Guest Reviews:
Your own piece of paradise in Barbados! Linda & Vern, Kent UK
This is our 2nd visit to this idyllic spot in Barbados. As we found last year, the accommodation is everything as described.If you are thinking about visiting Barbados, we guarantee you will not be disappointed with this accommodation. Added to this, the charming hosts, make you feel very welcome, as do the people of Barbados, wherever you go. You are minutes from all amenities, but at the same time in a peaceful location. We travelled all over on the local transport, which is excellent value and good fun! Fabulous beaches and crystal waters, what more could you want? As you can tell, this holiday rental comes highly recommended!
Paradise Found! Linda & Mike, Stalbridge Dorset UK
This was the perfect place to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. Carefully selected from its description, Newstead Cottage lived up to expectation and more. Its facilities and our thoughtful hosts from the welcome jug of cool water on arrival, delicious warm banana bread and car hire booking made for a thoroughly relaxing and comfortable stay. Sitting on the patio with its beautiful garden vista, watching the wildlife and listening to the whistling frogs while sipping rum on the rocks was heaven!
Perfectly positioned for the stunning Accra beach and boardwalk, restaurants and public transport. For us it was the opportunity for chilling or 'limin', walking along the beach and boardwalk (and yes it really is like the adverts) passing the time of day with friendly locals but above all having the opportunity to stay and return to Newstead each day that made our holiday so enjoyable. There would be no hesitation in recommending Newstead to others!
