The House experience begins when guests enter along an enchanting private driveway, with lily ponds and walls of blossoming bougainvillea, which capture the essence of tranquillity and the promise of pure indulgence ahead. Through the hotel's wooden doors guests are treated to a stunning and unobstructed view of its white sandy beach and the ocean ahead. The open plan lobby is designed to capture the relaxed and inviting charm of the island - one that is sophisticated, yet informal. more » « less

We have been to the House for 16 days in August 2008: that to say? the staff is absolutely cordial, available and nice (Arden, Kevin, Bjorn, Agnes). The manager Kim is professional and polite; just arrivals we have had problems with the reserved (one bedroom suite garden view) room in the sense that was below our expectations and the manager... more

This place is just incredible. The minute you step through the doors into a beautiful tropical garden and see the brilliant turquoise Carribean sea you know you're somewhere very special. This place demands relaxation, you can do nothing but relax! and thats not only down to the stunning location but also because of the staff here. The Ambassadors are fantastic,... more

The sheer attention to detail is fantastic and consistently exceeds expectations...You really do feel like you are staying with friends...Special thanks to Catherin, Kim, Bjorn, Tamilla, John and Andrew (and all the team). If you are looking for a huge polished, plush, somewhat stuffy... more

We've been home for 2 weeks since we stayed at The House for 7 nights. We've had time for reflection on our visit. We went to celebrate my wife's 50th birthday, which fell on our first waking morning - what a way to spend it! Breakfast, with plenty of champagne was taken on the decked area by the beach overlooking... more

We have just returned from our 3rd visit to The House and enjoyed our stay every bit as the last two trips if not more. The staff are always so friendly and helpful with suggestions of things to do and places to eat. The room was always kept tidy and clean and our breakfasts were delicious, espeially the glass of... more

So it's been 4 months since our 5 night stay at "The House" on Barbados, and I have to say I still don't know what to make of it! We stayed here post cruise following a 7 night southern Caribbean tour on the Windsurf (which we loved) and were expecting a luxurious chilled out boutique style beach break to end... more

Just got back from a three day stay at the House ; the last leg of our trip which included a cruise on the Royal Clipper out of Barbados. We wanted a few days of chilling before we came back to cold London - and the House gave us that and so much more. The hotel is tiny - but... more

I'm writing this while on the beach on my last night at the House. If you are looking for a super relaxing chIill out experience, then I would highly recommend the house. If you are looking for an action packed spot then this is the wrong place. The ambassadors treat you like royalty, constantly offering you goodies during the day... more

The House represents one of the best small hotels my wife and I have ever stayed in anywhere in the world. Everything from champagne breakfasts to pool and beach side service was first class. The room was delightful and opening onto the garden facing the sea. The management was alert and efficient and the staff, all called ambassadors, couldn't be... more
