Great little hideaway cottage
We loved our stay at Newstead Cottage. The relaxed vibe, lush garden and cosiness of the interior come across even better than photos. Normally we stay in a hotel, but in covid-regulated times it was a welcome change to have a tranquil place where we could switch off, listen to birdsong and the odd cockerel crowing... it felt much more like we blended in to Bajan life. The kitchen was superbly equipped with a huge fridge so we could comfortably fix breakfast. Other nice touches were the bedroom air conditioning, comfy bed and clean en suite shower room. Communication with the owner Susan was quick and friendly; there was no housekeeper but full change of linen including beach towels was all left there. We loved how close the cottage was to our favourite beach, Accra. We rented beds and shades from both the hotel and also Tiki Bar. We recommend Baby Doll on the boardwalk for breakfast, Shakers for the ribs, Champers for a special occasion, and Tiki Bar for lunch, the view and watching the world go by. We'd definitely come back.

Perfect Getaway
First time in Barbados and our expectations have been surpassed. Property is wonderful, good location, 5 mins from the beach and well looked after by the housekeeper Claire. Don’t stay in a hotel, rent a property like this, the experience is so much better!!Few tips, Shakers and Tapas for food, Top Cars for car rental and Cool Runnings for a Catamaran trip. All in all a perfect holiday and thank you for letting us stay in Newstead Cottage. The Frosts x

Lovely garden cottage
Have stayed in multiple situations in Barbados and this is a great selection. As described, low key self catering. Set in the back of the garden is the 1 bed cottage. Short walk to the beach, and local shops, bank etc. We enjoyed our stay very much. Don't let this put you off but if say you had young children...playing in the yard? Sure. Walking to the beach / shops? Be careful! The only draw back is the road outside is quite fast, narrow and there is no footpath. So crossing carefully and staying out of the roadway is key.

Great home in perfect location
We were very impressed with the property. Beautifully situated inside the gardens of the main house and only 5 minutes away from the lovely beaches of Rockley. The Property is well equipped with a lovely kitchen, huge fridge and comfy sofas and bed. Air conditioning in the bedroom was a real bonus too. It was nice to have all the extras provided in the kitchen and bathroom ( such as soap and flannels ) and it was a pleasure to have the lovely Claire who came and cleaned twice a week.

Perfect location to the best beach
We enjoyed our stay at this cottage on our first ever trip to Barbados. It was perfectly located, a quick walk to the beautiful Accra Beach and an even shorter walk to the best restaurant we experienced during our stay, Shakers. Susan was very responsive on email, and Claire was helpful with changing linens and keeping things clean. There was a bit of a mosquito issue after some rain which was a little annoying, but Susan and Claire were both responsive to the issue. We'd certainly consider staying again on a future visit. Thanks Susan and Claire!

Paradise in a home away from home
Mine and my family’s stay in the Marine Gardens was nothing short of spectacular. The property is wonderful and the proximity to the beach quickly washed away life’s stresses. I would recommend my most valued of friends to spend their vacation there as the time we spent was unforgettable. Communication with the landlord was quick and helpful whenever we had any questions about the property, and we were given no opportunities for a negative response to any part of the experience. I would give it 6 stars if I could.

A lovely place from which to explore Barbados.
The cottage is perfectly sized for a couple on holiday and is equipped with everything you need. It's also close to a bunch of bars and restaurants, a short walk from the nexus of St Lawrence Gap and on the bus route to both Oistins and Bridgetown.

Good,
The property is in a good location. However, it is in need of an update, it is old and shabby inside. The outside gates are so bad, we rented a car so every day we had to get the car out and away at night, and the gates totally need replacing, it was a problem every day. The house keeper was phenomenal.

Very private and well-appointed cottage five minutes from fantastic Rockley beach.
This cottage more than met all our needs. It has great ventilation and air conditioning in the bedroom which allows a sound sleep. Susan, the proprietor, has equiped the cottage with lots of thoughtful touches. (Security safe For example) and a blender for whipping up those rum punches. Susan is very responsive to inquiries. Claire, our housekeeper,was equally helpful. While there is much to enjoy about the cottage, the "cherry on top" is the charming open air veranda. Thank you Susan and Claire for a fantastic experience.

A comfortable and quiet holiday home for two
We really enjoyed our one week stay at Newstead Cottage. It really is all that one needs for a relaxing break in the sun. The well-equipped and spacious kitchen has all you would need to self-cater, and there are several good restaurants within easy walking distance, if you prefer to eat out. The large bedroom has a wonderfully comfy queen-size bed, large teak wardrobe, chest of drawers and safe. We didn't need to use the air-conditioning unit, as it was not too hot at night, but all the rooms have large, silent, ceiling-mounted electric fans which keep the house cool. The living room has two comfortable suede leather sofas, a large screen TV, telephone and WiFi. We brought our own books, but the cottage is well stocked with a range of paperback novels and books on Barbados. The en-suite bathroom has a good shower cubicle - very welcome after swimming on Accra beach which is only a five minute walk away. We made good use of the shaded veranda to the front of the cottage - ideal for breakfast and afternoon tea while watching the humming birds and Barbadian doves. We found a useful convenience store only five minutes and a modern fully stocked supermarket only fifteen minutes walk away (for $2 you can catch one of the very frequent buses for your return trip if you have heavy shopping to carry). We hired a car for our stay, but only for exploring the Island. One isn't necessary for local trips. We appreciated that the cottage is gated, with secure parking for the car when we weren't using it. A very important part of Newstead Cottage is Claire, the housekeeper. She gave us a very warm and friendly welcome when we arrived late on our first evening (our flight had been delayed), and didn't leave until she was satisfied we had all we needed for our first night. On her two subsequent visits during the week we enjoyed learning from her a great deal about the Island and about the Bajan way of life. Her enthusiasm and ready smile are infectious, and she made our wonderful week in the sun even more special. Newstead Cottage is a little gem, and we recommend it highly.

Great property ! Will Return !!
What a great place to enjoy our Barbadian adventure ! Close to great restaurants (must try Shakers !) the beach (5 min walk to a fantastic beach) and taxis and busses. The cottage was exactly what we were looking for, a place to settle in, make a meal, or just enjoy the garden view (with the occasional monkey or two) Susan was very helpful, full of suggestions for first time travellers to the island and made the entire process painless. Of course a review wouldn't be complete without a shout out to Claire who made our stay that much more enjoyable, it wouldn't have been the same without her !!

Convenient and comfortable
My husband and I stayed for the last two weeks in July and truly had a chance to just relax and enjoy ourselves. The cottage is a good size so you don't feel on top of one another and we love to cook (especially on long trips) and we had everything we needed to do so. We were there during extreme heat which made cooking a little tricky as it was very hot and humid our entire stay. The air conditioning in the bedroom was very much enjoyed! The living room was a great place to relax and have a spot to eat and plan our days. The beach is 5 minutes walk and there are chairs At the cottage so you don't have to rent them on the beach whic h is nice. Lots of great places to eat within walking distance - shakers is 2 minutes walking distance and had the best fresh seafood and rum sours that were fabulous and very inexpensive! Both Susan and Claire were vey prompt in responding and helping us with any questions we had- even when we accidentally locked ourselves out and had no phone service- the wifi at the cottage worked so we could send emails and we were taken care of right away. Between the hospitality and the space and the amazing beauty of the water and the beaches of Barbados we will look to visit again.
