We have just returned to a very cold UK after what we can only describe as the most amazing 2 weeks. 10 of us ranging from age 12 up to 76 set of to Barbados not really knowing what to expect, all of the correspondence beforehand with Anna and Graham had been prompt, friendly and really helpful, the images of the house looked stunning and the beach looked idilic - we were beginning to wonder if Weston House was too good to be true.
We were met by Deborah, Juliette and Maureen who were friendly, and welcoming, as the door opened the smell of Deborah's cooking just left us with no doubt this was going to be exactly what we had hoped and more!
The house itself is stunning, the views from the balcony are breathtaking especially during a sunset. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable, and the bathrooms spacious. The outdoor area was once again more than we could have hoped for, the pool was wonderful, plenty of sun loungers for us all, and the gazebo offered that little bit of shade when the sun hit is hottest at lunchtime.
We have been to Barbados previously, however we had never experienced the culture and the food in the way we were able to this time, each meal was freshly prepared, we ate flying fish, red snapper, chicken, beef, white fish, a range of vegetables, fruits and cocktails (rum punch and pina colada are a must) all with a caribbean twist.
The beach was great for snorkelling, or just for paddling, we walked along to find some water sports and would highly recommend Gibbs Bay if you like a really sandy spot to swim in with very few rocks. The reefs at the bottom of the garden gave the fish lovers in our family some amazing sights.
All in all our too good to be true thoughts were totally wrong - this holiday was described by all of us as almost perfect - something for everyone, we felt we had our own little 5 star hotel, thank you Deborah for your hospitality and your amazing cooking, thank you Anna and Graham for allowing us the opportunity to spend time in your beautiful spot in paradise. Special Memories that will last forever. Jo, Keith, Lucy, & Abbie Benford - Sean, Maria, Charley, & Harry Turner, Dave Turner, & Barbara Westley x
