GUEST BOOK. "Lovely spot. Hope we can return sometime ! You have been very helpful, to us and to my parents - thank you Irene !" Elizabeth - Berks, UK. March/April 2011.
"Irene, if anything, the villa exceeded our expectations. It was bigger than expected and had more privacy than expected. Your pre-arrival service was excellent and very helpful." Michael & family - London, UK. February 2011.
"Hello Irene, We had a wonderful time in Barbados, and at # 7 Porters Court. It was especially pleasant to leave NY at -10°C with snow on the ground and arrive in Bridgetown at 30°. Quite a change in 5 hours. As you had arranged, we were met by Harold at the airport in a mini bus with plenty of room for us and our luggage, and he got us to Porters Court in 35-40 minutes. Keri-Ann was waiting for us when we arrived and she gave us the tour of # 7, the property, and the gate by # 2. Keri-Ann and all the ladies working there were most helpful and so friendly and sweet. Andrea enjoyed talking with Dennys about the plants in his beautiful gardens. The villa was very well maintained. It had just about everything you would have at home – TV, internet, air conditioning, an ironing board, free local telephone calls, washer and dryer, and a well-equipped kitchen. There were plenty of towels and beach towels, and books to read. There was also a nice selection of brochures, maps and information about Barbados. The property was so well supplied that it is hard to think of anything lacking. We cooked dinner two nights on the BBQ grill. Other nights we ate in Holetown at Just Grillin’, Zaccios, Sitar, and The Beach House. We had lunches at Patisserie Flindt and the restaurant at Mullins Bay. We also tried the newly-opened Ramshackle Bar right on the beach, just north of The Lone Star. We had drinks and terrific fish cakes, (we would call them fish fritters). We didn’t have dinner there, but the menu was very reasonable and the staff were very nice. We took a cab one day to Fisherpond Great House for a special National Trust open house day. All our other trips were by walking or the buses. We went to Bridgetown and Speightstown by bus as well as several trips to Holetown. The buses are cheap, well marked and the people were very helpful for us tourists. The yellow buses with the loud music were a lot of fun ! We had a great time. When we left, we called Harold and he was wonderfully prompt for our noon pick-up. We want to thank you for all your help. Your friendly, quick replies were most informative and reassuring. It isn’t always easy doing business internationally, (and across three countries and in two different currencies), but you handled every detail impeccably. We would be confident in recommending Porters Court to our family and friends. Thanks for everything. Best regards", Michael and Andrea - New York, USA. January 2011.
"Hi Irene,
“We just got back from sunny Barbados last night and had a relaxing 10 days again staying at this delightful villa. The plans went very smoothly and I really appreciate the owner of the villa calling me when we arrived, and later to check we were settled in. Keri Ann very kindly had the villa ready for us. It feels like our ’second home’ and I gather a lot of other visitors tell you that too, but it is so true. The villa is so very well appointed and so very comfortable. We sleep so well as the bed is really comfortable. We now find we can go there with less baggage as all our needs are met. We swam in the pool every afternoon after our days on the beach. We love Holetown and all it has to offer. The restaurants are very good and we like to try a new one each time, but also do a lot of our own cooking as we get fresh fish from the Weston Fish Market. We have got to know ‘Smokey’ the fishmonger quite well. We would really like to book the villa again for next year. Again, thanks so much for having us back at such short notice. It was a wise decision for us to avoid the hurricane in Bermuda, and we had a much better vacation at # 7 anyway. All the best”. Denise - Canada. September 2010 (2nd visit).
"To quote our 14 year old son, "the villa exceeded our expectations!'" We all felt very comfortable at Porters. Keri-Ann is great. We enjoyed talking with her and Dennys who does a wonderful job with he gardens. The pool was greatly enjoyed by us all - especially the children. We had fun, and having inflatables provided is a fantastic idea ! Well done ! Mary, the owner of the villa telephoned, this was a surprise, a very nice touch. We visited Ju Ju's beach bar twice, enjoyed the food while watching the sunset. Went to Mullins beach on Shabba's boat and swam with turtles - amazing ! Zuma's pit stop past Mullins and the Texaco station offered local food - very good and set us up for the day". The Nicholson family - London, UK. August 2010.
