Very Spacious, Private, Open Plan Retreat. Pool And Stunning Views Of West Coast


IMPORTANT NOTICE: Contact owner for accurate pricing during Peak holiday periods when there is NO additional charge for extra guests due to a higher minimum nightly rate.

Peak holiday times:
Christmas/New Year, February Half term and Easter holidays.

The Old Sugar House is welcoming and bright with a vibrant, open-hearted, homey ambiance. The large common area of living room, bar and dining areas become a sociable central zone, spilling out onto the patio and pool. It is available to rent from 3 bedrooms up to 6 bedrooms and is fully staffed with private Chef, Butler and Housekeeper 6 days weekly. Pricing depends on amount of bedrooms required/number of guests in party. In off peak periods the minimum rate is £950 per night for the use of 3 x bedrooms/up to 6 guests. There is then an additional £110 per person per night for additional guests requiring more bedrooms. The villa can accommodate 12 guests as the Media room converts into a sixth bedroom (with Twin beds only) and has AC, ceiling fan, wardrobes and an en suite shower/wc. Good wifi throughout the property.

There has been substantial upgrading and modernising of the en suite bathrooms and to the furnishings throughout.

There are two very large Master bedroom suites which have Super King size beds, double sinks in the en suite bathrooms, separate wc, dressing rooms, AC, ceiling fans, and private patio/deck leading from french windows with fantastic views of the west coast which can be admired whilst relaxing in comfortable lounge beds. Flat screen TVs in each master suite are concealed in armoires.

The remaining bedrooms can be made up as King size or Twin rooms (Media room or sixth bedroom can only be a Twin). All have En suite shower rooms, ample wardrobe storage for clothing, AC and ceiling fans.

It is important to note that there are 4 bedrooms in the main house to the East of the property, 2 on the ground floor right next to each other and 2 on the upper floor right next to each other. The fifth bedroom is located to the West of the property (other end of the living deck) and is not suitable for children/teenagers under 14 yrs when travelling in a family group unless sharing with another older teenager or adult. Likewise, the Media room or sixth bedroom although nearer to the other bedrooms, is a little distance away and is suitable for adults or older teenagers. It is only recommended for younger children if sharing with an adult or teenager but not for young children by themselves.

Built on the site of an old sugar storage barn this villa is the perfect choice for relaxed, outdoor Caribbean living at its best. Elegant yet informal, it is deceptively spacious with sweeping views towards the ocean on west coast . The decor throughout is very tasteful with a soothing, neutral palette, creating a totally laid-back environment in the most idyllic, tropical setting.

Three large, comfortable sofas and four great swivel chairs are arranged on the covered living deck for relaxing anytime of day. There is a strategically placed bar with fridge, sink and bar stools which is a fun, social area if a short break from the hot sun is needed during the day. This is also a great meeting place for drinks and nibbles in the evening before dining around a beautiful, locally crafted Coral stone table which seats 14 people and up to 16 people if needed.

The open plan living deck and dining areas lead onto the swimming pool deck which has ample sun loungers, tables and umbrellas. The incredible panoramic views of the west coast are clearly visible from the majority of areas of the house.

The library is well stocked with easy holiday reading, board games, playing cards and a basket of wooden cars and various toys for young children. This is a very useful area for students who may need some quiet time to complete assignments or if one needs to make a private business call. Both AC & ceiling fan in the library.

A short 3 minute drive takes you to the famous Mullins Beach and the gorgeous beaches in Speightstown are just another 3 minute drive north, though it may be difficult to pull yourself away from the breeze-swept pool and outdoor Jacuzzi where many an ice cold local Deputy lager and delicious sun-downer cocktail have been enjoyed.

The three exceptional staff of private chef, butler and housekeeper make sure everyone has a truly relaxing holiday. They will greet you on arrival, offer helpful tips on where to go, book restaurants for you, organize transport if required and generally ensure you have everything you need. Chef will help plan menus and can cater for special dietary requirements. Our butler will keep everyone hydrated with delicious cocktails and the housekeeper sees to items of guests personal laundry as well as ensuring all rooms and en suite facilities are thoroughly cleaned and fresh linens provided regularly.

It is impossible not to fall in love with The Old Sugar House where guests experience the beauty of Barbados and make amazing holiday memories to last a lifetime.

Best Vacation Rental EVER
You will NOT regret booking this villa. The pictures on VRBO doesn't do it justice. This villa is STUNNING. The Staff and owner are so kind, fun, attentive and accommodating. My family and friends came to bim from the 3-9 Aug to celebrate my birthday and this was the best place I could've chosen. Having a chef really made the experience 1000x better as no one had to worry about cooking. Everything he made was super tasty. The butler (Omar) made THEE best rum punches, even sent us home with a bottle. He even helped us decorate for my birthday pool party. The housekeeper is soooo quick. By the time we finished having breakfast she would've already finished cleaning our rooms, wash our dirty clothes and folded them. The entire staff here was so helpful and kind. They really treated us with love. I will definitely be back. Sue (the owner) was extremely responsive and made ALL my special requests happen even early check in. If you want to have an amazing stress-free time with family and friends, BOOK HERE NOW :)

Five Stars All the Way
Our family of 12 recently had the pleasure of vacationing here and loved every single thing about it. The villa, pool, and grounds are gorgeous and the sunsets absolutely spectacular. The villa is well designed with an abundance of covered areas to socialize and beautiful views to enjoy from wherever you are. There are two different eating areas where our large group gathered and enjoyed delicious meals prepared by Chef Terry and served by our butler Omar. Everyone on the staff team was so wonderful. They were very kind and personable and we enjoyed interacting with them throughout our stay. Omar made amazing Pina Coladas and rum punches which we loved. Communication with the lovely owner was excellent and we really appreciated how she went out of her way to ensure that things were well equipped for our four young little ones and we were all well taken care of. We have only been home a few days and our adult children cannot stop talking about how amazing this vacation here was! Thank you so much for this vacation of a life time!

