THE HOTEL
Cobblers Cove is wonderful hotel, which blends the elegance of an English country house with the tropical beauty, charm and character of Barbados. One of the best-loved hotels in the Caribbean, it is the only member of 'Relais & Châteaux' in Barbados. Despite the exotic surroundings, from the palm-shaded entrance through to the coral-sand beach, staying here is like being a guest at an English country-house party.
The resort's 40 spacious suites are clustered around the main pink Plantation House. Located in handsome two-storey structures, they are linked together by paths that meander their way through gardens set with hibiscus, mussenda and tropical palms. All are stylishly furnished and offer an air-conditioned bedroom and breeze-cooled living area opening on to a balcony or patio. Deluxe Suites have partial views of the sea, while Oceanfront Suites couldn't be closer to the beach.
The superb Camelot and Colleton Suites offer the epitome of luxury with a four-poster beds, lavish sitting rooms, rooftop plunge pools and terraces with uninterrupted views of the sea.
