Description
Cobblers Cove, on the northwest coast of Barbados, is one of the best-loved hotels in the Caribbean. It blends the charm and elegance of an English country house with the tropical beauty and character of Barbados. Great attention is given to comfort and personal service.
The 40 suites are divided between ten two-storey cottages set in the gardens surrounding the original house, with separate sitting rooms opening on to a private terrace with views over the gardens or the sea. The Camelot and Colleton suites are the height of luxury, with marble floors, four-poster beds and private plunge pools. Cobblers Cove offers a wonderful dining experience at it's award winning Terrace Restaurant overlooking the ocean. The hotel is a member of the prestigious Relais & Chateaux group.
Cobblers Cove offers a fantastic range of complimentary activities including use of the fitness centre, tennis, sailing and water sports (waterskiing, sunfish sailing, windsurfing, snorkelling and kayaking). Activities at an additional charge include off-site scuba diving, golf that can be arranged at the nearby Sandy Lane hotel and private excursions.
