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.

Idyllic stay in a gem of a hotel

We stayed at Cobblers Cove in October, with our three children (aged 21, 18 and 14) and had the most magical week. The staff were attentive and charming, nothing was too much trouble for them. The rooms were stunning, spacious and beautifully decorated. Having a separate sitting room and bar area was perfect and our two interconnecting rooms faced onto the tranquil garden. We swam in the turquoise sea, a turtle bobbing up to join us one day, and it was a memorable and very enjoyable week. We ate often in the hotel restaurant and the food was delicious with a very varied menu. The cocktails at the pink marble bar were a lovely way to start the evenings. We highly recommend Cobblers Cove for an incredible holiday, with or without the children. A gem of a hotel with an elegant and relaxed atmosphere.

A Wonderful Family Return to Cobblers Cove

Returning to Cobblers Cove with my family felt like coming home. We had visited years ago, and I’m happy to say it was just as magical as we remembered. From our arrival, the team made us feel so welcome—many even remembered us from our last visit, which was such a nice touch.
The service was as warm and friendly as ever. The staff went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable and happy, always greeting us with a smile and taking the time to chat. It’s rare to find this level of personal attention, and it made our stay feel truly special.
One of the highlights for all of us was the food. The Camelot Restaurant is simply outstanding, offering a wide variety of dishes that are not only beautifully presented but absolutely delicious. We especially loved the fresh “catch of the day” , and my children couldn’t get enough of the home made ice creams, pancakes and desserts! Every meal felt like a treat, especially with the stunning ocean views as our backdrop. We did go out to a few restaurants and must say they were not near as charming - but all quite “international” and safely bland.
The hotel itself is as charming as I remembered, with its lush tropical gardens, lovely pool, and gorgeous beachfront location. It’s the perfect mix of elegance and relaxation, and there’s something so calming about being there.
We adored staying in the brand new suite: Mile-and-a-Quarter, so beautifully designed and thought through, with lovely views to the sea. Truly spoiling.
It was a joy to share this experience with my family again, and we’re already talking about when we can return. Cobblers Cove is truly a gem—thank you for another unforgettable stay!

We have visited Cobblers Cove before, but only for lunch, so this was our first time staying there and we couldn’t have been more delighted. Our flight was very delayed, so it was almost midnight when we arrived, but the staff waited up for us with a warm welcome and a thoughtful platter of food for us and our grown up kids. Throughout our week’s stay the staff were exemplary - always polite, efficient and friendly. The rooms are absolutely gorgeous, and ours which was called ‘Mile and a Quarter’ had recently been re-decorated with exquisite fabrics by Sam de Teran. The pool is relatively small, but given the sea is only 10 feet away, it’s all you need. The food was excellent with a varied menu. Overall I would thoroughly recommend this hotel and hope to get back there again soon!

Perfection

What a wonderful hotel. Right on the beach, beautiful building, great food and excellent staff. We had a wonderful stay of 6 days. Also highly recommend Renaldo the tennis coach! Cannot fault anything and will definitely be back next year!
Not for me.

This was not for me. I arrived, and as my room was not ready, went to have lunch- server asked if I wanted blackened or broiled lobster in my salad, I asked for broiled, it arrived blackened, and salad overwhelmed with too much dressing. Getting up, I asked another sever what the thing that looked like a little ice cream cart was, and she shrugged…

This was not for me. I arrived, and as my room was not ready, went to have lunch- server asked if I wanted blackened or broiled lobster in my salad, I asked for broiled, it arrived blackened, and salad overwhelmed with too much dressing. Getting up, I asked another sever what the thing that looked like a little ice cream cart was, and she shrugged and said “I don’t know.” New staff? The fans in the dining area weren’t on, told they were broken. I asked the bartender where the Spa was and he told me to go ask reception- finally, another bartender told me it was just to the left. A male server, when I asked how to add a tip, told me: “We prefer cash.” Wow.
Had a great, complimentary boat ride, and the small swimming pool was warm which was great (Barbados pools are all chilly, except for Sandy Lane). I had requested a room on the top floor, months ago- I was taken to a room on the ground floor. They did call and say they found a vacancy on the top floor, but I was shocked my request had been ignored. And this meant time wasted, going to wrong room, feeling let down, stressed, then moving to another room…
Understand that all requests cannot always be fulfilled, but just email and say “We can’t accommodate you, do you still want to keep your reservation?” Then we can go somewhere else.
Room was very clean, pretty, quite sparse- no TV, no toilet paper holder, which was weird. Linens etc/ first rate. There is a 20.00 dollar (US or BBD?) charge for room service- that’s a lot, considering the rooms are expensive and the food, as well. No water provided in the rooms. WiFi good. No beach, just rocks, but I think you can access beaches with a bit of walking? Nice boutique, Spa not open. Very pretty public areas, but pool, dining area seemed crowded, very small. Dinner, too dark to see, but ordered Beef Teriyaki, which was served rare- better to ask what temperature guests prefer. At breakfast, they were out of orange juice, English muffins… I felt very sorry for the Hostess/Manager- it felt very chaotic. I did not feel warm or welcome here, it was a bit mad.
A sort of circus feel, esspecially with all the pink and white stripes decor. Just not my cup of tea.
