The Little House – For up to 3 people.  

The Garden Suite For up to 3 people. 

(To go directly to the current rates applicable to these properties please scroll down this page).

These privately owned, pretty coral stone properties each comfortably sleep 2 people and will each accommodate a third person as camp-style beds can be provided. 

The Little House can be rented on its own, or together with The Garden Suite.

The Little House & Garden Suite are located in the parish of St. Peter on the prestigious 'platinum' north west coast of Barbados. These private, self-contained havens enjoy magnificent panoramic views of Port St. Charles, the marina and the Caribbean Sea - just 1 and a half kilometres away.

 

The Little House & The Garden Suite are peaceful, tranquil and stylish - the perfect places to unwind and rejuvenate both mind and body.

You can totally relax and enjoy the romantic surroundings of the lush and tropical gardens. Watch the sea sparkle, the hummingbirds feeding and monkeys playing around the spacious terrace deck. The terrace is furnished with comfortable sun loungers and a wrought iron table & chairs. Take a cooling dip in the jacuzzi pool, utilise your culinary skills and barbeque some freshly-caught fish, or go down to the sea and swim with the turtles in the crystal clear blue waters.

In the evenings, watch the spectacular sunsets followed by magical fireflies performing.

See the marina lights and stars twinkle as you sip a cooling cocktail at the end of each day before falling gently asleep to the sounds of Barbados.

On your arrival, Karen, the owner of The Little House & Garden Suite, will give you a very warm welcome. As she lives within the same grounds, she will be on hand to answer any questions that you may have regarding your stay. 

A car is highly recommended for you to get the most out of your holiday and there is ample parking space for guests beside The Little House. If you wish, Karen will arrange car hire for you. Alternatively, she can offer a chauffeur service should you require it. (Please see the section below headed YOUR OPTIONAL TAILOR-MADE HOLIDAY’).
Plunge Pool

You will find every amenity, including banks, restaurants and shops in nearby historic Speightstown - about a mile, and less than a 5 minute drive away. Here you can sample the vibrant nightlife or indulge in a candlelit dinner by the sea.

Balcony View over Port St CharlesPort St. Charles and the uncrowded, beautiful white sandy beaches of Six Men’s Bay and Smittons Bay are just 15 minutes walk away. There are no private beaches in Barbados, therefore you are welcome to visit as many as you choose. 

Garden Suite Living AreaFarley Hill Nature Reserve is just a short drive away and is an ideal spot for a picnic – especially on the refreshingly cool ridge overlooking the breathtaking views across the island and down to the east coast.

Sleeping AreaA selection of excellent bars and restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets are located within easy reach on the west coast, or further afield if you feel that you would like to explore the island.

Supermarkets, a cyber café, medical centres, a post office, banks and an air-conditioned shopping mall - with duty free shops - are located in Sunset Crest & Holetown just a short drive to the south of Port St. Charles and Speightstown.  

The Little House is a light and airy, very tastefully decorated, open-plan studio apartment. Thanks to its traditional-style jalousie windows, it can be kept comfortably cool inside by using the ceiling fans and without the need for air-conditioning. 

The sleeping area includes a double bed, (plus an optional camp-style bed if required), a wardrobe and a bedside cabinet. The comfortable living area offers a sofa, TV (local channel only), a DVD player, radio/CD player, a safe, hairdryer and a telephone - for accepting incoming and making outgoing local calls - which are free.

GUEST BOOK.

"Absolutely stunning location and perfect accommodation. We had the perfect holiday".

Heidi and Martin from Northampton, UK.

"Irene, we had a lovely holiday at The Little House - our best visit to Barbados to date and that was helped by the excellent service and back-up you provided. We will be definitely using your services from now on, when we visit the island. We have recommended you to friends and relatives".

Bob & Jane from Telford, UK.

"What a wonderful vacation. We loved the gazebo and ate all of our meals out there. Waking up to sounds of the birds! We also loved cooling off in the plunge pool and relaxing on the patio. The view is enough to soothe all your anxiety and leave you well rested.

We highly recommend the Little House and Karen and Peter are the perfect hosts."

Shelly and Dave from Michigan USA.

"The welcome and friendly hospitality of Karen and Peter in their wonderful home in Barbados was fantastic.

Set up in the hill overlooking the sea, this is a truly beautiful spot and nowhere is far to travel on the island. Karen can cater for any of your needs, if you so wish. Just relax and enjoy.

We are very much looking forward to our next trip out to see them."

Richard, Lucie, Harriet (11), Eleanor (9) and Alexandra (7).

"We would like to thank you for your kindness, courtesy & hospitality during our stay at The Little House. You made us feel just like native Barbadians.

The Little House was very clean and tastefully decorated, and it seemed to us that it was designed with the traveler in mind. Everything necessary for a home away from home was there. The whirlpool was just what we needed after a long day of touring. We especially enjoyed the gazebo for dining and relaxing.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and would certainly recommend it to others."

Gerald and Donna Muller from Saskatchewan, Canada.

"My husband and I stayed at The Little House on our honeymoon. The secluded atmosphere was very romantic with its picturesque location. We had all the privacy that we wanted with the lush landscaping around the house, gazebo and pool area while still being close to the ocean and town for shopping, dinner and nightlife.

Karen and Peter were perfectly hospitable in the weeks preceding our trip, making sure we had everything we needed, and throughout our stay, planning and arranging different activities for us and recommending different 'must-see' spots on the island.

The Little House seems far from little with all of its luxuriant character."

Ashley Smyczek.

"A chill autumn evening and memories of Barbados surface, yet again.

The pride of the West Indies is, as you'll discover, everything that has been said or written about it, especially its people. Self-catering? Look no further — The Little House with its view of the ocean from the Gazebo, its peace periodically broken by the sudden arrival of the monkeys, breakfast with a chorus of bird life and your host - Karen.

Attentive without being intrusive, private yet friendly. Stuck in Speightstown in the evening and buses to St. Lucy are few and far between and you really can't face that hill again, call Karen and she'll be there — not a trace of irritation that she's been troubled. Tour the island, of course you can pay for those advertised tours but you'd be wise to use your host — we did and the cost was competitive and personal.

We could go on but won't. Suffice to say, at the next opportunity, we'll return and enjoy the experience of Barbados, The Little House in St. Peter and joy of joys, may Karen be there still".

Sabbie Rawana, John Morse & Robin Lount.

"We found the Little House contained everything we needed for our comfortable stay in a most beautiful and scenic area of Barbados. We spent a most relaxing and enjoyable holiday which was greatly enhanced by the friendliness and helpfulness of Karen and Peter who made us feel part of their family and we eagerly look forward to our next visit."

Audrey.
