Tiny Home Retreat Near Beach- Marsh Mellow Cottage

positive: nicely decorated clean villa, in a quiet setting. pretty gardens with monkeys running around and roosters heard in the background. negative: the city and the shopping centre as well as the bigger beaches aren't within a walking distance, you need a car; after heavy rainfall, the floor was soaked; there were some big cockroaches in the kitchen which, in this price bracket, is not acceptable rating 6/10

Nice cottage so well located . Hanging rod in the bedroom is too high for a short person to reach. That's my observation not a concern. Monkey experimenting in the shower was an unbelievable. I loved it . I will be talking about it for the rest of my life.

Very clean place and very well located. Just a few minutes by car from a beach. We were brought new clean towels and household items several times. Communication was quick and clear. I will return to this place!

Will definitely stay here again!

This is the perfect stay for any solo or duo travelers that prefer a peaceful oasis with easy access to what's happening—it's the best of both worlds.

Perfect for my trip. I will come back !

We loved the Marsh Mellow cottage! You feel immersed in the natural world of Barbados, the design makes great use of the space, the shower is to die for, and the managers were responsive to any request. 5 stars.

This is my 2nd stay at the lodge so knew it was a very pretty and pleasant place. Comfortable bed, great shower, and nice space. Good parking in a great area of St. James close to everything but you better with a car.

The location is close to drive to local areas and beaches. We also had monkeys on the property one morning which was lovely to see. We enjoyed the outdoor shower/ bathroom concept but I would advise that this does mean the bathroom often has unexpected guests - frogs, cockroaches, milipedes etc. There were some issues upon check in with the cleanliness of the bedding & towels. Once we spoke with the property manager on this, it was rectified & they were responsive to our issues. I would say that the photos online are quite dated and the property is no longer in the good condition depicted - it requires a refurbishment. There are no windows in the property (aside from in the front door), the rest of the property is only wooden shutters. This does make it hard to keep the AC cool air inside when you want to let light into the property & can be noisey with local wildlife in the night time.

Great little getaway, close enough to walk to the lovely west coast beaches and also only 10 min drive to the great restaurants and nightlife of Holetown. The en-suite bathroom (double shower outdoors) is amazing! Highly recommended.