Stunningly beautiful 😍
When we arrived, we we’re blown away. The pictures do not do it justice. The property is beautifully presented and equipped with everything you could ask for. The gardens are amazingly beautiful and the pool and hot tub, inviting. Each room has air conditioning, is spacious and have comfortable beds however, just to mention that most rooms including the communal spaces do have some sort of open aspect so do be aware, you may be visited by a few harmless creepy crawlies. But don’t let that put you off of staying at this luxury villa. The WiFi is great all over the property and there is a Sonos system so don’t forget to download the app so you can have the music of your choice played on the outdoor speakers whilst taking in the far reaching views. Terry the chef, is absolutely perfect. He makes the most amazing mouthwatering dishes at your request. He was available for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Omar, the butler is always attentive and always on hand to help and keeps your glass topped up. 🙃 He makes the most amazing rum punch which must be sampled. Ameena and Bibi, the two house keepers are fantastic too. Always with a smile and were very helpful with my elderly dad. Communication with the owner, Sue was great and she always responded quickly with any questions. She was also very helpful with suggestions for our arrival shopping list to make sure we had the essentials for our first evening and following morning meals. We were a good of ten with ages ranging from age 9 to 85 and we all had a great time. Terry informed us that we were the first ever black family to stay at the house in his 15 years of working there so we were very honoured. We are all Bajan by decent and traveled from the USA and U.K. to have our family reunion. We also have family in Barbados who came to visit us there and the staff were happy to cater for our guests. Thank you to the owner Sue and all the staff for making us feel so very welcome and we are already planning our next stay. Absolute 100%. Xxx

Sunsets, rum punch, and delicious meals await you!
The Old Sugar House (TOSH) is a beautiful, sprawling home located on a ridge overlooking the west coast of Barbados with amazing views. Even more spectacular than the spacious 6 bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, is the expansive covered outdoor gallery area with several comfortable couches and chairs, two large dining tables, and bar area where we spent much of our day. In addition, there is a beautiful pool surrounded by lounge chairs and umbrellas. We were lucky to spend 10 days at this unique home. From the moment we arrived and Omar welcomed us with our first rum punch until Terry prepared our final breakfast, the staff were attentive and made our stay enjoyable and relaxing. The housekeepers worked their magic each day as we ate breakfast and did laundry and ironing as needed. Communication with Sue before our arrival was easy. She always responded to questions quickly and offered helpful suggestions about purchasing groceries and beverages prior to arrival. We were very happy with the location, although the beach is about a 20 minute walk away. TOSH offers a very quiet, private stay, while being just off one of the main highways, which makes for easy access to many of the sights on the island. Located about 10 minutes from Speightstown, 15 minutes from Holetown and about 20 - 30 minutes from Bridgetown, we found it easy to get around with our car rental. Highly recommended for a large family gathering or for multiple couples vacationing together. We hope to return to TOSH some day! Enjoy!

Beyond my wildest dreams!
This was a celebration girls trip I dreamed of and planned for over a year, my dreams of this villa did not even touch the reality! The pictures and video show how amazing the villa is but when you see it in person, it is jaw dropping. Sue was amazing to work with in the planning phase, even helped make reservations for the 10 of us for several things before we arrived. We were all so pleased when Sue was there to greet us on arrival, she truly is a superb host! Terri, Omar, Aleena and BiBi took amazing care of us throughout our entire stay, not an easy task with 10 women. Everyone commented on how comfortable everything is, from the beds to the chairs and sofas. I could actually see the monkeys in the trees from the master bedroom shower! Don’t miss the amazing sunsets or watching the monkeys while floating in the pool. All 10 of us are looking forward to our next trip here!

About the host

Hosted by Susan Moss

Host profile image
Born and raised in Barbados at Bakers Plantation, as a child, Sue used to play in the storage barn that is now her island retreat. Situated on a ridge looking West onto the crystal waters of the Caribbean sea the house is nestled between two trees she and her siblings climbed during their school holidays. The design of the house focused on taking advantage of the amazing panoramic view and how best to utilise the natural breezes so welcomed from the East. The open plan design affords alfresco living the likes of which is difficult to replicate in the UK or many places the world over. All bedrooms having an ensuite affords all important privacy. Although she now resides in the UK, Sue and her family and friends spend as much time as possible in Barbados at their home from home.

Why they chose this property

Without doubt the incredible view was a massive Wow factor in the decision to build The Old Sugar House. The house almost ended up being called 'Wow' due to everyone's reaction when visiting the site. The house sits on arguably one of the best locations on the West Coast, just above Mullins. The cooling trade winds make this a preferred venue to the humidity, sand and lack of privacy on the beach. It is off the beaten track yet close to all the desirable hot spots on the West Coast. All our guests, whatever age, regard this as a massive plus.

What makes this property unique

The Old Sugar House overlooks rolling sugar plantation fields onto the blue Caribbean sea and it is this incredible vista that sets it apart from many other properties offering similiar accommodation. The unique open plan design immediately connects guests with the tranquility of its location. Although off the beaten track, the close proximity to Mullins Beach and the convenient facilities in nearby Speightstown and Holetown mean one does not have to spend too long travelling to a bank, supermarket, drugstore, bar/restaurant. Many Celebrities frequently stay and the house has been the venue for their special occasions. The house is often used for weddings and has been featured in Hello Magazine.