"Hi Irene, We had a beautiful time in
Barbados. The accommodation was everything we I shall be returning to Porters Court. I thank you for your assistance and
information Niall - N. Ireland. July 2010.
"Dear Irene , We had a fantastic holiday in # 7 Porters Court. The villa is beautiful and every bit as good as expected. The villa is very private and yet very close to the beach. We enjoyed the A/C as it was very hot. Keri Ann was very friendly and helpful and kept the place very clean and tidy for us during our stay. The welcome package was fantastic as we did not have to go shopping for the first few days. Dennys keeps the gardens really lovely and was very pleasant to talk to. The trip was fantastic and we are planning to go back again next year at this time. Thanks again for all your help and please pass on my compliments to the owner, Mary, as she has a beautiful villa. All the best and take care". Denise - Canada. May 2010.

"Everything was wonderful ! Irene, you do a fantastic job and should be proud of your service and efficiency". ST - February/March 2010.
"10 out of 10 property. We really, really loved the villa. We had a great time and Keri-Ann was lovely. We also loved the fact that almost everything was provided - down to toilet rolls & washing powder. We definitely hope to return to Porters Court". AF - August/September 2009

We enjoyed our holiday very much and were very happy with the accommodation and facilities. Keri-Ann looked after the villa very well and the gardens were well-maintained by Denys. We would love to return next year. Many thanks." GS - January 2008

" Accommodation fabulous - no complaints. We had a wonderful holiday". JM - July 2007
"Well, we are back in the UK after spending 3 wonderful weeks in Barbados, and in your lovely villa. It was everything we thought it would be and we felt very comfortable there. I shall always remember sitting outside at the table on the verandah eating our breakfast and feeding the birds. It was so peaceful and lovely. The barbeque was a huge success and we had quite a few nice evenings just sitting around talking and drinking the rum punch!!!! Thank you once again for allowing us to use your home." JR - January 2007
"We would both like to thank you for letting us have the use of your super villa for the week. What a great location. You have done it in real style and fantastic to find it so well equipped - home from home, which is not always the case, so again many, many thanks. We had a super week. We found all the amenities very easily - the information in the villa was excellent and the management company kept in touch. Erna (the housekeeper) was very helpful, even staying on well into the evening to welcome us as our flight was delayed 3 hours from Manchester. Also many thanks to the taxi company who waited around the airport from 4.00 pm to pick us up. I am sure this won't be our last visit to your beautiful villa. We still have more places to see. It is always good to leave something for the next time!!" A & DS - December 2006
"We had the most fabulous holiday in your villa. It was wonderfully comfortable and had everything we could possibly want. We all agreed that it was our best holiday. This was my first trip to Barbados and I fell in love with it. So I just wanted to say thank you for letting us use your lovely villa. It certainly helped make it a perfect holiday."
BT - June
2006 "Hi Irene The holiday was excellent. Thank you so much for everything. The taxi was there waiting for us when we arrived which was brilliant. The villa was much more than we expected and we are looking forward to returning next year - hope to do a twin centre with Grenada. Will be in touch soon. Kindest regards". AD - June 2006.
