The Inn at English Harbour

Fabulous stay from the moment we put our cases down and our flip flops on . The hillside room was fantastic massive bed very exquisitely furnished. The plunge pool made it more spectacular with views to beach and beyond to Montserrat. Disappointed that the plunge pool switched off at certain times. It’s an expensive room not a great way to save pennies. The golf buggy to beach and breakfast was fun way to get around. The beach is beautiful and spoilt for choice for a sun bed ,Water warm and clear . No motorised watercraft so very serine. Staff all 5* Accommodation 5* Breakfast 5* It was going swimmingly until a vegetarian (me) arrived. Vegetarian Food I would rate 2* at best Very few options at lunch .Not one vegetarian sandwich . Only option to get club sandwich minus dead animal. Still charged full price. It was basically a mushroom and spinach sandwich. I tried the veggie burger but was awful. Best option was an omelette not reallly 5* Dinner was the most disappointing. I made it clear I was a vegetarian (Prior to arrival) I was still offered plates with fish on top and the vegetarian option was removing the fish from the dish. When I saw a vegetarian menu I was so happy. However a couple of days in and the food was dreadful. Cauliflower pasta was tasteless Potato gnocchi on mash potato was probably the worst dinner I had and I sent it back for an omelette The veggie patty was shaped mash potato with chips and lettuce. I covered it with ketchup as is had no flavour and was just mashed potatoes. I believe the chef is Italian so where were the 5*’ Italian foods on the menu? The main menu changes weekly but I think the vegetarian menu hasn’t changed since 2023 as a review from 2023 mention the cauliflower pasta. I did talk with the manager and I really hope the vegetarian menu will improve. It’s the only fault I had as over all its fabulous hotel and I would love to return. Perhaps I could see the improvements to the menu if any are made . I would genuinely be back before year end ,) Picture is my final night dinner … my friends can’t believe it’s from a boutique hotel more likely a cafe .)!

The Inn has beautiful suites with large balconies and spacious bathroom / washroom areas. Very comfortable bed. Staff are very welcoming and helpful. The Reef Restaurant is right on the beach with a large breakfast buffet and complimentary afternoon tea plus open during the day for lunch and refreshments. The evening restaurant is at the top of the site (golf buggies for transport) and has a lovely ambience and changing menu. Great cocktails. The beach is beautiful and has sunbeds and hammocks, clean sand and a private jetty for the complimentary shuttle boat to the historic Nelson's dockyard. Overall a marvellous retreat or base for sightseeing.

Only 32 rooms ensure you never feel crowded, excellent location , professional and welcoming staff, high quality food and beverages.

Without question, the most relaxing and well presented destination we have stayed in during an island hopping Caribbean break Spacious grounds which extend to almost 20 acres from the aqua waters of the beach into the vibrant tropical hillside and within a stones-throw of the English Harbour. This really brings a level of luxury, peace and seclusion that few others can match at this price-point. The facilities are extensive and the quality of dining and the wine-list are first class. If you need a recharge and some pampering, The Inn at English Harbour will effortlessly exceed your expectations.

My stay at The Inn at English Harbour was beautiful. Set in a stunning natural location, the resort is perfectly placed by the Outlook Trail, offering fantastic hiking opportunities with majestic views and an incredible variety of endemic flora and fauna. Running here was definitely a challenge (with its rolling hills and uneven roads) but more than made up for by other activities. Kayaking through the mangroves nearby, as was swimming alongside turtles (or perhaps being observed by them 😉), which made for a magical experience. The Inn itself beautifully blends colonial-style architecture with modern comfort, creating a sense of understated, quiet luxury that feels both authentic and relaxing. It delivered what I aimed to find. Service throughout the stay was impeccable…. attentive, warm, and genuinely caring.
