We visited the Barbados with another couple for 11 nights. Mullhaven Cottage is set in beautiful grounds, attached to a main house occupied by owner, Karin. The location is perfect...5 minute walk to Mullins Beach and restaurant and the bus line which will take you anywhere you want to go. Ideally situated between Holetown and Speightstown which have restaurants, grocery stores, banks, etc. The cottage has everything you need, but be cautioned that you must purchase everything...dish detergent, toiletpaper, laundry soap. Air conditioning is an additional $10 a night per bedroom and wasn't needed in the front bedroom, but definitely required for the back bedroom. Karin was very kind to bring in some requested supplies for our first night and was extremely helpful with recommendations for restaurants and arrangements for activities and taxis. The pool was lovely and we had full use of it. The only downside was the close proximity of the owner as it was hard not to feel like an intruder at times.

The swimming with the turtles on a small 5 man catamaran was definitely a highlight...arranged by Karin. Our favourite restaurants were Angry Annies and Spagos (for pizza)in Holetown, The Fish Pot in Little Good Harbour, and Mangos by the Sea in Speightstown. A car rental for a day or two is recommended to tour the north and east coasts, but beware of the narrow roads, poor signage and very fast Bajan drivers. A definite highlight of the Barbados is the Bajan people...they are friendly, helpful and great ambassadors of their island. We would definitely go back.

Recommended for: age 55+, tourists without a car

Nous avons sejourne au Mullhaven Cottage deux semaines. C'est un petit coin de paradis. Nous avons passe un excellent sejour. Nous remercions Karin, la charmante proprietaire d'avoir fait en sorte que notre sejour soit parfait.

La maison est situee sur un terrain magnifiquement paysage. Tout est impeccable dans la maison. Nous remercions Juanita, la femme de menage pour son excellent travail.

La maison est situe a quelques minutes de la plage de Mullins, près des transports en commun et des nombreuses activites de l'ile. On peut egalement paresser sur le bord de la piscine.

Nous retournerons surement dans ce petit coin de paradis.

What a nice house. The owner Karin is so nice and she had made our stay in this paradise more than confortable.

The house is beautiful, gardened with lot of plants, flowers, lime trees. There is a nice swimming pool. We want to thank Karin and also Juanita (maid) for our excellent stay.
