Tiny Home Retreat Near Beach- Marsh Mellow Cottage

This cozy cottage is the perfect spot for couples and solo travelers looking to stay in a residential neighborhood in the beautiful island of Barbados. Enjoy all the comforts of home while tucked away just 1km from the beach and explore the island using this perfectly welcoming cottage as your home away from home! We would be happy to help you plan the perfect holiday.

The cottage was designed to be very open and airy with shutters for windows instead of glass panes, and there is an additional ceiling fan and A/C in the bedroom to keep you cool in the Barbados sunshine. The open plan living area features a very comfortable sitting area and TV with a ceiling fan, and the kitchen is stocked with all the appliances and kitchenware you'll need on vacation. The bedroom has a comfortable queen-sized bed, A/C, ceiling fan, closet space and an en-suite bathroom. The bathroom is unique with an indoor/outdoor shower that has two shower heads, and a beautiful shell and stone vanity.

The cottage is located on the "platinum" West Coast of Barbados, but is tucked away in a neighborhood away from the hustle and bustle. There may be some neighbourhood noises heard from time to time (roosters, dogs, etc). The beach is located just 1km away, and further down the coast are restaurants, bars, and shopping centers. Whilst the cottage is in walking distance of the beach / main coast road, the return trip will be uphill.

The property manager is just a phone call or e-mail away should you need a hand with anything. Please know that we can assist you with anything you need to make this an amazing vacation from the get-go: dining recommendations and reservations, snorkel excursions, island tours.. and more are just some of the things we can offer you.

Complimentary housekeeping services are offered 1 day a week.

Please note that next door is carrying out works which should be finished around April 2025.

Really great place, other reviews sum it up nicely. Loved the outdoor shower and the neighbourhood was really friendly. Lovely view walking down the hill to the beach and perfect location between Holetown and Speightstown. Really is right in the middle of nature, so expect monkeys in the morning and frogs at night, cockerels in between.

Great location for adventurous travelers looking to explore the western coast of the island. Highly recommend renting a car given the location, not totally within walking distance from main attractions like Holetown, Speightstown, etc. or if you want to explore the various coasts of the island like us. If you are walking, be prepared to walk down/up a pretty steep hill. Definitely not easy to find if you are not familiar with the island, and would recommend not following the directions on AirBNB and just calling when you arrive. The woman we spoke with was so helpful and was able to guide us directly there as opposed to the address on the AirBNB. My husband and I had an amazing vacation on the island, and would definitely recommend staying here... and the best part: the indoor/outdoor shower (if you don't mind a few lizards here and there!)

Water, Support, Barking and Cockeril Challenged but Charming
This is a charming small place. It is one of 2 gate/guest suites to the main house. It is half-way up Crick Hill, which is steep. We always drove anywhere. There was no hot water at all. The cold-water pressure was also very low, making a shower a dry challenge. We had to shower at a friend's villa or at the beach. We also had no access to the safe until the management came to fix it 5 days ingo a 10 day stay. The neighbours' dogs barked until 1am and the Cockerels woke us up at 5pm. On the plus side, there was washing up liquid, kitchen paper towels, ice trays and a useful washer dryer. The aircon worked fine. The water was an issue. There was enough to get by, but not also to shower. We were not bothered by the noise, but others might be. The outside shower is great with 2 shower heads...if only there was water enough to get wet.

Cricket Watching
My first trip to Barbados was organized in the two weeks prior to the West Indies vs England Test match starting on March 22nd 2022. Hotels close to the ground were all full so I decided to book Marsh Mellow South Cottage through VRBO, although it was a few miles outside of Bridgetown where the cricket was. The accommodation was exactly as advertised and the communication and help through BSL was first calls. I did have a few questions and the occasional minor issue but all were handled quickly and efficiently. The accommodation was great for me, being on my own for this trip and would be excellent for a couple. The cottage is compact, but has everything you need and I slept well in the comfortable bed and a friendly neighborhood cockerel was my alarm call :-). As for location you really do need a car. Walking to the beach would be a challenge even to the fitter people as the cottage is part way up a steep hill. Also, the essential stores are a short drive away in Holetown. Just to note, the the BSL representative organized the car rental for me. The car gave me the chance to explore the island but there are organized tours you could take also. Overall, a great vacation, excellent accommodation, but you do need a car unless you want to spend a lot of money on taxi's.

Disappointing arrival
I arrived after a long trip to London late in the evening to find the apartment very dirty and have not been cleaned since last guests stayed . Two hours later the apartment manager , very apologetic arranged for a cleaner who came that night and the morning after . The team tried to make amends but basically the cottage is shabby and the whole place is grubby and needs a good lick of paint. The photos on the web site were taken some time ago. The floor was old and very badly marked so it always looked grubby . There is no cleaning products or brush in the cottage so its impossible to keep clean but they did finally send me a brush . Half way through the 10 day stay we had no hot water with very low pressure dur to leak on the road for three days . The shutters are dirty broken and the shower area is in need of a good revamp .There is long standing dirt in the bathroom area around the toilet and hand basin . Every day we averaged 4 hours sleep only due to Cockerels and Dogs waking up the area at 4 am . Most days we found worms .frogs or bigger insects on the floor. Some people may love this but we were very tired at the end of the trip . The location is very good and only a short drive to the beach . As I mentioned the property manager tried to make my stay better for me but the end of the day the owner of the property needs to take the property off the Vrbo sight until he updates this property . The sister cottage , which is identical to this cottage is now being revamped so I think this sums everything up . There was very limited dishes eg so salad dishes . I wanted to move out on my arrival and did call Vrbo team to arrange this but my daughter felt as the location was so nice we should just grin and bear it. I would not recommend this place to any of my friends .

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.

My boyfriend and I had a great experience at Marsh Mellow Cottage, unfortunately cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Communication was easy and Shain made all arrangements for our car hire for us which was a great help. I would definitely recommend hiring a car as location is slightly out of the way but it is easy drive into nearby Holetown. The cottage itself is lovely, the only amenity we missed was a kettle rather than coffee maker, however this is only a very small point. We would recommend Marsh Mellow Cottage to anybody wanting a quiet and relaxing trip.

Fabulous
This property is perfect for a couple looking for a private and independent holiday. We rented a car but if you don't the main road is a short walk down the hill where the bus stop is. The management team were very helpful and so friendly. The place was spotless and the outdoor shower area was amazing!! It was close to great beaches and Speightstown just a short distance away for groceries. This was a perfect fit for our anniversary trip.

We loved this place for our Barbados trip--it's a beautiful, intimate little cottage in a quiet residential area between Holetown and Speightstown. The location was close enough to seemingly get anywhere on the island within about 45min, which was great because we tried to explore as much as possible. It is a little tricky to find and there's some conflicting location info on the AirBNB site, so just follow (Hidden by Airbnb) maps to get there. The space itself was very cute and felt like a little self-contained island--the bedroom is more private and air conditioned, and the semi-outside bathroom is amazing, though only one of the showerheads was working well. Shain was very responsive and helpful and check-in/check-out was simple and quick. We would definitely recommend this place again!
