Charming cottage with everything we need. Clean and tidy. Excellent host. The only disadvantage is the lack of pavement right outside the property which can be a bit hazard walking back at night.
Stayed at this cottage for nine nights while I attended a wedding in Barbados. It's a charming cottage in a great location. It's far enough away from the main thoroughfare that you don't hear traffic but close enough that a ten-minute walk will bring you to Accra Beach, restaurants, a mini mart or a quick van ride in either direction to more attractions. The cottage is very tidy and comfortable, with air conditioning in the bedroom and a sweet patio for breakfast or drinks in the evening. Could easily accommodate a couple (I was alone).Host is very responsive and friendly. I had a great stay!
Susie the owner was very communicative, comfortable bed & AC and really a 10 min walk to rockley beach. 2 big rooms but toilet broken (fixed day 3), electric kettle broken, back room entrance gate to garden unlocked, no instructions, loud 3-5am rooster next door, very loud all night when downpour fell on roof, and front gate hard to move and lock w chain and padlock.
We had a great stay at the cottage, which had everything we needed. Susan was the best host. The cottage is in a Ideal location and lovely neighbourhood,
Peaceful location, walking distance to all amenities and beach, nice garden to sit and relax in. Full kitchen with all utensils. Would definitely return again .
Charming cozy character cottage with everything you could possibly need and more! Outdoor space overlooking gardens with nice breeze and privacy. Very clean and comfortable! Susan is a remarkable host and enjoyed our chats â€ïž we would both highly recommend this cottage. Also the linens are beautiful and slept like a baby đ
We loved our stay at Newstead Cottage. The relaxed vibe, lush garden and cosiness of the interior come across even better than photos.
Normally we stay in a hotel, but in covid-regulated times it was a welcome change to have a tranquil place where we could switch off, listen to birdsong and the odd cockerel crowing... it felt much more like we blended in to Bajan life.
The kitchen was superbly equipped with a huge fridge so we could comfortably fix breakfast.
Other nice touches were the bedroom air conditioning, comfy bed and clean en suite shower room.
Communication with the owner Susan was quick and friendly; there was no housekeeper but full change of linen including beach towels was all left there.
We loved how close the cottage was to our favourite beach, Accra. We rented beds and shades from both the hotel and also Tiki Bar. We recommend Baby Doll on the boardwalk for breakfast, Shakers for the ribs, Champers for a special occasion, and Tiki Bar for lunch, the view and watching the world go by. We'd definitely come back.
Clean and tidy ,short walk to beach ,restaurants and local transport.
Claire the manager was so efficient and helpful ,there to meet you on arrival and a phone call away for any information you need .
First time in Barbados and our expectations have been surpassed. Property is wonderful, good location, 5 mins from the beach and well looked after by the housekeeper Claire. Donât stay in a hotel, rent a property like this, the experience is so much better!!Few tips, Shakers and Tapas for food, Top Cars for car rental and Cool Runnings for a Catamaran trip. All in all a perfect holiday and thank you for letting us stay in Newstead Cottage. The Frosts x
Have stayed in multiple situations in Barbados and this is a great selection. As described, low key self catering. Set in the back of the garden is the 1 bed cottage.
Short walk to the beach, and local shops, bank etc.
We enjoyed our stay very much.
Don't let this put you off but if say you had young children...playing in the yard? Sure. Walking to the beach / shops? Be careful!
The only draw back is the road outside is quite fast, narrow and there is no footpath. So crossing carefully and staying out of the roadway is key.
We were very impressed with the property. Beautifully situated inside the gardens of the main house and only 5 minutes away from the lovely beaches of Rockley. The Property is well equipped with a lovely kitchen, huge fridge and comfy sofas and bed. Air conditioning in the bedroom was a real bonus too. It was nice to have all the extras provided in the kitchen and bathroom ( such as soap and flannels ) and it was a pleasure to have the lovely Claire who came and cleaned twice a week.
We enjoyed our stay at this cottage on our first ever trip to Barbados. It was perfectly located, a quick walk to the beautiful Accra Beach and an even shorter walk to the best restaurant we experienced during our stay, Shakers. Susan was very responsive on email, and Claire was helpful with changing linens and keeping things clean. There was a bit of a mosquito issue after some rain which was a little annoying, but Susan and Claire were both responsive to the issue. We'd certainly consider staying again on a future visit. Thanks Susan and Claire!
Mine and my familyâs stay in the Marine Gardens was nothing short of spectacular. The property is wonderful and the proximity to the beach quickly washed away lifeâs stresses. I would recommend my most valued of friends to spend their vacation there as the time we spent was unforgettable. Communication with the landlord was quick and helpful whenever we had any questions about the property, and we were given no opportunities for a negative response to any part of the experience. I would give it 6 stars if I could.
We had a fabulous time staying at Newstead Cottage - so close to Accra beach and so much more. We will definitely be back for a return visit next year!
Thanks Susan!!!

Cozy Spacious Cottage in Excellent Location!!!
We really enjoyed our stay at this property - so close to Accra Beach, restaurants, boardwalk, shops and transport but in such a lovely quiet location as well! We can't wait for our return visit - thanks so much Susan!
The cottage is perfectly sized for a couple on holiday and is equipped with everything you need. It's also close to a bunch of bars and restaurants, a short walk from the nexus of St Lawrence Gap and on the bus route to both Oistins and Bridgetown.
We had a very relaxing holiday, at Newstead Cottage... everything you needed for your holiday was there... and Claire is a lovely person, always ready to help, we loved our stay, and would come here again â€
The property is in a good location. However, it is in need of an update, it is old and shabby inside. The outside gates are so bad, we rented a car so every day we had to get the car out and away at night, and the gates totally need replacing, it was a problem every day. The house keeper was phenomenal.
Very private and well-appointed cottage five minutes from fantastic Rockley beach.
This cottage more than met all our needs. It has great ventilation and air conditioning in the bedroom which allows a sound sleep. Susan, the proprietor, has equiped the cottage with lots of thoughtful touches. (Security safe For example) and a blender for whipping up those rum punches. Susan is very responsive to inquiries. Claire, our housekeeper,was equally helpful.
While there is much to enjoy about the cottage, the "cherry on top" is the charming open air veranda. Thank you Susan and Claire for a fantastic experience.