"Everything met our expectations - we were very pleased with the accommodation, the facilities, the service and the inclusive extras (towels, linen, soap etc.) - excellent. We had a fantastic holiday and we will be in touch by email for next year!!" CT - June 2006
"Once again we had a super time in Barbados. Everything was as lovely as last year, just wish we could have stayed a little longer. Many thanks for the welcome pack and taxis to and from the airport. Your maid was also super so thanks go to her. We would love to go back (for a third visit) next year"
CH - June 2006 "Your villa was just what we needed and as I'm sure you've been told many a time it was just like going from home to home. You must be very proud of it and it shows in the villa itself. The party will, without fail be taking you up on the offer of using again next year at some point." AD - May 2006
"Your villa is simply superb. Erna (your maid) is a star and a great conversationalist. Thanks again for your organisational skills. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay so far and we'll relish our final week in your gorgeous villa!" L & J W - April 2006
"I have been meaning to drop you a line to let you know we had a wonderful holiday in Barbados. The villa was just perfect and our son just loved the pool (we couldn't get him out of it!). Thanks again for helping make our stay so great. I'm sure we will be back again in the future." LS - March 2006
"I am writing to let you know that we had a very enjoyable and relaxing holiday in your beautiful home, for which 1 thank you." PB - December 2005
"Just a quick note to say that we had a fantastic holiday and have now returned safely home. Erna was fantastic, and really helped us out. Your villa was gorgeous as was the pool. Our daughter enjoyed it, but 1 have to say the beach won out. We even managed to get as far as Bottom Bay, Bathsheba and Harrison's cave, all of which went down very well." AM - November 2005
"We wanted to let you
know that we had an amazing holiday in Barbados. The island itself is
absolutely beautiful and is inhabited by the most friendly and welcoming
people imaginable. AP - October 2005
"I wanted to write as well to say that our holiday was superb, the accommodation was fantastic and because it was so quiet we felt like the pool was our own private facility!! We loved it so much we may well return!!!!" CL - September 2005
"Our holiday was superb, the accommodation was fantastic and because it was so quiet, we felt like the pool was our own private facility! Our holiday was made extra special by the fact that we found out that we are expecting our first child! So Barbados will always have a special place in our hearts. We are very confident that we will return !"CL & SL - September 2005.
"From Porters Court we could easily explore all that Barbados had to offer knowing that we had a luxurious relaxing place to return to each day." OM - June 2005
"The holiday was excellent... if not too short. Thanks for the use of your lovely home." MW - June 2005 "I just wanted to write and thank you very much for the use of your lovely home over the past couple of weeks. We had a wonderful time and couldn’t have wished for anywhere nicer to stay. I commented in your visitors’ book that it was much more than a rental home - more a ‘home from home’ – and it made the holiday so much nicer because of it. We hired a car from Stoutes for a few days last week and they were very efficient, as you had said. It gave us a chance to explore the Atlantic side of the island plus see some of the other tourist sights. We also enjoyed walking down to the Royal Pavilion in the evening and sampling some of their lovely cocktails! We had a very nice meal there one evening too and the food was excellent. If we decide to return to Barbados in the future you can be sure I’ll be in touch with you again. In the meantime, I am hopefully doing a good marketing job for you in letting friends, family and work colleagues know about a lovely place to stay should they decide on a holiday in Barbados!" LW - June 2005
"Just a short email
to thank you for the use of your beautiful villa. We returned yesterday from
a fantastic 10 days in sunny Barbados, and we all agree that it was a
terrific holiday. CD - April 2005 "We got back yesterday and I’m taking a break from ironing to let you know how very much we enjoyed Porters Court. The air of peace and tranquillity of Porters Court was so special, and the colour all around with the foliage, flowers and birds was just delightful. We spent a great deal of time sitting on the veranda just enjoying the ambience. The swimming pool was brilliant and a perfect temperature. We really couldn’t fault anything. Porters Court is an unexpected jewel and oasis …. We visited quite a few attractions and enjoyed snorkelling a few times and pottered round (or should I say potholed round – the smaller roads are diabolical!!!!). But really we were perfectly happy just to stay in Porters Court a lot of the time, lapping up the weather and the atmosphere. It was definitely the right decision ……" CL - May 2005
"I don’t know how to express it but Barbados is a small heaven in the Caribbean Sea. We had such a good holiday that we are thinking of going back there again next year. Your villa is beautiful inside and out and it is in the best location in Barbados, and there is nothing I can say that needs adding or changing". AE - March 2004
