet patio for breakfast or drinks in the evening. Could easily accommodate a couple (I was alone).Host is very responsive and friendly. I had a great stay!

Great home in perfect location

We were very impressed with the property. Beautifully situated inside the gardens of the main house and only 5 minutes away from the lovely beaches of Rockley. The Property is well equipped with a lovely kitchen, huge fridge and comfy sofas and bed. Air conditioning in the bedroom was a real bonus too. It was nice to have all the extras provided in the kitchen and bathroom ( such as soap and flannels ) and it was a pleasure to have the lovely Claire who came and cleaned twice a week.

Lovely garden cottage

Have stayed in multiple situations in Barbados and this is a great selection. As described, low key self catering. Set in the back of the garden is the 1 bed cottage. Short walk to the beach, and local shops, bank etc. We enjoyed our stay very much. Don't let this put you off but if say you had young children...playing in the yard? Sure. Walking to the beach / shops? Be careful! The only draw back is the road outside is quite fast, narrow and there is no footpath. So crossing carefully and staying out of the roadway is key.

Great little hideaway cottage

We loved our stay at Newstead Cottage. The relaxed vibe, lush garden and cosiness of the interior come across even better than photos. Normally we stay in a hotel, but in covid-regulated times it was a welcome change to have a tranquil place where we could switch off, listen to birdsong and the odd cockerel crowing... it felt much more like we blended in to Bajan life. The kitchen was superbly equipped with a huge fridge so we could comfortably fix breakfast. Other nice touches were the bedroom air conditioning, comfy bed and clean en suite shower room. Communication with the owner Susan was quick and friendly; there was no housekeeper but full change of linen including beach towels was all left there. We loved how close the cottage was to our favourite beach, Accra. We rented beds and shades from both the hotel and also Tiki Bar. We recommend Baby Doll on the boardwalk for breakfast, Shakers for the ribs, Champers for a special occasion, and Tiki Bar for lunch, the view and watching the world go by. We'd definitely come back.

Perfect Getaway

First time in Barbados and our expectations have been surpassed. Property is wonderful, good location, 5 mins from the beach and well looked after by the housekeeper Claire. Don’t stay in a hotel, rent a property like this, the experience is so much better!!Few tips, Shakers and Tapas for food, Top Cars for car rental and Cool Runnings for a Catamaran trip. All in all a perfect holiday and thank you for letting us stay in Newstead Cottage. The Frosts x

Perfect location to the best beach

We enjoyed our stay at this cottage on our first ever trip to Barbados. It was perfectly located, a quick walk to the beautiful Accra Beach and an even shorter walk to the best restaurant we experienced during our stay, Shakers. Susan was very responsive on email, and Claire was helpful with changing linens and keeping things clean. There was a bit of a mosquito issue after some rain which was a little annoying, but Susan and Claire were both responsive to the issue. We'd certainly consider staying again on a future visit. Thanks Susan and Claire!

Paradise in a home away from home

Mine and my family’s stay in the Marine Gardens was nothing short of spectacular. The property is wonderful and the proximity to the beach quickly washed away life’s stresses. I would recommend my most valued of friends to spend their vacation there as the time we spent was unforgettable. Communication with the landlord was quick and helpful whenever we had any questions about the property, and we were given no opportunities for a negative response to any part of the experience. I would give it 6 stars if I could.
