Cottage is excellent, full kitchen, A/C and enough space. It is well placed to visit many great places by car. Area feels very safe and quiet. Property manager lives next door and was very friendly & helpful, they even gave us a number for a car hire which wasn't available online. Another few doors down is LikeaLatte, a really nice cafe restaurant, round the corner is the fancier restaurant NOMAD. However, if you want to go further eg. Supermarkets, St John's, Dickenson Bay Beach, be prepared to either walk for over 30 mins in the heat with minimal pavements, get a taxi or hire a car. The property is not situated in St John's itself, its on what the locals call 'West Indies Oil road', by the West Indies Oil Company. This is a great location if you have access to a car, otherwise you're kind of out on your own relying on taxis. However, this is probably the case with most of the properties on Antigua. We had an excellent stay here.

Great cottage in a quiet location (30 minutes walk to Dickenson Beach, 40 minutes to centre of St John’s.) There are 2 supermarkets that you can walk to relatively easily – Billys and the big Epicurean Foods. The family owners live on site in a cottage on the same plot and are very friendly. AC is great in the bedrooms and there are ceiling fans too. Good shower, and good, well equipped kitchen with stove, oven, kettle and coffee machine. There’s also a big freezer too. Lovely deck. The internet is fast and there’s also a TV here, but we didn’t use it at all. Great stay.

Francois Family

Myself my husband and 2 children aged 12 yrs and 1 yr stayed at Friars Hill Oct 08. The apartment was spotlesss, comfortable and had everything that you need, including a washing machine. The bedrooms are doubles and huge wardrobes and a/c. The island itself is georgeous and the beaches amazing, Long island was a favourite of ours as with children gentle waters and shade! the bar there sells great cocktails! I would also recommend the surf n turf at the waterfront which is near Sandals. We hired a car and drove around the Island which is a must and Shirley Heights is great! All in all we had a fantastic holiday and will be back again very soon, I would recommend this accomodation above any other!

Friar's Hill Guest House

The house is the best value on the island. This was my 2nd time staying there in 2 months. I have recommended it to several medical students for their parents book when they are visiting. The couple next door seem like family now!

About the host

Hosted by Cedric McMillan Junior

My name is Clovis and I am retired and live in the property next door.

Why they chose this property

We have built the cottage for when family and friends come over to visit and have decided to rent it out to other visitors to the island.

What makes this property unique

The biggest benefit of staying at our cottage is the affordability. You can use it as a base to get quickly to some of the local beaches or the town centre.

Complete with A/C, ceiling fans and cable tv & DVD player, you can choose to relax back at the house at keep cool at any time of the day or night.
