We had a great holiday at 14 Hummingbird the house is just lovely and had everything we needed, the gardens and views are beautiful, the staffs were very friendly and helpful. l we will definitely be booking again and recommending the property to our friends and family. We look forward to our next visit, Thanks again Mr & Mrs Johnson(Sweden) This was the best holiday we have had the location is great everything is close by and the house and gardens are beautiful, we are hoping to get married in Barbados next year and would like to rent the house and look into having the ceremony in the garden, thanks once again.

July 2009 Summer Holiday

Gateshead England
Review Submitted: August 31, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
This was our third visit to Barbados but the first time we had booked a villa and we were not disappointed. The villa was accurately described and was very spacious and well maintained. The maid visited a couple of times a week and ensured everything was spotless when she left.

The pool area and garden was wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed chilling with a cool beer - just perfect. You can see the Carribean sea from the villa which is at the bottom of the hill - climbing back up the hill is the only slight drawback as there is a very steep incline in the middle.

Public transport easily accessible at the bottom of the hill, supermarket within walking distance (recommend bulk purchase and get the supermarket shuttle bus back to the villa as this saves having to struggle up the hill).

Went into Bridgetown and Holetown a few times, island tour and swimming with the turtles - just brilliant. We also seen the moneys near the villa on one occasion (typical though we didn't have our camera).

We decided not to hire a car and managed to get around the island reasonably well, however if someone in the party has walking difficulties or if you have children you may find it beneficial to hire a car, or of course use the local taxi service.

Our ideal holiday is very laid back and relaxing rather than clubbing. Lots of things to do within reasonable travelling distance but we didn't participate in a lot of these activities as we were more than happy chilling in the villa.

Felt very, very relaxed after our holiday - it was one of the few places where we could have enjoyed staying for another week.

holiday of a lifetime

Review Submitted: July 22, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We have spent just over 2 weeks at this villa and it is superb. The facilities includung the pool are excellent and it was well used. The beach towels and shower towels left are an excellent idea. The location is really good apart from the hill up to the house but it walked off the lovely meals we had in holetown- elbow room is good for a fun night cooking your own food on lava stones - surfside and zacchios and ragamuffins are all reasonably priced. A trip to swim with the turtles is a must. We went with a local guy Roddy (number in vistors book) he was fantastic and took just us and went into the water with us to take underwater photos. He also took us on 2 fishing trips - tuna; makeral and baracuda were caught and cooked on bbq. Had a car for 3 days and was lovely to see around the island. Friday night at oistins is fantastic and the local buses(yellow ones) are so much fun and only 50p a journey anywhere. Fantastic holiday was had - weather glorious - villa superb- beaches to dream of and friendly people.Will be back!!!

An enjoyable stay.

Shegor Darlington, England
Review Submitted: April 21, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
An enjoyable stay at Hummingbird Lane was had by the party of 4 adults. House and gardens were as described and the view was spectacular. The hill up to the house was rather tiring especially in the heat, therefore I would recommend hiring a car. However, we used the services of William the local taxi driver who was friendly and accommodating, he made our stay! The local beaches were clean and never busy. Boat trip to see the turtles and snorkeling was a highlight together with the weekly fish-fry at Oistons. I would visit this villa again and would certainly recomend it for its get-away-from-it-all character, away from the main tourist areas.

Great Holiday in Barbados

Sophiafh Surrey, UK
Review Submitted: March 21, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
We really enjoyed staying in your villa in Barbados. It was jut the right size and the pool was a huge hit with the kids. The location was also perfect for our needs and exploring the island. We found Jackie (manager) and Linda (Cleaner) very efficient and although we didn’t manage to get hold of your babysitter, Jackie recommended another lady called Glendeen, who was lovely.

I have rented a number of villas for various holidays in the past and we found yours the best with regard to management. The advice I got from you was great and it was lovely to be able to arrive at the villa with groceries in the fridge and basic household provisions such as laundry powder and washing up liquid provided. Its the little things that make life that bit easier when you have arrived dazed and confused off a flight.

The villa was great for our two young children (aged 2 1/2 and 1 yr). We felt safe having them play in the house and in the garden. The house was well maintained and we were able to arrange for the cleaner to come a couple of extra times so we didn't have clean up.

We felt the villa was a good price, which is also important in these credit crunch times. I would certainly recommend the villa to others.

We tried a number of restaurants for lunch and dinnrer. Would recommend the Tides restaurant ( v expensive though) or Il Tempio for an evening meal - has some reasonably priced options on the menu. For a blow out lunch would definitely recommend the Lone Star. We took the kids there and the staff were great even though we made a bit of a mess - the food was excellent. We liked the local food at Marshalls too.
