Small area around sunbeds and pool not for serious swimmers but nice to dip into when hot! The service from the Ambassadors and all staff was first class. Nothing was too much trouble. room was lovely, food... More

From the minute we got there to the day we departed the staff were wonderfully attentive, warm and friendly. The manager Joanna (a perfect example of how to manage) leads an an... More

Just back from a week at The House - A lovely little boutique hotel with only 34 bedrooms. At this time of the year it was very relaxing - the staff were faultless and friendly, without being intrusive, and extremely helpful. Breakfast was excellent and Daphne's lunch or dinner, which could be taken either on the hotel Terrace or at... More

Apart from the fantastic and beautifully appointed accomodations the extremely friendly staff cannot do enough for you.....nothing is a bother. We stayed in a oceanfront junior suite.

Hands down, one of our most relaxing and memorable vacations with special thanks to EVERYONE at The House! We had the pleasure of staying here with a group of my husband's colleagues and their wives/husbands/partners. We stayed at the House for 4 nights, and we would have gladly stayed longer if we could. From the moment we arrived, the Ambassador... More

Having spied The House on previous visits to Barbados,we had thought that we must go there one day. Making a last minute decision to go away from the awful English winter we found a good offer from British Airways Holidays for a nine day stay at the House and off we went. Arriving, you notice this is different. No front... More
