We spent all four nights of our visit to Montserrat at Olveston House. The rooms are simple, uncluttered, clean and cool. Three rooms lead out onto the wrap around balcony with lots of comfortable chairs for lounging around and relaxing. The other three rooms have no direct access to the balcony but compensate with AC. The food and drink is... More

Had a very nice, leisurely lunch here on our day trip to Montserrat. Olveston House was strongly recommended to us and we were very glad we took the advice! Margaret & Carole were attentive and friendly hostesses, even during a very full lunch sitting. The menu was creative and fresh and the setting on the verandah made for a wonderful... More

Just returned from 3 nights at Olveston House. Was the perfect end to the Caribbean holiday. Stunning setting and perfect location for a chilled out and relaxing break. Probably no better hosts in the Eastern Caribbean and many places could learn a lot from Margaret, Carole, Sarah and Mr Wilson! Once you have soaked up the ambience of the island... More

Having stayed at Olveston House for two weeks in October, some at the same time as ARV Oxford, we fully endorse everything she has said in her review. Nothing was too much trouble for Margaret, Sarah, Carole and their staff. Margaret and Sarah's menu was always interesting, beautifully prepared and delicious. Sitting on the gallery having breakfast watching iguanas, egrets... More

What a wonderful 8 days at Olveston. Montserrat is a quiet, sparsely populated island (due to the fact that many people left for good following the eruptions which destroyed the capital,Plymouth, and other areas in the south) so there are not that many places to stay. We chose Olveston, following a review in the Daily Telegraph, and immediately realised we... More

Arriving at Olveston House is like staying with friends but with the added experience of being in a house with a history and some of the best home cooking you will find in the Eastern Caribbean. The rooms are simply furnished and decorated in local style with reminders of the history and owner of the house. If you are looking... More

We spent a week in Olveston house. It has an interesting history, as it for years was a residence of Sir George Martin, legendary producer of The Beatles, who recorded their music in Montserrat. His Montserrat Air Studio saw also many other famous musicians of seventies and eighties. Various memorabilia confirm this story. In our room a Gold LP commemorative... More

I spent 5 wonderful days on Montserrat (4 night at Olveston House). As a solo traveller the welcome is always important and Margaret and Carol made me feel very welcome indeed. The rooms are excellent, the beds extremely comfortable - the showers could do with modernising but that is my only quibble in a location that is just serene. Everyone... More

Stayed at Olveston house whilst on business.Was extremely well looked after by Margaret and Carol for whom nothing was too much trouble. The rest of the staff are friendly and attentive. The rooms are well appointed and spacious. Having previously stayed at another hotel in Montserrat there was no comparison !
