Guestbook for Ridge View Villa
Vicky Pattinson Date of Holiday : Dec 2010
"We had a great time at the Villa which is very spacious and clean with three large bedrooms and two bathrooms plus a large lounge and kitchen. We would have breakfast and relax in the evening on the lovely big balcony but the star of the house has to be the pool which was so refreshing after the heat of the sunl. Our teenage son would spend about two hours a day in it! The house is very peaceful with large fields behind where you can enjoy watching the antics of the cows and free ranging sheep and goats plus the occasional monkey troop. There is a large supermarket five miles away and local shops very close. We were looked after very well by Mauva and Phillip who are genuinely lovely people and were so welcoming and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them and they had lots of good advice re beaches etc. We hope they continue to enjoy their life in Barbados. The villa is on the south coast so is about 45 minute drive to the west coast but it is opposite Bottom Beach and the location means you can also explore the beautiful East coast as well. It is very close to Crane Beach which is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world - go the the Crane Hotel for the Gospel Brunch (need to book ahead) and then take the elevator down to the beach and rent sun loungers for the rest of the day, finish off with dinner at Cutters (in the village) watching the sun go down over a rum punch - bliss! Make sure you are at the wildlife sanctuary at 2pm when the feed the monkeys - really interesting and fun. We had a great holiday in a great villa and would highly recommend this villa."
Hi Sylvia and Wesley, (8th March 2010)
Well we are back from Barbados after a marvellous holiday.
We would like to thank you for sharing your beautiful villa with us. It really is very relaxing and situated close to everything but far enough away to be peaceful.
We enjoyed watching and listening to the world as the sun rose, the birds, possums, goats, sheep, rabbits and my favourite the hummingbirds and in the evenings the bats would perform an aerial display by the balcony.
On the Sunday we were treated to another aerial display in the back field by the local model aeroplane club.
We loved Barbados and found everyone to be friendly and helpful and would definitely come again. Mauva and Philip were also fantastic, they really did make us feel welcome and we would recommend your villa to all our friends and in fact anyone who would visit the island.
Once again thank you and hopefully we can book again sometime soon.
Adrian and Heather Dabbs.
Mr. & Mrs Jones (24th February 2010)
"This has been a very enjoyable holiday indeed. The villa is clean spacious, well equipped and perfectly located. The local people are warm friendly and dignified and our stay here was relaxing, peaceful and secure.
Finally, Mauva & Phillip made us feel very welcome and as a result we settled immediately. We are very happy to recommend this accommodation unreservedly".
Joy Weeks (February 2010)
Very clean, housekeeping very good, was there as soon as needed.
