The hotel

An aura of understated class pervades this charming hotel hideaway, with many of its guests returning every year for an authentic Barbados experience. The attractive, colonial-style building with its iconic, coral-coloured Great House, vibrant tropical gardens and lovely rattan furnishings, overlooks a white-sand beach on Barbados's west coast. Pleasantly secluded, you are still only a short drive from some lovely restaurants and bars — that's if you can drag yourself away from the gourmet wonders of award-winning Camelot Restaurant which offers mouth-watering cuisine, weekly barbeques and a special seafood menu including a selection of freshly-caught local fish. There's a generous array of sports, which include tennis and complimentary daily lessons in water-skiing, sailing and windsurfing for each guest. The spacious suites are beautifully furnished and are packed with amenities. Each has its own balcony or terrace, dressing area and large bathroom filled with REN soaps and toiletries.

When you read reviews you sometimes wonder if people have visited the same hotel. Reviews can be fantastic and the next one highly critical. We stayed for 10 nights having previously stayed down the coast last year. Cobblers Cove is an exceptional experience. I will walk you through the stay. Check in. Arrived early evening, greeted with a rum punch. Very friendly reception staff who walked us through the property. We were then taken to our room and found cases already in there. We had an upper circle suite. Small kitchen area with kettle, fridge and tea/coffee. Separate area with sofa leading outside to garden with sun lounges. Bedroom, large bed leading to a dressing area and bathroom. Plenty of storage space. Shower powerful and always hot water. No bath but not a problem for us. Dining area very clean and open with sea breaking. Breakfast cooked to order and good choices. Cold selection is sufficient although not extensive. Pool area always tidy and well attended by staff. Plenty of sun lounges. Here’s the thing… controversial. Given the majority of guests are English and the age tends to be middle to older there was still a tendency for guests to get down and reserve beds. Guess who would be the first to complain.. the English. The staff tried hard to stop this and indeed left notes on the beds stating that after an hour of no show towels would be removed. Good! Barbecue night was really good. Cocktails very good. A nice touch was the afternoon tea served at 4pm. Set you up nicely until you had your evening meal. Staff always attentive. Reception staff always willing to help with restaurant reservations and excursions. The grounds are very well maintained and we managed to see the monkeys. There is no beach behind the hotel so no beds on beach. There is beach either side and you can walk a bit either way. We would highly recommended this hotel. Read less

Our stay at Cobblers Cove was outstanding in all respects. Situated on a beautiful beach with few outside visitors ( all Barbados beaches are public) the views are beautiful. Loungers are set on the terraces for comfort, views, and convenience- wait staff is around frequently to take your order from the bar or to offer water and fruit, towels, etc. Our suite was perfectly clean, nicely decorated, and very comfortable. Bathrooms have modern fixtures and the water pressure is great. French Press with ground coffee is stocked in the kitchenette , along with an electric kettle and a variety of tea. The restaurant was fabulous. It's " open air" with views of the sea from every table. Most important the menu was varied and the quality of the preparation was excellent. We never had a bad meal. The staff was professional and personable. They were very amenable to providing whatever we needed and were a pleasure to interact with. They really made our stay very enjoyable. There was only 1 negative and it was minor- there are lots of birds hanging around the restaurant( but not in it). Tiny squirt water guns are on the tables at breakfast and lunch! A cute idea and they were effective. We will definitely return. Thanks to everyone for your attention to detail! Read less

Hotel itself gorgeous . Clean (ish) very pretty grounds , pool area nice , no beach to sit on only walk Staff were rude, seemed bored and uninterested, also unhelpful like they were doing us a huge favour , food a lot to be desired . Stayed 3 nights couldn’t wait to move to our next location . Won’t be returning . Hugely disappointing

I am one who prefers a new destination each time we travel, however, I cannot wait to return to Cobbler's Cove for round two. The quaint, club-like atmosphere, superb service, great food and wonderful interior design and gardens make this spot a gem on a world scale. We never left the property for how wonderfully relaxed and pampered we felt at Cobbler's Cove. The (almost) adults-only atmosphere was romantic and chill. Understated elegance reigns at this resort...no flash, but plenty of luxury at every turn. Great job to the graphics team as well! You really have thought of every little detail at CC. Thank you for the memories:) Read less

Returning for a special reunion dinner after a five year absence, Cobblers did not disappoint. Decor was all refreshed and lovely. Sadly, we were not staying there as we just had one overnight on the island before a sailing trip. Service was welcoming and efficient. The food was superb. Altogether a wonderful and memorable evening.
