We had a wonderful holiday at this beautiful well equipped villa. The host was very helpful and assisted promptly with any questions I had. Our thanks also to the excellent house manager and cleaner. We hope to return!
We had a great stay. House was very clean and comfortable. We had a car to get to restaurants, groceries and the beach which was a must. Other than the Deck restaurant which is part of the sugar hill area nothing was walkable to get to. Housekeeper Mary was very nice and had some helpful tips. The host was very responsive.

We couldnt have asked for anything more: such a beautiful home, in a great area close to shopping, restaurants, the beach and some terrific restaurants.
Animal Flower Cave and Bathsheba, and the animal wild reserve to see the monkeys were all terrific stops. Our favorite restaraunt on the water was the Lonestar..
I already miss being on the island and hope to get back

Beautiful property located in an amazing development. Worldclass housekeeper (Mary), excellent nearby restaurant The Deck and two pools and tennis courts to keep you busy! Access to the Fairmont private beach is definitely a big plus. Location is ideal to reach all parts of the island (you have to have a car), supermarket and many beaches and seafront restaurants at only a 5’ drive. Communication with the owner Paul has been impeccable. We would definitely consider coming back!

Thank you again for choosing to stay with us.
Gorgeous property, plenty of space, well equipped, super tidy and clean. The listing accurately reflects the property. Really useful plunge pool to sit in and cool down. The estate the property is on is immaculate, and there were always staff around so felt very safe. Easy to drive from this location to explore the island. A few minutes drive to the beach club, which made getting to the beach and spend time there super easy. I would say there is nothing within walking distance off the estate, but the on-site restaurant was excellent and really useful to walk there somedays for a meal. Would happily stay here again.

Many thanks for choosing The Summer House for your Christmas and New Year holiday and we look forward to welcoming you all again in the future. All the best for 2023, Paul
We are a family of 8 and used the villa and cottage, everything was absolutely fantastic about our stay, what a lovely accommodation and facilities at hand, hence our 5 star ratings. Also Mary the housekeeper made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our wonderful stay. PERFECT
We had an absolutely wonderful time. The house was immaculate, well equipped and perfect for two families with two teens. Views were incredible. Plunge pool was perfect spot after day at beach or at the Infinity Pool. Beach club is a bonus. Entire team from front desk to restaurant staff and Tessa our housekeeper were so friendly and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend a stay!
Such a lovely villa that had everything you could need, the rooms aircon and pool were amazing. Mary was so helpful and nice to come home to a clean villa every day. The main swimming pool was beautiful and to be able to use the facilities at the Fairmont was a pleasure. Beautiful sunsets from the balcony.
A beautiful house and an ideal location close to restaurants and the beach . Mary the housekeeper was very friendly and effficient.
Paul also made the booking process very easy and he was quick to respond to any questions that I had . We will definitely return to the property and would recommend it ! Thankyou for a memorable week :)

I have stayed at several places at Sugarhill and this place was the best. Everything worked well, the showers and water pressure were excellent, all the kitchen equipment we needed for 8 people was there, we had daily house cleaning, they had a propane bbq (a rarity at sugarhill as far as i can tell), the refrigerator ice maker worked perfectly, the property manager was available and very good.

This is a beautiful home, in a wonderful setting, with great facilities. The housekeeper, Mary, was lovely. The house is very well-appointed and everything worked perfectly. Amazing views of the lush landscape and the sea beyond - especially at sunset. The owners were very easy to communicate with and not only helped us out when our other booking got cancelled at the last minute, but also arranged for us to have a late check-out, which made a huge difference to the end of our stay. We would love to return.

My stay in Barbados
I never met the manager while I was there So there was no hospitality team available to us. the mattresses are really bad and the cottage was really dusty. Barbados is really beautiful I would rather pay more and get more service.

Thank you for your feedback following your recent stay in our house. We obviously welcome any comments that help us to achieve the high standard we insist upon. We were obviously surprised and disappointed to read your comments as it is the first time we have not received an overall 5 star review.
The house and cottage are thoroughly cleaned prior to guests arriving and then Mary cleans the property on a daily basis whilst they are in residence. With regards to the cottage I am surprised by your comment that it was dusty as it was not part of your rental agreement.
We are sorry that you did not find the mattresses comfortable, obviously our choice of mattress has to cater for everyone who stays and ours were carefully chosen with this in mind and may not be perfect for all guests.
As explained in my personal email to you, the house manager tried to contact you several times by phone and also two trips to the house but unfortunately no one was at home on each occasion.
Regarding your comment about there being no hospitality team, this may be due to the Covid-19 situation and the Sugar Hill Resort Management reducing visible staff numbers for everyone's safety.
May I take this opportunity to thank you for your reservation.
We were all thrilled to stay in this beautiful villa! Paul answered all of our 100 đŸ˜‚questions by email promptly and accurately before we arrived. It was a perfect setup for 4 couples and Mary, the housekeeper, was absolutely the best!The villa is light and airy and is decorated beautifully. It is set in an amazing community with a lovely pool and restaurant, Carizma on the Hill, within walking distance. A rental car is necessary to get to the beach, but a nice setup with chairs and food/beverage service once there! Loved walking in the morning to see the monkeys which were amazing. A real tropical paradise!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a wonderful review of your holiday. I am really pleased to hear you had a great stay and the property met with your expectations. It's great to continually hear very favourable comments from all of our guests regarding Mary and I will pass your comments back to her. Glad you also enjoyed seeing the monkeys. Your reservation and review is very much appreciated. Many thanks, Paul
It was perfect in every way. The communication we had with Paul (the owner) before we went away and during our stay was excellent. Paul was very helpful over answering our questions and helping us with our grocery pre-order. The villa was very well equipped and spacious and Mary, the housekeeper, was a gem. She was very friendly and worked very hard to ensure that we had a lovely holiday. The location was perfect and we all enjoyed the facilities of Sugar Hill and being members of the wonderful Fairmont Hotel Beach Club. Thank you so much for a wonderful holiday and hope to be back one day.

Had a fabulous time at Summer House.The house was even better in person.The main reception had a restaurant, gym facilities & massive pool with a beautiful sea view especially in the sunshine.You need transport because the taxis will charge more as the area is more affluent, so we arranged car hire during our stay.It is a 30 mins walk to Holetown where banks,shops,restaurants, bars are etc.Mary the house keeper was a delight.All the mod cons in the house ( pool & barbecue in the garden came in handy)and property manager was at hand to deal with any queries. The resort was safe and secure and staff on site were very friendly.

Many thanks for taking the time to post a great review of your stay at The Summer House. We are all very pleased to hear you had an enjoyble holiday and would like to thank you for chosing our property for your stay.
We came to Barbados to move my daughter into Ross Medical School. We had never been to Barbados and everyone at Summer Hill was amazing. The home was perfect. My father an avid nature photographer got 1200 pictures. Over 20 different species of birds. Most mornings we would see the monkeys playing in the trees in the back yard. Our last day there we saw at least 15 monkeys making their way from the back yard to the front yard. The home was fully stocked with anything we could have possibly needed. We were able to preorder food for our arrival and Mary the housekeeper was sweet and kind, she did a wonderful job each and every day. Our stay truly felt like home.
