11 Reviews of Property 88856 in St. John, Antigua & Barbuda

Very clean and well maintained. Great having landlord next door if assistance is required (propane was used up during a meal and they changed it immediately).

Very friendly and hospitable to deal with. Good location. Easy access to grocery stores and beaches. Second time staying here and would do so again. Highly recommend.

Our stay at Friar's hill was everything we hoped it could be. The property was very clean, well equipped and in a great location, close to everything. As we spent 2 weeks there, having a washing machine was wonderful. The property also had a hairdryer, ironing board and iron, air conditioning and fans in both bedrooms. Although you really didn't need the air conditioners as the house had a great breeze once you opened up the front and back doors.

The owners were extremely pleasant and helpful and make you feel very comfortable.

We have visited Antigua many times over the past 15 years and this was the best place we have rented to date. Great value for the price.

Walking to get groceries and to the beach would be quite a trek but certainly possible. We rented a car as we like to tour the island.

I would not hesitate to rent this property again on my next visit to Antigua or recommend it to friends and family.

The only negative comment I can make is that not being able to park our rental car inside the gate was a bit of an inconvenience.

Other than that, I give this property a 9 out of 10.

Myself my husband and 2 children aged 12 yrs and 1 yr stayed at Friars Hill Oct 08. The apartment was spotlesss, comfortable and had everything that you need, including a washing machine. The bedrooms are doubles and huge wardrobes and a/c. The island itself is georgeous and the beaches amazing, Long island was a favourite of ours as with children gentle waters and shade! the bar there sells great cocktails! I would also recommend the surf n turf at the waterfront which is near Sandals. We hired a car and drove around the Island which is a must and Shirley Heights is great! All in all we had a fantastic holiday and will be back again very soon, I would recommend this accomodation above any other!

The house is the best value on the island. This was my 2nd time staying there in 2 months. I have recommended it to several medical students for their parents book when they are visiting. The couple next door seem like family now!

The house is about 15 to 20 minutes from the airport and a 30 to 45 minute walk from 2 beaches. There is shopping strip mall and large grocery store within walking distance and a local bus stop around the corner. It is a 10 minute ride to the capital, St. Johns. There is also a smaller grocery store just around the corner as well.

If you are not used to walking, you may want to rent a car. We enjoyed walking and riding the bus.

The landlords who live nextdoor were fabulous. We relied on them for directions and suggestions on where to go. They are a tremendous asset!!!

I am already planning another trip less than 2 months. The Friar's Hill house is the best value on the island.

We spent two weeks in Antigua and would definitely recommend Friars Hill Cottage. It was outstanding value for money - clean, tastefully furnished and well equipped. We hired a car for the duration of the holiday which allowed us to see a lot of the island.

We ate at a number of quality hotels but I wouldn't swap our chosen accommodation for anything we saw! My only request would be more mirrors - there's only one small one in the bathroom. As two girls, we'd definitely have made use of a full length mirror! An additional key for the automatic gates would also have been helpful (especially when returning late at night) and would have allowed us to park on the drive. These are merely suggestions and the lack of either didn't detract from an excellent holiday.

Clovis and Dave were very welcoming and helpful, as were everyone we came across during the holiday. I'd definitely visit Antigua again and I wouldn't stay anywhere else. First rate accommodation!

This property is one of the cheapest available on the island and is excellent value for money. It is in excellent condition, being recently built, and is nicely finished off internally. The outside is more attractive than current photos show as a variety of plants have now been put in and will enhance the property as they mature. Everything was very clean. The verandah is spacious and there is a drying area out the back. The couple who live next door are, as others have said, welcoming and friendly. The villa is well situated for a number of beaches, bars and restaurants, St. John's, a coffee shop (at Jasmine Court) and supermarkets. We hired a car, which made trips to the other side of the island easily manageable. We did not see a music system. If that is important to you you would need to ask about it. Also, although there are plenty of saucepans for the burners there are no dishes for use in the oven. The area is a pleasant residential area; the old oil storage tanks (or whatever they are) that can be seen on google earth, although close, are largely hidden by trees.

We stayed at the cottage for 2 weeks and we were so impressed that we have booked a further 2 weeks in September 2008. The Cottage is located 5 minutes from Woods Mall and 10 minutes from Dickenson Bay beach and 10 minutes from St John by car but also walkable if taken leisurely - great way to top up your tan! A car is useful for getting around quickly but you can have just as much fun using the buses.

The cottage is well laid out with 2 large bedrooms and a well presented kitchen. The Wifi works a treat but for the best reception I would suggest the front bedroom. For the price and where it is situated I would highly recommend it.
