THE ACCOMMODATION:-

# 7 Porters Court is an attractive, detached villa. It is very elegantly furnished to reflect colonial plantation-style living. Built along a traditional yet stylish chattel house design with high pickled pine ceilings, hardwood flooring and coral stone rendering.

This modern, comfortable villa is air-conditioned throughout and there are ceiling fans in every room.

The spacious living area opens out to both the front and side of the shaded L-shaped veranda furnished with a large table and chairs - ideal for al fresco dining - complete with a ceiling fan and blinds that help to block out the sun at the end of the day and provide more privacy. This is the perfect place for peaceful relaxation watching the hummingbirds flitting between the exotic plants. You may also catch sight of the monkeys at dawn and dusk.

Inside the villa, the lounge area offers sofas and chairs, a coffee table, Cable TV, a 'multi region' DVD player, a stereo CD/radio/cassette player and a telephone for accepting incoming calls and making outgoing local calls - which are free.

The well-equipped kitchen area includes an oven & hob, large fridge/freezer, a microwave, toaster, coffee maker, an iron & ironing board, crockery, cutlery and glassware. A ‘stable door’ leads out from the kitchen to the garden and a small charcoal BBQ is provided for guests' use.

The small utility room with a washing machine, tumble dryer and sink is located next to the kitchen. A powder room with a w.c. and hand basin is adjacent to that.

Both of the large bedrooms are beautifully decorated in muted, tropical tones.

The master bedroom offers a queen size bed, bedside tables and lamps, fitted wardrobes, a dressing table - complete with a hairdryer - and an en suite bath/shower/w.c. room. This bedroom has a view of the pool and direct access to the veranda.

A safety deposit box is provided for guests' valuables.

The second bedroom is adjacent to a small study area and it offers twin beds, bedside tables and lamps, fitted wardrobes, a dressing table - complete with a hairdryer - and an en suite bath/shower/w.c. room.

GUEST BOOK.

"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 had a great holiday - the villa was lovely - home from home. We would happily book again if we return to Barbados."
JC - April 2009

"Thank you so much for letting us share your piece of paradise - we had such a wonderful time and yes we are planning to go again. Everything was perfect and No. 7 is such a comfortable villa - we all loved it. We hired a car and saw quite a lot of the island and used the local buses to go out in the evening. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience."
TD - March 2009

"Just had to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay at No. 7. Whilst the island of Barbados is very lovely, our holiday really was made by the level of comfort we experienced at your villa. SO much nicer than having a room in an hotel. We cooked or BBQ'd everyday and found absolutely everything we needed in the kitchen. Loved the decor - especially the 'palm' bedroom. We will long remember our wonderful evenings on the veranda watching the fireflies, listening to the frogs and sipping rum punch - perfect!"
KF - January 2009

"Many thanks again for the use of your villa for the past two weeks. Unsurprisingly we all had another fortnight of great fun. We really appreciated the chance to stay at No. 7 again."
C&R H - August 2008

"We had a fantastic time. The facilities were all spot on.

It really was a lovely spot and exceeded our expectations. The place was well-manicured and very importantly, peaceful ! - just what we wanted"

We will be in touch re next year".

JM - May 2008.

" The accommodation and facilities exceeded our expectations by miles. We look forward to returning with our family in October".

AA - May 2008

"The accommodation was exactly as described and extremely well appointed. Thank You!"
RF - April 2008

"I wanted to thank you for everything you did to make our first trip to Barbados as special as it was. We really enjoyed having your villa to call home for a week. It is well appointed, comfortable and exceptionally clean. The topper however was each morning to open the split door in the kitchen and have an adorable little bird sitting there waiting for his breakfast!!! The housekeeper and gardener could not have been nicer and more accommodating. The Managing Agent was also readily available should we have needed anything and even phoned us as we were leaving to wish us a safe trip home. A repeat trip next year is high on our wish list."
PL - April 2008

"Hi Irene,

"Just to say that the standard of accommodation was excellent. Even cut glass wine glasses !

We were very happy with the arrangements. Keri was there to greet us, Rudy arrived with the car within the hour and the newspapers were delivered - all very efficient".

JA - February 2008

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

"# 7 was absolutely fabulous ! - Everything was superb. Our holiday was a wonderful experience".

CH - December 2007

" Accommodation fabulous - no complaints. We had a wonderful holiday".

JM - July 2007

"Once again we had a terrific holiday in Barbados with super weather, and this was made all the more enjoyable by the use of your lovely villa again. When we walked in Tom, our eldest son, did say "it feels just like going home" and I know exactly what he meant. SO thanks once again and I'm sure it won't be long until we are in touch again about a fourth visit to our second home in Barbados."
C&R H - May 2007

"We thoroughly enjoyed our second visit to No. 7, and hope to make a third in the not too distant future. Funny how 24 hours after returning home, it feels like the holiday happened to somebody else!"
J&L W - May 2007

"Just to say thanks with all your help before our arrival at Porters Court. The villa was great and in a lovely setting, and your housekeeper was really helpful. We spent most of our time by the pool and beaches with a bit of touring around too. We've rented lots of cottages/villas and this is got to be one of the best."
C&J B - March 2007

"Just a quick line to tell you we had a wonderful time in Barbados and the villa was everything we had hoped for. Erna (the housekeeper) was very helpful on our arrival and indeed throughout our stay. My wife wrote a novel in your visitors book as did our friends who came to stay."
BM - February 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.

Your villa is absolutely perfect in all respects and is ideally located to explore the best of Barbados. We all felt completely comfortable and relaxed as soon as we arrived.

Porters Court itself is a peaceful and colourful treasure and the swimming pool was a delight - and at a perfect temperature. The staff are very attentive and most helpful even giving us tips about the island.

We are so delighted with this villa that we have already booked a return trip next year and we are recommending it to all our family and friends as the perfect holiday venue."

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.

The weather was fab. but the lovely villa contributed a huge part to the overall experience. Barbados was just as beautiful as we remember and the boys both thought it was a great place to go.

Christine at Island villas (the Managing Agents) was a great help, and your maid was extremely helpful.

Thank you as well for organising the taxis to and from the airport, and for the welcome pack which was waiting for us on arrival. In fact, I can't think of anything which didn't go smoothly as planned

I have already recommended your villa to a friend who is thinking of visiting the island, and I am sure that if / when we plan another trip we will be in contact again regarding the availability of number 7 Porters Court."

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".
